Couples Therapy in Maryland
Online couples care with Dr. Elizabeth Wolfe, plus a waitlist for in-person couples appointments in Bethesda.
Written and clinically reviewed by Vanessa Cushing, LPC, NCC, MS — AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist, licensed in Virginia & Florida. The Cushing Counseling team covers Virginia, DC, Maryland & Florida.
The short answer
Cushing Counseling offers Maryland couples therapy by secure video with Dr. Elizabeth Wolfe, who is accepting new clients. In-person couples care at our Bethesda office is currently waitlisted. Radiance Sanneman sees clients at that office for individual therapy, not couples therapy. Intake helps you choose an eligible clinician and confirms availability before booking.

Ask about an online couples consultation or the Bethesda in-person couples waitlist. You do not both need to join the first call.
In-person couples care in Bethesda: currently waitlisted
Our Bethesda office is at 7700 Old Georgetown Rd Ste 675, Bethesda, MD 20814.
We offer in-person and online care, but they do not have the same availability. In-person couples appointments in Bethesda are currently on a waitlist. Intake confirms the treating clinician, appointment format and fee when an opening becomes available; joining the list is not a promise of an immediate appointment.
Call (703) 544-7081 or email vanessa@cushingcounseling.com to ask about the Bethesda couples waitlist or an online option available sooner.
Compare Maryland couples clinicians, methods and availability
Dr. Elizabeth Wolfe uses Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to work with the attachment and conflict cycle, Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy to address relationship patterns, and ACT where useful. She is a clinical psychologist and certified sex therapist. Her confirmed PSYPACT authorization permits online care in Maryland; it does not mean she sees clients in person at the Bethesda office.
Noelle Harris, LMSW, works under supervision and uses EFT, ACT and the Gottman approach in couples and sex therapy. She is currently keeping a waitlist. Intake confirms the format and location of any future opening; we do not imply she is the assigned Bethesda in-person clinician.
| Clinician | Approach | Availability | Couples fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dr. Elizabeth Wolfe, PsyD | Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT); Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy; Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT); CBT | Accepting new clients · secure video only | $400 per couples session |
| Noelle Harris, LMSW | Emotionally Focused Therapy; ACT Therapy; Gottman Method | Waitlist · intake confirms appointment format | $250 per couples session |
Radiance at our Bethesda office: individual care, not couples
Radiance Sanneman sees clients at our Bethesda office for individual therapy. Her work uses Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment-based and trauma-informed approaches, including support for trauma, anxiety, identity and sexual concerns. She does not provide couples therapy and is not the clinician for the Bethesda couples waitlist.
If you want support for your own experiences alongside relationship work, intake can discuss individual care with Radiance separately from your couples appointments.
What about Jennifer Fuller?
Jennifer is accepting new clients located in Virginia and South Carolina by secure video, using relational, family-systems and attachment-informed approaches. Her Maryland license is still in progress. She is not currently an option for partners attending from Maryland; we will update her availability after that license is confirmed issued.
What you can bring to couples therapy
- Recurring conflict, communication breakdowns and feeling disconnected
- Desire differences, intimacy concerns and sexual difficulties
- Trust and affair recovery, relationship agreements and major life changes
- LGBTQ+ relationships, non-monogamy and concerns you have struggled to raise elsewhere
Choose your next step
For an online couples opening, ask about Dr. Wolfe. For in-person couples care, ask to join the Bethesda waitlist. Tell intake where each partner will physically be during appointments so authorization can be checked, especially if you travel or join from different states.
Cushing Counseling is out-of-network. Ask about a superbill and check your plan's benefits; couples reimbursement is not guaranteed. Intake confirms your clinician's fee before you commit.
