My wife and I were lucky to find Elizabeth (Libby) Stevens when we began couples counseling. She is a tremendous marriage counselor who is really very insightful. On top of that, she is incredibly approachable and very easy to talk to. Thank you Libby!

Dr. Libby Stevens was amazing to work with. She always met me with compassion and understanding, and helped me tackle some difficult issues by providing direct feedback and exercises, which really helped add structure to my treatment path. Her suggestions and insight demonstrated a solid and up-to-date knowledge-base of the issues I was working on with her.
Communication/logistics with her was very easy as well, as she was easily reachable through email, text, or the secure patient portal app that we used. We always did our appointments virtually through video conference, which made things much more convenient, given my work schedule. However, she also had the option for in-person appointments in her Reston office, if I ever preferred that.
Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Stevens and WMC, as I feel that this was my most positive and productive experience with personal therapy.
