The passion…read morethat my colleagues have for treating their clients with respect, dignity, and compassion makes this a place I can call home. In a highly regulated world where clinicians have to follow so many protocols for State and Federal requirements BHP strives to meet these standards while not losing the reason we all come to work every day...to provide excellent care because we value what we do and who we care for! Outside of the excellent clinical staff we have dedicated leadership and administrative support teams who work passionately every day to serve this same common goal!

She probes and poses hypotheses only after asking your permission, but her insight is quite often spot on and always thoughtful and thought-provoking. I have felt so much security and greater peace since working with her on a weekly basis for the past few months. This is despite turmoil, anxiety relating to a health diagnosis/disorder, and general upheaval in my current life! Dr. Turer helps to keep me calm, focused, and feeling positive as well as self-aware -- not mutually exclusive qualities, as it turns out. I have nothing but praise, appreciation, and thanks to her. I am grateful for her unwavering support and counsel. I highly recommend her. As an added bonus for those who might find this appealing: she is downright hilarious. All in all, a talented, well-meaning, and terrific psychologist.

Blue Ridge Psychological Center was recommended to me by my primary care physician for finding a…read more"Licensed Professional Counselor" (LCP) to talk with about what I was going through when my Mother passed away last year. There is to this day a stigma surrounding mental health issues. But we as a society need to talk about them - as there is a lot that can be done to help folks out when they need help. Before last year - I never understood why anyone would need to go talk to someone such as a psychiatrist, psychologist, or counselor. But I learned the hard way last summer. My hope is that in writing this review - it will help out others - to let them that know that they need to pursue assistance, get help, talk about these issues and get the issues into the light of day - and get back on the right track! When my Mother passed away last summer - I was pretty stressed out over her passing. I did not do a very good job of dealing with the stress, grief, and anxiety of losing her. My primary care physician wanted me to go talk with a counselor to help me get through this difficult period of time. This was corroborated by the two psychiatrists I went to visit for first and second opinions. They both felt I was experiencing some generalized anxiety over the loss of my Mom. So I started to visit with Eve Radin, an LPC. initially I wasn't sure what to expect, but Eve has this calming effect and she started working with me to find ways to deal with, manage, and reduce my stress. For the first six months or so, I'd go and visit with her once a week. I actually looked forward to the sessions - knowing that I was making progress and with her help am getting back to where I wanted and needed to be. Highly recommended!

I've never felt down before so seeing a therapist was a first and a big move for a 27 year old dude. Adam's solution was immediately medication along with journaling. I was feeling unmotivated and this was the exact task I couldn't accomplish. I also said I didn't want to take pills. Neither made sense. I solved my own problem. I just needed some sunshine and vitamin D. Along with a belittling attitude, Adam spent 20 min of the hour session trying to run my credit card through their machines. Struggling to swipe my card was the focus during my 2 visits. Getting my money felt more important than the goal of helping people.

But, as soon as I walked into my first session with Adam, I knew it would be different. We instantly clicked! I felt a sense of mutual respect, encouragement, and affirmation.

Also, he and his wife, Amanda, were always accessible, easy to communicate with for issues regarding scheduling or payments, and great with reminders for upcoming sessions! Thank you both for all of the work you put in!

Helene's extremely warm and friendly and down-to-earth (not like some other psychologists I've met), but she knows her stuff. She just seems to know exactly what to ask to help me figure out what I need and want to do. I honestly don't know she does that. I feel like I understand myself, and listen to myself instead of everybody else and stand up for myself much better than I used to, though I'm still working on it. I'd recommend her to anybody. (In fact I've already recommended her to two of my friends.)

Warning: My experience with The Sterling Group in March 2025 consisted of misleading claims and…read moreunprofessional conduct that borders on an ethics breach. I saw this practice's name as one of the few providers in DC of in-person group therapy which I was looking for, so I scheduled a consultation call. I was called by the leader of the group, Shelby Allen, LSGW who asked me some questions about what I am looking for, said that it sounds like I would be a great fit for the group and could benefit greatly from it, and then told me I could not join because the group was full. I was disappointed as this seemed like something to bring up before wasting my time but I was somewhat pleased that Shelby suggested I do personal therapy with her until finding a group, even though I was specifically looking for a group, that seemed like a reasonable compromise for what seemed like misleading and unprofessional communication regarding the group. During my individual intake session at the office, I was asked all the basic questions about what I was looking for and I said that if I was going to do individual instead of group, I would prefer something other than cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). She said that she and the practice typically do CBT and I responded that I had not done one-on-one talk therapy in a while and would be willing to try it out and go from there. She then encouraged me to talk about my reasons for seeking therapy, i.e. my trauma, my insecurities, and even - in her words, my "experiences with grief and losing loved ones" which she explicitly asked me to share. Towards the end of the session, she told me that she would not be able to offer me therapy because it was "not a good fit." Feeling gut-punched, I asked why it wasn't a good fit and she said because of two things I mentioned AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SESSION: That I had a preference for methods besides CBT and that I had been diagnosed with OCD. If that was the case, then it is grossly unprofessional at best and a breach of ethics at worse that she encouraged me to share some of my most sensitive and personal, private information under false pretenses. I never would have shared most of what I did with her if I had known what she knew; that we would not be working together in therapy. My experience was grossly unprofessional at best, and an ethics breach, predatory negligence at worst.

I had been nervous to start…read moretherapy again because past experiences felt either too clinical or like the therapist wasn't really listening. With The Sterling Group it's been the complete opposite. My sessions feel collaborative -- some days it's about untangling the big picture, other days it's about what's right in front of me, and both feel equally valuable. What I appreciate most is that I never feel rushed or judged. There's a genuine sense of care, and I've been able to open up in ways I didn't expect. Even outside of sessions, I notice myself handling stress and relationships differently, which is a huge change for me. The office itself has such a calm vibe, but it's really the people who make it feel safe.
