About

Creating Well-Balanced Therapeutic Relationships

At Therapeutic Brides, we stand firmly committed to holistic wellness and are dedicated to empowering our clients to achieve their goals. We understand that therapy is most effective when it aligns with our clients’ unique needs and identities. We recognize that therapy is an investment of time, money, and energy, and we ensure that every individual receives the high-quality care they deserve. By combining our strengths, we establish a strong and balanced therapeutic relationship. We specialize in the Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Model, focusing on teaching essential skills in mindfulness, interpersonal communication, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation. We also incorporate art therapy, attachment work, and CBT modalities to enhance the therapeutic experience. Our therapy sessions are conveniently available via telehealth video conferencing, ensuring accessibility for all clients. As Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW-C) in Maryland and Washington, D.C., we provide comprehensive individual, couples, family, and group therapy for individuals of all ages, along with effective Crisis Response. Our extensive experience encompasses working with clients diagnosed with ASD, Personality Disorders, ADHD, DMDD, ODD, Bipolar Disorder, BPD, Depression, PTSD, and Anxiety. In addition, we proudly support LGBTQ+ clients and those living or working in the USA who are citizens of other countries, including refugees, individuals navigating substance use disorders, and those in recovery. Together, we create a path toward healing and growth.
