 There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs.” –Zig Ziglar

The providers at Thriveworks Counseling in Germantown possess premium-level skills and extensive experience. Additionally, they truly care about your health and wellbeing, and they want to help you heal. If you think that you could benefit from working with a mental health professional, reach out to Thriveworks in Germantown. Our counselors, therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, online counselors, and life coaches are eager to offer their guidance and support.

How Can Counseling, Therapy, or Life Coaching Benefit Me?

As we touched on above, the professionals at our office can assist you with managing a vast variety of issues, including harmful symptoms of depression or anxiety, relationship trouble, stressful life transitions, and difficult times. Our counselors, therapists, and life coaches can help you deal with these challenges and live happily despite them. Here are a few other things that can harm your mental health, often discussed in counseling or therapy:

  • Harmful habits
  • Feelings of loneliness
  • Low self-esteem
  • Work stress
  • Family dynamics
  • Relationship issues
  • Poor work/life balance
  • Trauma or PTSD
  • Financial strain and stress
  • Grief and loss
  • Mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD

Remember: this is not a complete list. Anything that proves harmful to your mental health and wellbeing is grounds for seeking mental health help. Your counselor or therapist will consider your unique situation and design treatment specific to you. Here are a couple of examples of the therapeutic process and how it can help.

Are You Like John and Hailey?

John and Hailey started dating 10 months ago. As they approach their one-year anniversary, they question whether they’re really a good fit for each other. After a few weeks of worrying, Hailey suggests couples counseling. Much to her surprise, John agrees and even expresses his excitement.

After just a few sessions, they feel more confident in their relationship and feel connected more than ever before. While their visions for the future vary slightly, they agree they can reach healthy compromises and want to embark on the rest of their lives together.

Or Are You Like Brad?

Brad flaked on plans with his friends for a month straight now. Going out for drinks or seeing a movie always sounds like a good idea, but when the time comes, Brad doesn’t see the appeal. In fact, he doesn’t see the appeal in doing much at all these days. He shoots his friends a less than remorseful text at the last second: “Can’t make it.”

Finally, after the fifth cancellation in a row, Brad’s friends express their concern about Brad and convince him to talk to someone. Brad finds a local therapist and explains how he’s been feeling. Within just a few weeks, and after a diagnosis of depression, Brad’s feeling and doing better.

His therapist has helped him to understand and begin managing his symptoms. And he’s even hung out with a few friends the past week.

Consider Talking to a Thriveworks Psychiatrist

Maybe you’ve been struggling with a feeling of hopelessness, low self-esteem, or a persistent low mood. Or perhaps you’re suffering from ruminating thoughts and panic attacks.

If you’re dealing with a mental health concern that’s interfering with your life, it may be time to speak with a licensed psychiatrist. As medical doctors, psychiatrists can evaluate your symptoms, diagnose mental illnesses, and treat clients via talk therapy, medication, or some combination of the two.

Talking with a psychiatrist can help you break negative thinking patterns and discover effective coping strategies. It can give you the strength to keep going. Reach out today to Thriveworks in Germantown, MD to set up your first online appointment.

Thriveworks Counseling Germantown

Knew how to see past the obvious

★★★★★
It's extremely difficult to confront yourself and take steps to change especially when you feel "comfortable" doing what you have been doing for sometime even, if your actions have resulted in symptoms of anxiety, panic attacks and depression. Shani knows how to see past the obvious and get to the core of the issue empowering you to work through tough emotions. Shani does so in a very reassuring manner and calming tone. It's challenging work but Shani's knowledge of CBT techniques have delivered great results and relief from anxiety and depression.

Counseling at it’s best

★★★★★
My wife and I have been having counseling sessions online (due to COVID) in Germantown. We counsel and get couples therapy from Janet Hawkins Pope. She is a well experienced and excellent counselor. We are very pleased with her. My wife and I highly recommend her not just for couples but for any type of counseling. The counseling sessions and the engagement has been very helpful to us and my family during these tough times.

Extremely helpful

★★★★★
I signed up with Thriveworks at the recommendation of my daughter. We have been thrown quite a few challenges the past few years and especially in recent months. On my first session with Janet I felt a warmth and a connection that usually takes much longer to achieve. She is open and friendly, encouraging and offers guidance. I find that I look forward to our sessions and reflect back on them as well. The additional resources that Janet has provided have been invaluable. I strongly encourage anyone having a tough time these days should reach out to Thriveworks Germantown.

The best

★★★★★
Elizabeth is truly one of the best therapies I’ve see. She helped me get through a confusing time in my life, and she helped me resolve a lot of negative noise and emotions. I liked that she gave me “homework” to do inbetween sessions. The homework allowed me to reassess my values and focus on positive thinking and emotions. The mind can be a very dark place. Seeing Elizabeth helped bring the light back in. 5 stars all around.

Best Mental Health Clinic

★★★★★
I recent started receiving psychotherapy at Thriveworks and so far I am very pleased with everything. The facility is extremely clean, and they are very punctual. My therapist is knowledgeable and extremely professional. I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone who is looking for a great mental health clinic.
Thriveworks Counseling Germantown

Five Stars

★★★★★
Elizabeth is one of the best therapists I’ve been to. She helped me get through a difficult and confusing part of my life by talking with me and guiding me to workthrough my grief. She also gave me self love “homework” after each session. The homework helped me to re-evaluate my values and needs and that helped me implement what I needed to thrive. She offers a safe place to talk and unload with no judgment. Elizabeth truly cares about her clients success and well being, she helped catapult me into becoming a better version of my self. You can tell she truly cares about your success, she’s the best.

Online Information incorrect

★☆☆☆☆
Ive contacted customer service in regards to the incorrect information posted on the Germantown MD site page. You state that the self pay rate is $65 for anyone not using insurance but when making an appointment over the phone the pricing given was over $200 for initial appointments and over $100 for regular appointments. Im giving 1 star based on my over the phone customer service experience. This information should be updated to eliminate any confusion.
