Couples Counseling

Through our research-based treatment methods, we offer a supportive and confidential environment for Maryland-based couples of all orientations to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Third-Party counselors help partnerships thrive.

Couples therapists and counselors play a vital role in helping couples improve their relationships

We help couples gain a deeper understanding of each other’s perspectives, leading to greater empathy and compassion in the relationship. Even when a relationship seems to have no major issues, therapy can be very beneficial, because it helps prevent minor issues from escalating, fostering a healthier and more resilient relationship.

Additionally, we help couples with parenting young children or children with special needs/mental health diagnoses, co-parenting strategies and dealing with separation, navigating step-parent/blended family issues, and working with the couple when one partner has a mental health diagnosis.

**At this time, we do not have any openings for Couples Therapy/Counseling. Feel free to let us know if you’re interested, and we’ll contact you when openings are available.**

Assessments

Our trained counselors assess the couple’s relationship, including their communication styles, conflict resolution skills, and areas of strength and improvement.

Education

We teach healthy relationship dynamics, effective communication strategies, and conflict resolution techniques.

Mediation

As an unbiased party, a counselor can mediate during conflicts, helping couples communicate more effectively and find mutually satisfactory solutions.

Goal-Setting

We help couples set realistic, achievable, and actionable goals for their relationship, such as improving communication or rebuilding trust.

Enhanced Intimacy

Some of our professionals specialize in helping couples rebuild emotional and physical intimacy, strengthening their bond and connection.

Healthy Boundaries

We also help couples set and maintain healthy boundaries, ensuring that each partner’s needs are respected and honored.

Infertilty Issues

Couples therapy provides a safe space for couples to express their emotions, receive support, and navigate the complex feelings associated with infertility

Family-of-Origin Interferance

We help address family of origin interference, which occurs when issues or dynamics from one or both partners’ families of origin impact their current relationship.

Many of our care providers host virtual sessions.

Client Experiences

This is what some of our clients are saying!

From the moment I connected with [Orchard Mental Health], I felt at home. Appointment setting was easy. They made me comfortable from the start. Although I haven’t met all the therapists, I can tell you the ones I know are trustworthy, smart, and can get to the heart of the problem (with solutions!) quickly. What is good to know also is that they not only provide counseling, they do testing and can manage medications if need be. Highly recommend.

I cannot put into words how much working with Sarah has impacted my life. She has helped me so much to grow into a version of myself that I value. She has really helped me get through these pandemic times and also served as a mentor.

Dr. Archer is amazing. I finally found a therapist that I vibe with and just gets it. She’s very professional, knowledgeable and most importantly she LISTENS! I was a previous patient and just recently returned to this practice.

Mary, the scheduler/administrative worker was so kind, professional, proactive, and empathetic. I could not be more appreciative of her active listening skills, compassion, and willingness to help me.

Dr. Snow is a very kind and professional psychiatric provider.

I love working with Genevieve. She is supportive and a very nice therapist.

Understanding the Therapeutic Relationship

We have relationships with many people over the course of our lives. However, there is a uniqueness to the relationship we have with our therapists. The relationship between a client and their therapist is what can make or break a therapy experience.

Will My Therapist Send Me to the Hospital?

First, please know that hospitalization is not done lightly. No therapist enjoys sending their clients to the emergency room. This blog will cover some of the reasons why a therapist may make the call to send their clients to the hospital.

Getting Older — Memory and Cognitive Concerns

As we get older, it is inevitable that we are going to experience memory and cognitive concerns. So, when should you start to worry that something more serious is going on? If you, a family member, or a loved one believes that significant memory and cognitive concerns are present, it is best to talk with your PCP.
