Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
I have been a therapist for many years and in many settings. In describing my practice to prospective clients, I like them to know that we work in three intersecting and overlapping domains-present, past and process. In the present, we focus on how you are able to care for yourself and for others, cultivate relationships with self and other in ways that are enriching and not depleting. Using the past, we can come to understand how you show up in relationships, as informed by patterns laid out in your family of origin but in the hopes that you can come to understand and then do differently if you want, rather than acting from a place of default and habit. And finally, we can use process therapies such as EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting, to help you truly process and move past your past experiences and help you to shed the weight of past trauma. I use a pragmatic and interactive style to collaborate with clients to assist them in choosing the therapeutic path that fits best for them. Therapy is about healing and I value using trusted and effective approaches to help you reach your goals in therapy in a timely way that allows you to move on from our relationship into living your life fully and completely. I offer a free, 30-minute initial consult call so we can connect and see how we might be a good fit. Email me to schedule that today!

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.

Jessica Rizk, Healing Hearts VA LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
At Healing Hearts VA, our work is centered around helping individuals better understand themselves within the context of their relationships. We specialize in supporting clients who struggle with overthinking, people pleasing, and anxiety in relationships, especially those who find themselves stuck in patterns they do not fully understand but deeply want to change.
We believe that many of these struggles are not random, but are rooted in meaningful experiences, attachment patterns, and learned ways of coping that once served a purpose. Our approach is grounded in helping clients slow down, gain insight into these patterns, and begin responding to themselves and others in more intentional, self respecting ways.
Our goal is not to change who our clients are, but to help them feel more secure, confident, and grounded in themselves. We support clients in learning how to set boundaries without guilt, communicate their needs more clearly, and experience relationships without constant anxiety or self doubt.
We strive to create a space that feels warm, supportive, and non judgmental, where clients do not have to filter themselves or worry about being misunderstood. For those who are interested, we also offer the option to integrate faith into the therapeutic process in a way that feels authentic and meaningful.
At the core of our work is the belief that lasting change happens through both insight and practical steps. We are committed to helping our clients not only understand their patterns, but also build the tools needed to create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Vickie Bhatia
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You're doing everything right, so why does it feel like it's not enough? That question shows up constantly in my work with high-functioning adults and couples who look put together from the outside and are quietly exhausted on the inside. I help people who are used to handling things on their own figure out what's not working, whether that's a relationship stuck in the same fight, a pattern of overthinking that won't quiet down, or a life that checks every box and still doesn't feel like theirs. I bring honest, grounded feedback and 15+ years of clinical training and experience to that work. If you're tired of managing everything alone, reach out.
