Dara Goldberg, LCSW-C

Welcome! Life throws many challenges in our direction, and sometimes we need help to try and master these challenges. Every person deserves the opportunity to feel successful and happy. Reaching out to a therapist can be a difficult decision and a brave choice. In my practice, I work with my clients to build upon strengths that already exist to help you gain the skills to reach your fullest potential. I would like to help you have the opportunity to create meaningful change in your daily lives

Throughout my training, I have gained the skills and knowledge to help you work towards achieving your personal goals and feeling better. My hope is that in my practice, clients' feel safe and comfortable to be their "true" self where we can work on goals and track progress together. I specialize in working with individuals and families who are struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, divorce, and every day stresses. I have completed a training program which has certified me as a Child & Adolescent Trauma Professional.

I draw on a variety of therapeutic techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, strengths based therapy, play therapy, and family therapy as well as professional clinical experience to help the client identify changes they want to make in their life and work towards ways to achieve their goals.

My office is located in downtown Bethesda, about four blocks from the Bethesda metro. I currently see clients in person and through telehealth. My areas of practice are listed below.
