No matter how much you do, that inner voice insists, “You could be doing more.” You convince yourself you just need to work harder, sleep a little less, and spread yourself more thin. Then you’ll finally feel that sense of accomplishment. But the more you do, the louder the voice gets. The weight of the constant stress is exhausting. The tension headache at the base of your skull won’t go away. You can’t control your emotions– the other day you blew up at your best friend. Your mother keeps calling; she’s worried about you.

Life in DC is demanding. I have helped numerous people who are struggling to manage the professional responsibilities of highly competitive jobs while also trying to navigate challenges in their romantic lives. The people I most commonly work with are bright, motivated professionals who are experiencing significant anxiety trying to meet the expectations of others and may be finding it difficult to carve out emotionally rewarding relationships and experiences. Many people who reach out are also struggling with symptoms of depression and inability to fully find meaning in their lives. If this sounds familiar, I can help you identify and challenge unconscious negative beliefs that may be creating anxiety and interfering with your ability to take active steps towards meaningful goals. The people I work with report feeling greater clarity and confidence, and an improved ability to lead a life consistent with their values.

By carefully listening, I work to get behind the everyday surface of a situation to the underlying meaning.

If we could think our way into the life we wanted, we would already be there. But healing and growth is not simply about thinking. It is about attending to our feelings, accepting ourselves where we are, and believing in possibilities. The Four Corners Counseling & Well-being way of therapy, practiced by the founder, Hetty Barnett, and all associates: For Thinking Women (and Men, too): Are you struggling to feel better about yourself and your life? If you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed, if your relationships are causing pain or confusion, we can help. We know from hard-earned experience that being an intelligent "over-functioner" does not mean we can easily soothe our emotional pain and create a balanced life. My associates and I can help you tap into your inner wisdom and strength to create the life you desire. For couples on the brink: At Four Corners Counseling & Well-being, we believe that couples deserve a safe space and a competent therapist to help them navigate their relationship, and move beyond problems to possibilities. This work is sacred, and couples who seek our help are doing so not only for themselves, but for the benefit of their children (if there are any), for their families, and for future generations. We have no pre-determined expectation of how a relationship will unfold. We do firmly believe that any work the members of a couple do to speak for their feelings (not from them) and listen to their partner from a grounded sense of self can reap many benefits in the future, no matter what the outcome. People can grow; people DO grow as they work with me. It takes a village to raise a relationship, and we want to be part of that village. Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of therapy: We are trained in IFS, the fastest growing therapy model today. As a clinical treatment, IFS has been rated effective for improving general functioning and well-being. In addition, it has been rated promising for improving phobia, panic, and generalized anxiety disorders; trauma resolution; physical health conditions; personal resilienceself-concept; and depression and depressive symptoms. Internal Family Systems can help clients learn ways to better relate to themselves, and move toward the 8 C’s of Self-Leadership: calmness, curiosity, clarity, compassion, confidence, creativity, courage, and connectedness.

Living in Kensington offers the charm of a close-knit community just outside Washington, D.C., where tree-lined streets and historic homes create a peaceful environment. However, even in this picturesque Montgomery County town, residents face the universal challenges of modern life—work stress, relationship concerns, and mental health struggles that benefit from professional support.
Whether you're navigating the pressures of commuting to nearby D.C., balancing family responsibilities, or dealing with the seasonal changes that affect mood throughout Maryland's distinct seasons, seeking therapy is a courageous step toward better mental health.
Since 2007, GoodTherapy has been dedicated to connecting people with ethical, compassionate therapists who prioritize client confidentiality and work to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health care. Our mission is simple: breaking down barriers, building bridges, and transforming lives through accessible, ethical therapy.
Kensington residents often seek therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, work-life balance issues, and trauma recovery. The town's highly educated population—with 76% holding bachelor's degrees—frequently experiences perfectionism, academic pressure, and career-related stress that can impact overall well-being.
Maryland's cold winters and humid summers can also influence mental health, with some residents experiencing seasonal mood changes during the region's harsh winter months. The transition periods of spring renewal and beautiful fall foliage offer natural opportunities for reflection and growth in therapy.
Kensington therapists utilize evidence-based approaches tailored to meet diverse community needs. These proven methods help individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges with greater resilience and understanding.

Solution-Focused therapy emphasizes building on existing strengths and resources, appealing to Kensington's achievement-oriented residents who prefer goal-directed approaches to personal growth.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotional regulation skills, while Psychodynamic therapy explores unconscious patterns that influence current relationships and behaviors.
Interpersonal therapy focuses on improving communication and relationship dynamics, addressing the social connections that are vital in close-knit communities like Kensington.
Many local therapists offer specialized services including marriage counseling, family therapy, child psychology, and trauma treatment. With Kensington's diverse population speaking languages including Spanish, French, and Chinese, multilingual therapy options are also available.
