Noelle Gunzburg, LCSW-C
Columbia, MD
With 23 years of clinical experience I can say with confidence – communication is key! When couples enter my office, they can expect an open and engaging environment. I balance delivering direct observations with a kind approach, usually with a bit of humor sprinkled in. Improvement requires self reflection and motivation for change from both partners. I’ll help facilitate these conversations, creating a safe and open space to share. I am particularly skilled in working with first responders, military personnel and those who have experienced trauma.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right marriage counselor?
While all our of counselors have years of experience specializing in couples therapy and all the challenges and unique situations that it encompasses, we understand it can feel overwhelming choosing the right therapist. That’s why we offer free 15-minute phone consults so you can start sessions with confidence. Reach out to our intake coordinator today to schedule yours.
How long are couples therapy sessions?
The first appointment (your intake session) is an extended 90 minutes. All following sessions are 50 minutes long. After your intake appointment each of you will have an individual session with your counselor. From there you may have more individual appointments but you will typically attend as a couple.
Do you offer both in-person and virtual appointments?
Yes! We want to ensure that scheduling sessions is as easy and stress-free as possible. You can attend sessions in-office, virtually or opt for a hybrid schedule.
