We are a group of licensed clinical marriage and family therapists who are committed to providing high quality therapy services for couples, families, individuals and groups. We see many different types of client issues, including but not limited to couples communication, anxiety, depression, anger, family and stepfamily difficulties, and premarital preparation. I have been in full-time private practice for over 10 years. As marriage and family therapists, my staff and I are specially trained to deal with the context between and around clients, in addition to whatever might be going on for them individually. My personal commitment is to provide a safe and welcoming environment in which we can help move clients from where they are struggling and challenged to personal growth, happiness, and greater connection with the ones they love. My relationship with my clients not only includes helping them in the crisis moments, but also being available throughout life for whatever may come up - many return to therapy for "tune-ups" at different points in their lives. I'm honored to be someone they feel safe enough with to return at those times when they need someone to listen. If this sounds like something that might be of help to you, please give us a call at 301-563-9520, or email us at info@laurelfay.com. We look forward to working with you.

Helping Marriages Thrive…Not Just Survive “We’re more like roommates than husband and wife”. “Our problem is that we can’t communicate”. “I just don’t trust him like I used to”. “I want her to WANT to be with me”. “Our sex life is almost non existent”. Some of these quotes may sound familiar to you. If you are struggling with your relationship, know that it can get BETTER. You CAN improve your relationship. Marriage Counseling can help. You may find yourself easily annoyed by your partner or feel like he/she just doesn’t understand you. Have you stopped dating and wonder what happened to the passion you felt when you first got together? Maybe you feel anger and resentment toward your partner for past hurts that have never been resolved. Or perhaps it has gotten to the point where you have become so dissatisfied with your relationship that you are contemplating divorce. Couples therapy can assist you with: * Sorting out confusing feelings * Improving your communication * Increasing connection and understanding * Improving your sex life * Enjoying being together and apart We would like to help your marriage to THRIVE…Not Just Survive.

Anger is just energy we generate when there is a difference between what we want and what we have. There are two types of anger, corrosive anger and authentic anger. Corrosive anger is just energy to change what is, to something worse. Corrosive anger is just unhealthy energy and the ultimate source of our lack of health, abundance and joy. Authentic anger is just energy to change what is, to something better. Authentic anger is just healthy energy and can produce a Garden of Eden on our planet. My publications and coaching are concerned with helping to make you aware of how you can choose to transform your corrosive energy into your authentic healing energy. You can then choose to live a better life, on your journey to the life of your dreams. Only hire me when you are ready to find out how to transform your corrosive energy into useful authentic healing energy to do what you really want to do at your highest levels. Only hire me when you are ready to be grateful and responsible for your own past and present results. One of the major premises of my publications and coaching is that we are totally responsible for our own results from our own decisions. We are the ones who decide what to accept, reject or modify from others. We are the ones who got ourselves to where we are and have made countless previous decisions, including how to respond to the decisions of others. My responsibility is to write and tell what I know has worked for me and some others in my experiences and what I believe so far. I only know what works best for me and some others. You will need to determine what works best for you, since everyone is unique. It is up to you, to find your own inner and outer team resources and your own choice of your spiritual growth path. When you need medical or other information, please go to the medical or other experts of your choice. I am not here for direction, I am just producing information for your consideration and choice. My emphasis is on spiritual health, wealth, and happiness. What happens on the physical level may be or may not be as rapid as what happens on the spiritual level.

