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
Online Therapy Services for DC, Maryland and Virginia Residents
Maternal Wellbeing: Pregnancy & Postpartum
Perinatal mental health focuses on supporting parents throughout the entirety of their fertility journey. The experience of becoming a parent can include challenges with fertility, pregnancy and postpartum. This time can be filled with a wide range of emotions, uncertainties and pressures.
Therapy For Parents & Parent Coaching
Becoming a parent can be filled with so many overwhelming emotions. It is hard to fully grasp the changes and shifts in identity that occur after you become a parent. It can feel challenging to not have a sense of control over what you are experiencing and to have so many hopes and expectations before you take on your new role.
Therapy For Adolescents, College Age & Adults
No matter what stage of life you are in, outside stressors can creep in. Maybe you are transitioning into young adulthood and managing the stress of figuring out college or a new career path. These transitions can bring about stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health concerns.
Mental Health Consultation For School-Based Support
As clinicians with extensive experience working within the education system we can support your family in ensuring your child’s needs are met at school. We can offer consultation sessions or a consultation package depending on the level of need.

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.

We believe in the healing power of nature and the sense of grounding and attunement to our inner voice that comes when we are connected to our natural environment.
