I see Chris Hawks for one-on-one talk therapy at the Ellie Mental Health office in Bethesda. First…read moreoff, Chris is a great listener and a compassionate therapist. He helps me to unpack difficult issues I'm facing, and offers me insightful perspectives. He began his career as an attorney, then devoted himself to military service for many years. That work/life experience is reflected in his high level of professionalism and his dedication to helping others. If I share a story about a challenge I'm facing, I don't have to do a lot of explaining. He gets it. It can be hard to find a therapist who possesses all of those important qualities--intelligence, empathetic support, dedication and strong experience. So I feel fortunate to have found Chris and I enthusiastically recommend him.

More often than not people like to blame others when things are not going as good as one would like. Unfortunately, I have to apologize to you for being one of those persons for not recognizing all that she has done with and for me and Nick. Therapeutically, her guidance and support has allowed us to self reflect and get in the place of balance and peace in our marriage, in which I know would have been overlooked and neglected without your guidance. Again, I thank her and recognize her ability to reshape relationships threw encouraging us to work on ourselves, by guiding us to recognize individually what we contribute to where we are and where we want to be in partnership. Thank you, Cyndy

For the nearly decade that I've known Rachel, she has been incredibly insightful in both a face to…read moreface setting as well as her writing. In an interpersonal context in her speech she uses language that shows a maturity and experience that you can't help have rub off on you and translate into the rest of your relationships. Her writing has bettered my relationships as well. Before you can improve yourself you have to take a deep look within and Rachel's articles and tips help you do that. Both personally and professionally, I've benefited greatly. If you're having a rough patch or feeling anxious or just want someone to talk to for a while, contact Rachel and have a chat. You'll be glad you did.

It took me a while to work up the nerve to go see a therapist, but I am glad that I did. She worked with me on my specific anxieties and helped to change my thought patterns. She gave me skills that I now use when I am feeling anxious , and it helps. My life is definitely easier and not as fearful as it once was. I have ruined many relationships in the past and was scared to get involved. Rachel helped me to understand how my disorder affects those around me and how to control my anxieties. I feel more comfortable dating now and am looking forward to meeting someone I love.

Yes, insights abound, but the best and most unique benefit of working with him is I am better at acting in my life and am not just reacting to it. That sense of self-agency with what I feel is the most magnificent gift. His support and guidance has been immeasurably helpful as I live with a chronic pain condition, as I have variously dealt with grief, anger, frustration as well as the misunderstanding of some friends and family.

Tends not to waste your therapy hour, and is not greedy. Most therapists lack integrity and competence. I learned crucial things about domestic violence while in treatment with her. House of Ruth is not a good organization overall, and the center she was associated with quickly deteriorated when she left.

He liked her immediately, & felt she really 'heard' what was going on. Once the problems were ID'd., they began to work on them, which was wonderful. Her parents told me they attended a few sessions, & both felt she was terrific--problem-solving oriented, but also able to see everyone's point of view & validate them. The experience helped him get out of a rut & move on feeling much less doubt & more confidence. He knows it isn't easy, but now has the skill set to help persevere and be more resilient. A godsend in these difficult times!

Bullying and lacking in compassion, she single-handedly drove me away from what had been promising (if expensive) therapy.

I now understand that I am only responsible for 40% of this charge, according to my insurance benefits. Still a lot of money, but knowing this would have kept me as a client.
