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.**

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.

I am very satisfied with my clinician. She has helped me greatly in solving my anxiety and PTSD issues. There is always stress in my life. But, with the right tools, it’s possible to understand and cope. My clinician provides that for me.
