Cliche....I know! Starting therapy in January feels like the Millenial version of joining the gym in January. Cringe.


But, life can be overwhelming. Between work, family, relationships, and all the other responsibilities we juggle, it’s easy to put your own needs on the back burner.


But here’s the truth: you deserve support. Therapy isn’t just for those facing crises or major life transitions—it’s a valuable resource for anyone who wants to grow, heal, and live with greater intention.


At B’well Counseling Services, we’re here to help you navigate life’s challenges in a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment.


Why go to therapy?


Therapy is a unique opportunity to focus on yourself. It’s a space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. Here are just a few reasons why people come to therapy and how it can help:


  • Reduce Stress and Anxiety: Life’s pressures can leave you feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Therapy provides tools to manage stress and regain a sense of calm.

  • Improve Relationships: Whether you’re navigating a challenging relationship, strained family dynamics, parenting (need I say more), or workplace conflicts, therapy can help you communicate more effectively and build stronger connections.

  • Heal From Past Experiences: Unresolved trauma or grief can impact your present. Therapy offers a path toward processing the past and moving forward with greater clarity.

  • Enhance Self-Awareness: Through therapy, you’ll gain insights into your patterns, behaviors, and values, helping you make choices that align with your goals.


No matter where you are in your journey, therapy can be tailored to meet your specific needs.


What Sets B’well Counseling Services Apart?

At B’well Counseling Services, we believe in creating a space where clients feel truly seen and heard. Our practice is grounded in compassion, inclusivity, and evidence-based care. Here’s what makes us unique:

  1. Experienced and Diverse Therapists: Our team includes licensed psychologists, clinical social workers, and professional counselors with a wide range of specialties. This allows us to match you with a therapist who understands your specific concerns and goals. With an average of 10 years in the field, we aren't exactly new at this either!

  2. A Focus on Relationships and Growth: We know that strong, healthy relationships—with yourself and others—are key to a fulfilling life. Whether you’re seeking individual therapy, couples counseling, or family support, we’re here to help you build connection and trust.

  3. Out-of-Network Flexibility: We’ve chosen to work outside of insurance networks so we can focus fully on providing personalized care, free from the constraints of insurance requirements. This allows us to collaborate with you on what truly matters in your therapy journey...not just what insurance deems to be 'medically necessary' (don't get me started on that!)

  4. A Welcoming, Comfortable Space: Located in a 113 year old Victorian style home in Towson, MD, our practice offers a calm and inviting environment where you can feel at ease. If that's too far or you just don't have the time, we also provide virtual therapy.


What to Expect When You Start Therapy

Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s natural to have questions about what to expect. Here’s how the process works at B’well Counseling Services:

  • Initial Consultation: We’ll start with a phone or video consultation to understand your needs and help match you with the right therapist.

  • First Sessions: In your initial sessions, you’ll have the chance to share your story, set goals, and collaborate with your therapist on a plan tailored to your needs.

  • Ongoing Support: Therapy is a dynamic process. Whether you’re looking for short-term support or a longer journey of self-discovery, we’re here to adapt and grow with you.


Common Misconceptions About Therapy

We often hear concerns or hesitations about starting therapy. Let’s address some of the most common:

  • “Therapy is only for people in crisis.” While therapy is incredibly valuable during tough times, it’s just as beneficial for personal growth, self-care, and building resilience.

  • “I should be able to handle this on my own.” Seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. All of our clients are smart, motivated, and capable people....probably because they come to therapy! A therapist can offer new perspectives and tools that empower you to navigate challenges more effectively.

  • “It’s too late for me to change.” Change is possible at any stage of life. Therapy helps you uncover new possibilities and pathways forward.
