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.

Rebecca Aloni

Counselor/Therapist, LCPC

I believe that creating a non judgmental, safe and supportive environment is crucial in fostering a space for healing and personal growth. This process begins with building a trusting relationship with oneself and those around us. When we feel safe, we are better able to open up and explore different aspects of ourselves. Through this journey, we can begin to understand our past experiences and how they have shaped us. My ultimate goal is to empower individuals to uncover their best self, reclaim their voice, and lead a life of authenticity and purpose. Remember, healing takes time, so be kind and patient with yourself and trust the process.

Taylor Allie

Licensed Professional Counselor, LGPC

I believe everyone in life has a unique path they follow. I provide a safe space to help you navigate the ebbs and flows of everyday you may encounter. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy for those experiencing anxiety, depression, intergenerational trauma, low self-esteem, and BIPOC-specific issues such as difficulty maneuvering through systematic oppression. I tailor each of my sessions to the individual and their needs. I greatly value a person-centered approach toward therapy where a compassionate therapeutic relationship is most important. Through a collaborative, creative style we will approach sessions as a mindful opportunity to model ideal well-being and interpersonal practices so that you can feel confident in who you are. Techniques I specialize in are Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Buddhist Psychology. I would be honored to offer you the judgment-free space you need to explore what it is like to be seen, heard, and begin your therapy journey with you.

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.
