Gottman Method
Dr. Brandee Zettel
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe that the quality of our lives is defined by the quality of our relationships. As a Christian, I believe that God has created us to be in relationships with Him and others. I love empowering clients to live out their faith authentically by aligning their behaviors with their beliefs—creating a life of holistic wholeness and emotional health. I’m here to help you move past surface-level misunderstandings and build a foundation of deep, authentic connection. Whether you’re looking to heal a betrayal of trust, navigate the complexities of parenting, or simply communicate more clearly at work, we will work together to develop the tools you need. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create lasting bonds in every area of your life.

Gottman Method
Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
I provide professional, results-oriented counseling for individuals, couples, and families who are seeking meaningful, lasting change. My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and clinical hypnosis, and is enhanced by the integration of approaches such as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This combination allows me to address both the conscious and unconscious patterns that influence how you think, feel, and respond—often producing more efficient and impactful results.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I also specialize in working with couples and families to improve communication, resolve conflict, and rebuild connection. My approach is structured, collaborative, and focused on helping you move forward with clarity, confidence, and a greater sense of control in your life and relationships.

Gottman Method
Althea Dent
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
My approach to therapy is grounded in collaboration, respect, and practical growth. Therapy with me is a shared process focused on helping you move from feeling stuck toward greater clarity and confidence. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused methods, and a Socratic, meta-questioning style to help clients examine patterns, strengthen self-awareness, and develop effective coping strategies. My work often supports people navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, and relationship concerns, with an emphasis on tools that can be applied in everyday life. I view the therapeutic relationship as central to meaningful change.
14 Years Experience
Online in Arlington, VA
Arlington is home to the Pentagon and a concentration of federal government, defense contracting, and intelligence community workers that gives it a distinctive therapy clientele — people who often cannot openly discuss their work, carry significant stress related to security clearances, and navigate the psychological weight of careers lived at the intersection of policy and national security. The county is one of the most educated and affluent in the United States, with a population that is generally comfortable seeking therapy and financially able to engage in longer-term work. VHC Health (formerly Virginia Hospital Center) and the broader Northern Virginia healthcare ecosystem provide institutional mental health resources alongside one of the most established private practice communities in the Washington DC metro area. Arlington's large Latino population — concentrated in the Columbia Pike corridor — creates important demand for Spanish-speaking and culturally affirming therapists alongside the predominantly white-collar therapy clientele.