Are you having nightmares, or nightmarish worries? worried about your kids, and the stress keeps growing? doing the best you can, but life still doesn’t make any sense? Using EMDR, hypnosis, and/or meridian therapies, my clients and I are active partners in making change in their lives. My clients come to me when they need to change something that’s not working, to develop self-awareness, or to better understand their own potential; and we use whatever tools are needed to make that happen. If something in your past keeps you from being successful now, then we will look at your past. If you want your future to look different, we will look at today to see where changes need to be made. If you are sad or anxious, we will look at ways to eliminate those difficulties. My goal is to help my clients – adults and adolescents – achieve insight during difficult periods, and achieve more satisfaction from life’s pursuits. Whether two or three sessions, or several months of collaboration, our goals are understanding, balance, and well-being. Energy Psychotherapy Ancient Chinese medicine is based on energy meridians within our bodies, and has been used for thousands of years to create physical balance. Now we know that we can manipulate these same energy meridians for greater emotional balance as well. When we move into energy psychotherapy, we are including “techniques that involve stimulating the body at discrete locations by holding or tapping, assuming specified body postures and movements, visualization, use of affirmations, expressed intentions and assertions, and more. Many approaches to energy psychotherapy also focus on the relationship among bioenergy, consciousness, thought, intentionality, and spirituality.”(2010). Energy psychotherapy has helped many achieve rapid change when processing everyday emotions such as fear, anger, sadness,or lack of confidence. Solution-Focused Counseling I provide a solution-focused approach to counseling, using a variety of tools such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Hypnosis, Gestalt Psychotherapy, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) — tools that have proven effective whether addressing anxiety, stress, or weight loss. This approach is sometimes referred to as "Brief Therapy," and limits our work to a specific need. EMDR EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a powerful tool for relieving the distress of anxiety, trauma, or loss. This amazing technique allows us to rewire responses that are no longer beneficial – those responses that leave us anxious, sad, or scared. If you or a loved one has difficulty driving over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, speaking before groups, or taking a test in school, this may be the answer you’ve been looking for! Hypnosis Hypnosis simply invokes a state of deep relaxation and focused attention, commonly referred to as a trance – a state you experience frequently but don’t recognize most of the time! When we are doing something repetitive, boring, or even when we are driving, we are commonly falling into trance states. With guidance that state can be used for your benefit. We can work with an underlying experience or misunderstanding that created stress or anxiety, or more problematic imbalances. And we can do that even if a deep trance has not been achieved. Psycho-Spiritual Counseling This simply means that we combine classic counseling with a spiritual perspective, that takes into account your beliefs, energy states, and states of awareness. You may wind up with an expanded view of the world, and can expect to achieve personal growth and a broader understanding.

I have experience working with a variety of areas of concern including reproductive challenges (infertility, pregnancy loss, and post-partum issues) depression, anxiety, self image, body image, as well as many others. I have extensive experience working with both adolescents and adults. I view effective therapy as a collaborative effort and continually seek out feedback as to how treatment is progressing. Since I believe that there is a strong connection between body and mind, I incorporate mind/body integration techniques, such as yoga and relaxation, which can relieve stress, anxiety and numerous other issues. At Integrative Therapy of Greater Washington, our clinicians work with all ages: from infants to grandparents. Our talented team can help with most any problem. We offer individual, couples, and family counseling; group therapy; and psychoeducational assessment.

At times, your life may seem out of balance, whether the issues pertain to home, work, or relationships. My goal is to help you find the peace and joy that you deserve. I have expertise treating low self esteem, depression, anxiety and behavioral problems. I have specialized training in trauma work including abuse and attachment disorders, and I am trained in the use of EMDR and Guided Imagery for trauma resolution. My style is interactive, supportive, empathic and collaborative and varies in response to your needs and preferences.

For twenty-five years, I have helped individuals, couples and families facing the difficult challenges that we all can face at times. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, uncertainty in your relationship, feeling stuck at work or facing the pain of infertility, I can help you gain clarity, improve your coping skills and help you find your way to an improved life. Selecting a psychotherapist is a highly personal decision and requires time and thought. The therapeutic relationship is collaborative and involves trust, as the issues addressed in therapy are difficult and often painful. Thus, a good fit between client and therapist is an important consideration when embarking on psychotherapy. To determine if I might be the right person for you to work with, I like to talk at some length before scheduling an initial appointment. This usually takes about thirty minutes, is done on the telephone, and there is no charge. We will discuss why you are seeking therapy and my professional approach to the issues you describe. If it does not seem to be the right match, either for clinical or practical reasons, I will suggest other options. Outlined below are some details regarding how my practice works once psychotherapy begins. I will protect the confidentiality of all information obtained in the course of therapy, except for compelling professional reasons, and in accordance with the National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics and the Laws of Maryland and/or the District of Columbia The general expectation that social workers will keep information confidential does not apply when disclosure is necessary to prevent serious, foreseeable, and imminent harm to a client or other identifiable person. In most situations, I can only release information about your treatment to others if you sign a written authorization form. However, there are some circumstances in which no authorization is required. Federal Law (HIPAA) specifies these circumstances.
 A copy of your specific rights as a patient and health care recipient will be provided.
 A therapy session will last for forty-five minutes.
 Payment can be made at each session or monthly, by check.
 Cancellation notice is required twenty-four hours prior to a scheduled session to avoid charges for missed appointments.
 I do not participate in any insurance plans, with the exception of Kaiser-Permanente. I will provide you with a statement of service with codes and diagnosis required by insurance companies for out of network reimbursement. Check with your insurance provider for details.

