Give yourself the gift of trying therapy.

Hetty, my therapist, is in the moment with me, always. She demonstrates how to be emotionally present in her way of being with me. She has a lovely way of reminding me to be where I am and accept it. She helps me keep my expectations of myself reasonable so they don’t become a path to self criticism. Hetty's ability to be emotionally present and seemingly at peace 100% of the time is impressive. She shows tremendous respect for me and my journey, always asking if it is alright to process something I’ve said at a deeper level or stay with it for a while before going there. It is clear that she is following her true calling, and she inspires me to do the same.— Robin, Rockville, MD

Enlightening journey of self-discovery

Working with Jeremy has been an enlightening journey of self-discovery and getting to know my parts. With his help, I've been able to better understand the true depth of my feelings and how they arise. I've gotten to better know and appreciate myself, which is a reward I don't think I could have ever achieved on my own.

Loving care, great listening.

I would absolutely recommend Four Corners Counseling & Well-being to anyone. I enjoy and look forward to my sessions. It helps ground and focus me, and although not always easy, I am left feeling energized and positive for the week ahead. I couldn’t feel better about this investment in myself, and in our relationship and work together!

Gentle and affirming guidance

When I came to Rina I was at my lowest and couldn't see a way out. With Rina's gentle and affirming guidance I was finally able to make myself vulnerable enough to feel my emotions and work through them. Her process put me in control, with tremendous support from her along the way. IFS therapy with Rina was a breakthrough for me. Her excellent therapeutic skills and compassionate nature made our sessions something I actually looked forward to.

The care is real and so are the skills to help.

Hetty is thoughtful and instills a sense of calm. She has a knack for getting to the issues under the emotions while
acknowledging the difficulty of those emotions. I feel as though she really cares for my well being and is not only listening to what I say but she really hears me. 
— Melanie, Washington, DC

Understood, heard and challenged -- and never judged.

Hetty has consistently helped me in articulating what was swirling around inside -- helping me bring it to my consciousness and understand myself. I have grown in identifying my emotions and reactions so that I can accept and embrace them, rather than try to dismiss or change them. It's been very freeing.
— Jessica, Greenbelt, MD

Humor, honesty and practicality.

Hetty offers a rare blend of compassion and practicality. I value her compassion for my feelings and focus on practical tools to
overcome life’s challenges in small steps. I love that she looks further afield to literature, media and art to provide opportunities for inspiration and reflection.

Hetty’s philosophy “if you could think your way through your problems, you wouldn’t be here” has been enormously helpful. By helping me to understand how certain thought patterns feel, rather than only thinking about them, I have been able to confront deeply rooted emotional triggers differently and break their hold over me. It took awhile to become open to this exercise, but now I am much more aware of my mood through a mind-body connection. I greatly prefer this holistic, sustainable and compassionate approach over cognitive-based therapies.

A willingness to explore and take my spirituality seriously.

Kyle is very unique in his vision for both IFS and racial equity work. Kyle is one of my go-to colleagues for my own reflection, introspection, and questions. I trust his clinical insights.

— Jessica Cates-Bristol, LICSW

Kyle is really skilled in IFS and is passionate and motivated to bring that modality into his work. Kyle is a really nice person, and easy to connect with. Accountable. Open. I highly recommend him.

Approached patients with compassion and curiosity

Working with Julia was an absolute pleasure. She approached patients with compassion and curiosity, creating space for them to explore extremely complex and painful issues within a safe setting.  Her warm nature, commitment to excellent work, attention to detail and passion for learning were all extremely valuable to her patients and to us as a team.

Profoundly impactful on my personal and business life.

Hetty's approach has been profoundly impactful on my personal and business life. Therapy with Hetty has sharpened my self awareness and provided me with the tools to control my reactivity to myself and others.  Her non-traditional approach to therapy has been a helpful guide on my path to personal growth and evolution.  There is something "right" with you to enlist help of skilled professionals, like Hetty, to help you be your best self. 

— Brian, Rockville, MD

A willingness to explore and take my spirituality seriously.

I am blessed to have found Hetty as a therapist. I have been to a lot of therapists, and Hetty has offered therapeutic services that I have not found elsewhere. She walked me through a technique for visualizing my emotions that I had never been exposed to before, which was a huge breakthrough in processing painful experiences from my past. Also, as a Christian, her willingness to explore and take my spirituality seriously has contributed greatly to my healing.
