Denise Jones
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, LCSW-C
If you've landed here, welcome! You're reading the bio of a practitioner who exclusively offers EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy. Unlike other therapists who may take an EMDR class or two, I am a Certified EMDR Therapist as well as a consultant for other professionals who want to strengthen their skills using this evidence-based modality. I stay actively connected to a national and international network of professionals who are dedicated to EMDR treatment and research; my colleagues describe me as thoughtful in the construction and conceptualization of client treatment goals. They also note that I can effectively integrate EMDR with other modalities as warranted. It's my hope your finding this information will lead you to think EMDR may be the right treatment - and I may be the right therapist - for you!

Karla Lawrence
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, BC-TMH, CPC

If so, then you are in the right place.
My name is Karla Lawrence, and I’m so happy you’re here. I provide distance (online) counseling and coaching services to adult individuals in Maryland. I specialize in self-care, anxiety, depression, codependency, stress and burnout recovery counseling for compassionate women & soulful introverts.

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.

Shelby Willoughby
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
Are you experiencing difficulty with life adjustments or social connectedness? I am passionate about working with those who are struggling with eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, grief, relational and social difficulties, and members of the LQBTQIA+ community. I believe that the foundation of developing an authentic self is understanding the body's response to life experiences and understanding how it functions under stress. Together, we will create a safe, supportive, and trauma-aware space to begin healing.
In settings such as partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient, I have worked with adults and teens experiencing binge eating, purging, anorexia, orthorexia, excessive exercise, OSFED, ARFID, and body image issues. Throughout sessions, I complete evaluations to determine whether you or a loved one requires more intensive/supportive eating disorder treatment.
In addition, I complete bariatric evaluations that are required for the surgical process. This service helps determine readiness, address any concerns about underlying eating disorder behavior, provide pre/post therapeutic support, and explore alternatives to surgery. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to assist patient's needs and use collaborative methodologies to facilitate supportive communication, reconnection, problem solving, and positive decision-making with teens, adults, and families. I hope to hear from you and look forward to jump starting your mental health journey.
