I couldn't have asked for a better therapist. Nina Zuriff is such a good fit for me. She is very knowledgeable and compassionate. She has really helped me cope with this very hard time I am currently experiencing and makes herself reachable should an emergency arise. I am very happy I selected Nina. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Experience effective therapy with a counselor or therapist in Bethesda

A huge challenge for many is asking for help. What we often don’t realize, though, is that the failure to swallow one’s pride and admit they need help only creates more hurdles. If you are struggling in your life, reach out for help.

The providers at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Bethesda are the best of the best. They are equipped with impressive skills and experience, which enables them to guide you on a successful mental health journey. Each counselor specializes in a given area—we have cognitive behavioral therapists, depression counselors, child therapists, psychologists, anxiety therapists, couples counselors, psychiatrists, and more on staff who are ready to offer care to clients.

If you are interested in working with a mental health professional at our office, you can call today to book an appointment.

What Is the Difference Between Therapy, Counseling, and Psychiatry?

Therapy, provided by our counselors and therapists, addresses emotional and behavioral challenges using therapeutic techniques for mental well-being. Counseling, offered by counselors or therapists, focuses on specific issues and life adjustments, while psychiatry, led by our psychiatric nurse practitioners, involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions with medication.

What Are the Types of Therapists You Can See?

While availability may vary, at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Bethesda, we offer:

  • Licensed Certified Social Workers – Clinical (LCSW-Cs): Specialized in social work and counseling for individuals, families, and groups.
  • Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs): Focused on relationship and family-related issues.
  • Licensed Clinical Professional Counselors (LCPCs): Trained to offer counseling services for various emotional and mental health issues.

When you connect with a provider at Thriveworks, you’ll be sharing your experience with an industry-leading expert; someone with the experience and professional insight you need to move forward.

How Do I Find the Right Therapist?

  • Struggles with addictive behaviors or substance abuse
  • Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities
  • Overwhelming feelings of guilt, shame, or worthlessness

The benefits of in-person therapy include:

  • Face-to-face interaction and non-verbal cues

  • Communicate openly and non-judgmentally
  • Offer support and encourage them to seek professional help
  • Research and connect them with appropriate resources
  • Be patient and maintain a supportive presence throughout their journey to recovery

Our experienced therapists, counselors, and psychiatric nurse practitioners can assist—don’t hesitate to have the individual you love seek help and support.
