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.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
What if the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors you struggle with aren't signs that something is wrong with you—but clues that something important deserves your curiosity? Many of us spend years asking, "What's wrong with me?" I believe therapy begins with a different question: "What makes sense about the way I've learned to survive?" Together, we'll explore the patterns that have shaped your life with compassion rather than judgment, helping you develop more flexible ways of responding to difficult thoughts and emotions while creating meaningful, lasting change. If you're looking for a therapist who combines warmth, honest conversation, and evidence-based care, I'd be honored to work with you. If you'd like to learn more about my approach, I invite you to reach out for a complimentary 15-minute consultation.

Kel Lash
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC, CLC
I love working with people who desire to live from their hearts. I'm passionate about self- forgiveness (letting go of meaning) and correcting the myths of forgiveness that we have been taught. People who desire to see the unconditional love in themselves and others and let go of meaning they make in their minds that blocks them from being their happiest, most peaceful, authentic selves. If you have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges that seem to hold you back in life, and want a way to let these thoughts go and live in the present moment, I'm likely a great fit for you. Clients describe me as calm, compassionate, intuitive and out of the box.

Tiffany Taylor
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCMHC, NCC, CCMHC
I love working with people who want someone direct, are motivated to work both in and out of sessions, and have been trying their best to do it all themselves but can't anymore. I enjoy supporting people who have attempted to leave a touch childhood behind but is finding that all of that old pain is affecting their relationships, work, the way they feel about themselves, or are suddenly afraid and anxious when they used to feel like they could take on anything. I love helping you find your way to feeling confident again, or maybe for the first time.
