Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
I am Elisha S. Lee, a Licensed Pastoral Counselor committed to providing a sanctuary for emotional healing. Life’s journey can be deeply enriching yet sometimes challenging, and my goal is to support you through those challenges. Together, we will explore your unique story, address the obstacles you face, and uncover the strengths that lie within you.
Counseling is not just about overcoming difficulties; it’s about thriving. My approach is client-centered, meaning I adapt to the specific needs and goals of each person I work with. By integrating evidence-based practices such as Temperament Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness, I aim to empower you with tools and strategies that foster resilience, enhance your relationships, and bring clarity to your life choices.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, navigating relationship issues, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I am here to offer support. Together, we can reveal new perspectives, promote healing, and create positive change. Let's embark on this therapeutic path and work towards a future where you feel empowered to live your life with purpose and joy."

Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
"Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin
As a Black, queer, transmasculine, and neurodivergent scholar-practitioner, I view therapy as an act of radical liberation rather than social compliance. Grounded in the Black radical tradition, I partner with "Deep-Sea Divers"—scholars, activists, and survivors—to move beyond traditional talk therapy and into the realm of spiritual reclamation. My approach is direct and somatic, utilizing Sandplay, Somatic Focusing, and Bibliotherapy to map your internal geography and dismantle the "head trash" of carceral systems. Whether navigating neurodivergence, TBI recovery, or the cycles of dependency, we work collaboratively to honor your lived experience without moralistic shame. I do not sit as a detached observer, but as a witness to your evolution and a partner in your resistance against a broken world. My goal is your absolute autonomy, facilitating the heavy, holy work of unmasking and rewriting your testimony. If you are seeking a sanctuary where your identity is celebrated and your liberation is the priority, I am ready to dive with you.

Kelly McCabe
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
You are probably feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward—maybe struggling with anxiety, relationship stress, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others.
I provide a supportive, collaborative space where you can better understand your emotions, build confidence, and find a sense of balance again. Using a holistic approach that integrates CBT, mindfulness, and somatic techniques, we will work on both understanding your experiences and learning how to regulate them in your daily life.
I work with children, teens, young adults, couples, and families to improve communication, strengthen connection, and create meaningful, lasting change.
My goal is to meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity, resilience, and a stronger sense of self.

Laura Goldstein
Marriage and Family Therapist, LCMFT
Hello, I’m Laura Goldstein! I am a licensed clinical marriage and family therapist in North Bethesda MD and I founded Montgomery County Counseling Center, LLC in 2017. My work in this field started first and foremost because of my passion for family therapy! Nothing happens in a vacuum of just one person. Sustainable change can only occur when the entire system shifts. Therefore, whether or not the entire family is in the therapy space, we must still consider the whole family’s relationship dynamics.
Because of this perspective, I can work with anyone: individuals, couples, and families. Clients are the experts in their own lives. So, my goal is to create a safe and non-judgemental space for them to explore the issues that matter most to them. However, I also believe that clients come to therapy looking for expertise. If what you were doing on your own was already working, you wouldn’t be here. Therefore, I take a rather directive approach to helping my clients learn skills to be successful in managing distress and/or conflict.
What does that mean exactly?
Well, as a therapist I won't tell you what to do or what not to do. But, I can shine a light on your patterns and bring attention to the areas where you can make different choices [no matter whatever anyone else around you is doing]. I’m a “no BS” kinda gal. Authenticity is key! This means sometimes hearing the things that are hard to hear, and necessary to hear. All the while, my goal is ALWAYS to do so in a safe way that feels supportive, empathic, and non-judgmental.

Meredith Luttrell
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCPC, Clinical Supervisor
I believe that real change begins the moment someone feels truly seen — not managed, not minimized, but genuinely understood. My approach is collaborative and deeply human. I bring both clinical precision and warmth to every session, because I think the best therapy holds space for both the hard truths and the hope that something different is possible.
When you work with me, I want you to feel accepted exactly as you are — not as a diagnosis, not as a set of symptoms, but as a whole person navigating something really difficult. My clients often describe feeling like they can finally exhale — like they've found a space where nothing they say will be met with judgment, and where someone is genuinely in their corner. I work hard to understand not just what you're going through, but what makes you you.
And while I hold space for wherever you are right now, I also hold hope — sometimes on your behalf, before you're able to hold it yourself. I believe every person who walks through my door is deserving of healing, connection, and a life that feels livable. My job is to help you believe that too, and to walk alongside you as you build it.