Let me introduce myself I practice both Psychoanalysis and Psychodynamic psychotherapy.

I have a private practice in Bethesda, Maryland where I see patients from Bethesda, Rockville, Kensington, Chevy Chase, Northern Virginia, and DC Metro Area. I also offer online therapy for patients who can’t easily get to my office. EDUCATION AND CERTIFICATION I have been practicing Psychotherapy for over 20 years.

Dr. Marcus believes that effective therapy is more than just talking about your problems. Many of us talk to our friends about our problems. Afterwards, we may feel better, but eventually we still find ourselves stuck in the problem. This is when you might consider working with a therapist. A good therapist can help you move beyond just talking about the problem. This is done by exploring not only what you think, but how you feel and how thoughts and feelings influence one another. Change begins to occur when you can clearly see the way your thoughts, feelings and life experiences have lead you to make choices that have been problematic. The hardest part is then working with your therapist to come up with different ways to handle life's challenges despite what you are used to feeling, thinking or doing. The Sex Therapy process is very similar to that experienced with other mental health practitioners. The Certified Sex Therapist will meet with the person as an individual or with a couple in an office setting where an extensive history of the concerns will be taken. The Certified Sex Therapist will note both the psychological and the physical components and will establish one or more diagnoses. After this, a treatment plan will be proposed, usually with your involvement in its development. In some instances, the Certified Sex Therapist may work closely with the person’s physician, nurse, or other therapist or counselor to establish causes and remedies for the problems. In no instances will a Certified Sex Therapist engage in any kind of sexual activity with a therapy patient/client, whether in the office or in any location. Don't let embarrassment or shame prevent you from seeking help and having the kind of sex life you desire. For those of you in relationship, think back to the time when you first met your partner. You saw him/her across the room, and something inside you said, she/he is the one. There was a sense of excitement and passion in you. You eventually meet and start dating. Eventually you start having sex and its passionate and really hot. Eventually you become a committed couple (for straight couples it may even lead to engagement and marriage). Romantic love, is natures way of bringing people together. Unfortunately, this phase does not last. Sometimes, power struggles may get in the way. The good news is that most of the power struggles we have can be overcome. Power struggles are opportunities for growth. They represent the issues we have yet to resolve from our childhood. If we can just put our reactivity on hold, engage in a constructive, safe and open dialogue with our partner, we will eventually see that the conflict dissolves. In couples therapy, Dr. Marcus works with clients on how to communicate and connect in a deep way. It is through understanding and connection that couples regain that romantic feeling and rekindle the passion that was once there in the early phase of the relationship.

Therapy typically begins with a phone call or an email. Feel free to contact Megan either way, as she will respond within the same day unless specifically noted otherwise on voice mail or by "out of office" automated email response. The initial phone or email consultation is free of charge. Megan will most likely ask you some basic information over the phone, such as the following: Referral Source (Primary Care Physician, Pediatrician, Psychiatrist, Friend/Family Member, Internet, etc...) Presenting problem (Briefly, what brings you to therapy?) If you are a parent of a child for whom you are seeking services, where does he/she attend school? What grade is he/she in currently? Is he/she receiving any special education services? Demographic information, such as name, phone number, address, marital status, etc... Any prior mental health treatment? Inpatient hospitalizations, rehabilitation, or outpatient services? Insurance information (company, policy, your understanding of how your insurance covers or does not cover "behavioral health" or "mental health" treatment) What information you would like to have prior to your initial session? Megan will also provide you some information on what to expect and what to bring to your initial session. If you have been referred by a physician or other health care provider and would like her to have access to your records or other information, you may either sign a release upon the initial appointment or may bring a copy of your provider's release form signed by you. The next step in beginning therapy is to schedule and participate an initial intake appointment in the office. The first session is 75 minutes long, as it usually involves further information gathering and treatment planning. Depending on your reason for coming to therapy, this initial session will provide an opportunity to get acquainted and for Megan to begin developing an understanding of how she can best be of help to you, your child or adolescent, or your family as a whole. After the initial session, if you decide to continue therapy, you will have the opportunity to schedule the next session or two. Some people prefer to have a weekly standing appointment and others need more flexibility in scheduling ahead of time. Subsequent sessions will typically be 50 minutes in duration, unless requested otherwise or in more crisis-oriented situations.

