My name is Laura Brand-Ballard, and I would like to welcome you to Thrive Counseling.  My goal is to create a comfortable, safe, and supportive place where you can consider anything that prevents you from thriving, whether bad habits, illnesses, relationship troubles, or traumatic events.  Together we will explore solutions to these challenges, so you can live and love with energy and enthusiasm.

      I am licensed in Virginia and Maryland as a mental health social worker, or psychotherapist (LCSW and LCSW-C).  I work with adults, adolescents, and couples.  This website is intended as a general introduction to Thrive Counseling, but if you have any questions, please call me at (703) 578-0030.
