Therapists in Bethesda, MD

Hello! My name is Lynn Lynes and I am a psychotherapist licensed to practice in Virginia, Maryland, and DC. I have experience working with all ages, but my passion is working with teens and young adults; lots of young folks are experiencing Depression and suicide thoughts, Anxiety, Panic, OCD, substance abuse, PTSD, and/or Trauma. Most of us are resilient and can work through distressing events and overwhelming stress; however sometimes symptoms interfere with our ability to function to our full potential. That’s when it’s time to seek out an expert who can teach coping skills and provide a safe place to talk about stuff.

With a client-centered and trauma-informed approach, Amy fosters compassion while working with individuals, couples, and families across all age groups. Amy is deeply committed to enhancing relationships, guiding clients from discord and distress to connection and emotional security. With a background in Music Therapy, Amy also integrates mediums like music, art, and imagery to empower clients to articulate and navigate complex emotions. Whether confronting challenges like relationship issues, depression, anxiety, neurodiversity, or trauma, Amy offers support, guidance, and empathy on the path to healing and transformation.

I want to make therapy a safe & supportive space for you, where you can be totally open and we can explore your needs and goals. I believe that every person has the capacity to heal and grow, and I can help you explore your inner world, and identify your unique strengths and resources. Whether you are trying to build meaningful relationships, navigating life's stresses, or trying to finding your sense of purpose, I am here to support you and help you find the skills and confidence you need to live a healthy and fulfilling life.

I am a warm, supportive, and enthusiastic therapist ready to help you heal and overcome your challenges. I have extensive experience helping couples with various issues in all stages of life. Issues include concerns about commitment, communication, trust, intimacy, sex, mental/physical illness, parenting, infidelity, infertility, grief/loss, etc. I also love helping individuals who are struggling with any moods, behaviors, or thoughts that are a burden and difficult to manage alone. I am also the owner of Tiffani Stevenson Lloyd & Associates. We are a group of highly skilled mental health therapists ready to help.

There are times in our lives when we just can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. We often feel overwhelmed in our relationships, not knowing what to do to make them better. As your therapist, I can be there to provide compassion, insight, and suggestions that can help you move in the direction you want to go. I believe that therapy can help individuals, couples, and families develop the skills needed to help you achieve your goals.

I love to work with clients in the process of working through identity struggles, and dynamics at play that impact a person's ability to be authentic. I'm particularly interested in working with young adults, and those in and around the LGBTQIA+ community. I work to provide an affirming, supportive space for healing and growth for all clients regardless of their age, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious background and practices (or lack thereof), or any other factor.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness and person-centered therapeutic approaches. I often see clients on the autism spectrum or who identify as neurodiverse. I also work with clients who have ADHD and can provide both mental health therapy and executive function coaching.

You are ready to make the shift. You have been searching for the right fit, someone who you can trust to walk that journey with you. When it comes to finding a therapist, you want someone that will meet you where you are and help you make the changes you’ve been craving. I imagine you're looking to get unstuck, obtain greater clarity, find healing, improve your relationships with self/others, and empower yourself with tools to live a more fulfilled life.

Are you overwhelmed with school, work, and life decisions? Does it feel like you don’t have the focus or confidence to follow through with your goals? Are you struggling to build relationships and feel anxious or withdrawn in social situations? Parents, do you feel like you’re spinning your wheels to motivate and prepare your child for adulthood and its falling on deaf ears? Are you unsure how to approach conversations you know are crucial during adolescence? Do you long for a relationship where you can be a guide instead of a nag?