Together we will uncover your hopes and dreams, identify the obstacles and discover ways to reduce them, allowing for the possibility of turning your potential into reality. I have heard it time and time again: "I've wanted to do this for a long time but I just didn't want to admit something was wrong with me. Now that I'm here, I realize it is not that something is wrong with me, I just want something more". Therapy does not mean you're broken; it is a tool for personal growth. If you want to gain awareness and learn more about you and your potential for increased wellness and fulfillment, therapy or coaching can give you the tools. SCT* and The Theory of Living Human Systems, developed by Yvonne Agazarian, finds that by reducing the constraints that prevent growth and development, energy is free to lead toward transformation.

From my many years of experience as a psychotherapist, I know the quality of our relationships is central to our entire experience of life. If our primary relationship is not going well, it is hard for us to be truly happy so I am especially passionate about helping couples in crisis, when there has been some kind of betrayal. So many relationships that start out feeling wonderful and exciting end up in frustration and disappointment. In addition, life crises can stress a relationship to the brink. It saddens me to know that couples go through the intense pain of breaking up only to struggle in their next relationship. It doesn't need to be that way. I help couples learn skills that give them immediate relief from their most hurtful encounters and foster deep empathy, understanding and connection. In only a few coaching sessions with your partner, you will learn how to communicate in ways that: * Rekindle friendship and passion * Truly resolve long standing conflict and * Lead to individual growth and satisfaction. I see psychotherapy as helping people access their inner resources, deepen their self awareness, develop strategies for overcoming obstacles and break old habits, and learning coping skills to face the inevitable stresses of life. I am an empathetic, active listener who approaches my clients' concerns with deep respect, honesty, pragmatism, caring and sometimes, with humor. I am results oriented and ensure that my clients can transfer what they experience and learn in my sessions to their real life. I am humbled and honored by the trust my clients have shown me over the years as me I have accompanied them on their journey back to safety and and enriched personal relationships and to more fulfillment and satisfaction with life.

My practice offers inclusive and compassion focused individual and couple counseling and consultation. I help people learn how to observe their thoughts and feelings with less judgment. Mindfulness, empathy and self-compassion training is also offered. For couples, the Gottman method is an evidence-based approach to help you connect and communicate effectively to build a joyful connection and friendship with your partner. My style is active, warm, non-judgmental with a little gentle humor, as well. I consider and honor differences in how men and women think and feel. Should you decide to consult with me, you will be comfortable and supported in whatever style suits you best. There is no one right way to communicate, the key is understanding what makes each other tick and learning how to connect effectively. We all want to be seen and loved for who we are. We don’t want to feel stuck or worried or stressed. My practice includes counseling and support for individual adults, couples, interfaith couples, co-parents, new parents, families, mothers, fathers, teens, and women who may be struggling with the symptoms of postpartum depression. I also consult with parents who may have concerns about their child/teen and adults who want to make sense of their relationships with their own parents.

It is my motto that when you are in need, it is my practice to be responsive and available. I have a multitude of skills and training, and experience of over 30 years as a psychologist both in Rockville, for most of the time, as well as in rural Illinois for several years. I started as a child psychologist and moved on to train and work with the parents too using family therapy, and then became certified as a sex therapist, marriage counselor as well as NLP practitioner. I am also a trained Cognitive and DBT therapist. I do individual, couple and family therapy. I work with anxious, depressed and OCD as well as Bipolars and trauma survivors.. I have experience working with Identity issues (vocational, sexual and gender). I prefer to be more of a generalist. It keeps me well rounded and interested and my clients enjoy working with me on their marriage, depression, sleep issues and their kids' academic issues. I allow email communication when appropriate (within limits) to enhance and complement our work. My flexible hours, Sunday and evenings allow you to come after work and on the weekend. My assistant is trained to give you the hours you prefer, as soon as they become available. My office, in a suburban house, allows you not only privacy but also less impersonal feelings you may get in an office building.
