Carolyn Bell, LPC, MBA, NCC

I support individuals, couples and adult family members across multiple areas enabling deeper, more connected relationships. I specialize in recovery from trauma and grief as well as intensives and financial therapy.

Do you seek deeper attachment? I collaborate with couples and individuals to increase your inner awareness of self to share with others. I help clients process life-changing events including job growth and relocation, loss and grief, chronic health diagnoses, and adoption. I offer support for couples who want to strengthen their relationships and resolve issues hindering emotional and sexual intimacy. Where appropriate, I offer intensive therapy to bring clarity and begin the healing process of life experiences. I'm licensed in DC/MD/VA. My diverse background includes working in Silicon Valley, Wall Street and Main Street.
My approach to couples therapy is based on EFT, Imago and Gottman Relationship Therapy. I’m experienced working with hetero, non-hetero, multicultural and LGBTQ couples helping them explore monogamous and CNM relationships and intimacy. I work with individuals balancing family, career, relationships, community, and self-care to improve well-being.
I offer Finance and Wealth Therapy which can help you better understand money lessons you learned in childhood and how they may be showing up in your adult lives especially as wealth changes. By destigmatizing discussions around money, individuals/couples can gain clarity about how each person prioritizes financial decisions and proceed with less conflict.
