Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Fear, anxiety, anger, shame, guilt, sadness; we are taught to repress these uncomfortable emotions and mask our pain. When these BIG emotions are shoved down for so long, they try to get our attention in various ways. We push back harder. They often manifest as maladaptive behaviors, habits, addictions, and even chronic physical and psychological conditions. We may overeat, overwork, over-promise, people-please, self-sabotage, be unable to focus, thrill-seek, put ourselves in danger, act out, procrastinate, deplete our own resources, and more. The majority of this type of unwanted behavior and thinking often can be traced back to some form of trauma, abuse, abandonment, or neglect. My hypnotherapy sessions help to process the emotions in a safe and loving way, and facilitate healing; so you feel safe in your own mind and comfortable in your own skin. We simultaneously work on reframing the debilitating thoughts and behaviors with healthy and supportive new ones that support your new goals. It is in this way we let go of the old stories and rewrite the future of our dreams.

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.

Sheila Cohen Furr, PhD
Psychologist, PhD, ABN, ACP
Divorce is one of the most difficult life challenges involving grief, disappointment, fear, anxiety, hope and a burdensome sense of responsibility. When I work with families before, during or after this period of challenge, I aim to create an emotionally safe environment where they can speak freely and from the heart while simultaneously helping them develop skills in self-care, finding authenticity, and communication, to promote success in managing the challenge and moving forward. One of the most frequent and shared themes is will their kids be okay and how can they help them through the divorce and its aftermath without their being damaged. This concern is frequently the first point of agreement between the co-parents and is the starting point of beginning meaningful, productive and positive discussions towards reaching agreements. My goal is to help a family in distress move to a better place through the divorce process than where they were when we met, and to give them a healthy path forward.

Alexandria is a historic independent city directly south of Washington, DC, home to a large population of federal government employees, military personnel, contractors, and political professionals whose work creates a distinctive set of mental health pressures around high-stakes careers, security clearances, and the particular stress of working in proximity to political power. The city's cost of living is among the highest in the country, and financial stress sits alongside the intense professional demands of the DC metro workforce for many residents. A strong private therapy sector is well established in the Old Town, Del Ray, and Eisenhower Avenue corridors, and Alexandria residents also have access to the broader DC metro therapy market. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, burnout, relationship difficulties, and the career and identity pressures of a community defined by government and national security work.
