Thrive Therapy Maryland

Bethann Mwombela, LGPC

Hello – I am so grateful that you are here! My name is Bethann, and I want to first say congratulations on making this first step. In many ways, society has started to more fully recognize and embrace the importance of mental health, but there can still be a lot of stigma and shame, especially in BIPOC communities. I enter each therapy session grounded in the reality of systemic injustice, honoring your story and resilience for choosing to work on yourself despite what may be fighting against you. I am a licensed therapist at Thrive Therapy Maryland, working with youth and adults

facing challenges related to self-esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, and life transitions. I utilize a person-centered, multicultural approach that prioritizes the client’s unique strengths and needs in my integration of multiple therapy interventions. 

The counseling modalities that I apply include mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), existential therapy, narrative therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I invite you to bring your whole self to sessions, knowing that this time and space is truly yours as we uncover beliefs and patterns of thinking and behavior that may be holding you back. Based on my own experience as a client, I also recognize the value of not just gaining new insights and perspective but also leaving sessions with practical skills and tools to use throughout each week. If you are ready to start this journey with me, I would love to hear from you!
