We are a private practice that provides supportive in-person and virtual therapy for individuals and families in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia with a specialization in maternal wellbeing.
Reaching out to take care of yourself is a huge step and finding yourself here is the perfect place to start.
Welcome
At Bluestone we begin with open-mindedness, insight, compassion and humor in order to support the trust needed within the therapeutic relationship. Our approach is trauma-informed, mindfulness-based, culturally-inclusive and welcomes and affirms all identities.
We work with clients experiencing a variety of challenges including: anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, work stress & burnout and trauma. We specialize in the spectrum of maternal wellbeing with fertility challenges, pregnancy and postpartum mental health, loss, trauma and the ups and downs of parenting.
We utilize traditional psychotherapy with a combination of other techniques to empower clients to recognize their innate ability to understand their strengths and support them in the positive change they are hoping to achieve. We are therapists and Moms who know what it’s like to be in therapy and need additional support. Through therapy our clients find that they are better able to manage the stress they are experiencing no matter where they are in their journey.
HOW WE HELP
In Person & Online Therapy Services for DC, Maryland and Virginia Residents
Fertility Counseling
Worries about fertility can take over your life, leaving you drained and unsure where to turn. Even if you're afraid to ask for help, fertility counseling offers a safe space to process your pain, find clarity, and feel less alone on your journey.
Postpartum Therapy
Pregnancy and childbirth are already exhausting, and the time after having a child introduces radically different lifestyle changes that can feel like a total whirlwind. You might wonder if postpartum therapy can help you find balance, peace, and a restored sense of self.
Parenting Counseling
Becoming a parent can stir up emotions you weren’t expecting and shake your sense of identity. If you feel isolated in your experience, therapy can help you reconnect—with yourself, your child, and the kind of parent you want to be.
Therapy For Pregnancy
Parenthood can bring a flood of questions—about your identity, your relationship, and how you’ll manage it all. If you're feeling lost or overwhelmed, therapy during pregnancy or postpartum can help you find clarity and support along the way.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma can disrupt your daily life, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and unsure if healing is even possible. You may wonder if therapy can help you break free from this pain and reclaim the sense of safety and peace you once knew.
Therapy for Adolescents & College Age
Navigating your teens and early adulthood can feel overwhelming. If you're feeling anxious, stuck, or unsure of your path, you're not alone—and you don't have to go through it without support.
School-Based Mental Health Consultation
It’s incredibly hard to watch your child struggle at school—especially when you’ve asked for help and still feel unheard. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by IEPs, behavioral reports, or just trying to understand what your child needs, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself.

From Our Founder
Ali Weisbrot, LICSW, LCSW, LCSW-C
Welcome, I’m so glad that you are here. Life can feel overwhelming and stressful. Whatever your reason for finding us, you don’t have to take this journey alone. As women we often feel shame or guilt in our experiences with pregnancy, postpartum and parenting and here at Bluestone Counseling Group, we hope to create a safe space to be your authentic self and express all of the things that feel hard or scary to say. We offer virtual therapy as we know how busy life can be and how refreshing it is to find a sense of healing from the comfort of your home.
I founded Bluestone Counseling Group with the belief that we all need a village to thrive, and we hope that you will allow us to be a part of yours.
