Lisa Ghali, LCSW
Rockville, MD | Bethesda, MD
I approach relationship therapy believing that most partners want the same things, to feel seen, heard, and understood. Over time, communication patterns can break down and I help couples identify these cycles and explore new ways of connecting. My style is open, curious and collaborative, creating a safe space for partners to share their perspectives and begin understanding what’s happening beneath the surface. Conflict doesn’t mean something is broken, it can be a doorway to healing, growth, and deeper connection.
