1936517953Does this sound familiar?

Lately, it feels like your life is trying to eat you up and swallow you whole. Every day is some new battle.

Just showing up to work is hard, let alone trying to excel. Your relationships are suffering, too. You know your partner just wants to help, so why did you snap at them last week?

It’s like you’ve completely lost control over your own emotions. Someone else has hopped in the driver’s seat, and they’re running the show.

It’s possible you don’t know what’s wrong.

You can’t pinpoint the problem. Life just feels flat-out overwhelming, and somewhere along the way, things changed. You don’t feel like yourself anymore.

Family and friends try to comfort you. But no matter what they say, nothing helps you feel better or gain control over your life.

1810292188You’re not alone, and this is what we do.

By being here, you’ve already taken an important step. With the help of therapy, you can slowly put yourself back in the driver’s seat of your life.

Your first appointment is a 60-minute intake in our North Bethesda office: we talk through what you’re struggling with, go over your goals, and build a plan. From there, you meet with the same therapist each week, in our office or by video when you’re on the go. We meet you where you need to be.

Our adult therapists are licensed Maryland clinicians with decades of combined experience in anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, career stress and life changes. We use a combination of evidence-based therapies to help you explore your struggles, achieve valuable insights, and develop new skills. What you share with your therapist stays between the two of you.

We can’t wait to help you, too.

Adult Therapy FAQ

Are you looking for a psychologist or a mental health therapist?
Either way, you’re in the right place. Most people who search for a psychologist are looking for someone who can help, and that is what we do. You don’t have to know which title you need. Tell us what’s going on and we’ll match you with the right clinician for it, in person. We answer every inquiry, 7 days a week.
I’ve never gone to adult therapy. What should I expect?

Your first appointment with us will be a 60-minute intake to talk through what you’re struggling with, go over your goals, and develop a game plan moving forward.

How do I know if I need help from a counselor?
If your symptoms are getting in the way of your everyday life – for example, feeling so sad you struggle to get out of bed in the morning, feeling so anxious you skip out on events, feeling so lost you don’t know what to do – it’s likely you’ll benefit from professional help.
What modalities do you use?
Depending on your needs, we might use traditional talk therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), trauma-focused, or a combination of the four.
Do you offer in-person sessions?

Yes. Nearly all of our adult clients come to our office at 6010 Executive Blvd, Suite 503, North Bethesda, next to Pike & Rose, with free parking in front. Video sessions are available when you need them.

How soon can I be seen?

Same-week appointments are usually available, including evenings and limited Saturdays. We answer inquiries 7 days a week.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes. What you share with your therapist is confidential. We do not discuss your care with anyone without your written permission, apart from the narrow situations where the law requires it, which your therapist will explain at your first appointment.

Do you accept insurance?

We are “out of network” providers, which means we do not directly take insurance. We collect payment at the time of service and provide you with a statement of services that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Many of our clients have a substantial portion of their services reimbursed, and most use their Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA). Please contact your insurer for details on reimbursement procedures and the types of services covered. The codes we use are 90791 for intake appointments and 90837 or 90847 for follow-up appointments.

What are your fees?

Our appointments range between $180 and $260 per 55-minute session. There is a one-time intake fee of $60. Please contact the office at hello@tenderheartscounseling.com for more information on fees and services.
