Meet Our Administrative Team
When you call or email Bethesda Counseling Services, these are the friendly people helping you get started, answering questions, and making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
We thought it would be fun to share a few things about ourselves.
Jess, Practice Manager
What do you enjoy most about working at BCS?
The people! There’s a real thoughtfulness around supporting both clients and clinicians, which I appreciate. I love building structures that make things feel clearer, calmer, and more supportive, and doing that work alongside a team that truly cares about the people behind the work.
If you weren’t doing this work, what might you be doing?
Growing up, I had big dreams of being a professional wrestler. I might just give that a go (even though I stopped growing in the 7th grade).
Favorite comfort food?
Chinese takeout
Coffee or tea?
Coffee is a necessity, tea is a treat ;)
A small thing that makes your day better?
The sun being out!
Kyle, Intake & Billing Coordinator
What do you enjoy most about your role?
That I get to be part of such an amazing team / environment.
If you weren’t working in this field, what would you be doing?
Probably working for a bank or accounting firm, though I can’t imagine myself in any other field.
Favorite weekend activity?
Dancing, reading, or snowboarding during the colder months.
Coffee or tea?
Energy Drinks
One thing you want new clients to know?
That I am here to support them during the process as best as I can
Julia – Founder & Clinical Director
What inspired you to start Bethesda Counseling Services?
When I became a mom, I wanted to continue doing the work I love while also building a meaningful life at home. Starting BCS allowed me to create both, a nurturing space for my own family and a supportive, thoughtful environment where clients feel deeply cared for by a wonderful team of clinicians.
What helps you recharge outside of work?
Reading, exercising, traveling, and enjoying long, unrushed meals with friends and family. I recharge best through connection, movement, and meaningful conversations.
Favorite comfort food?
A good Spanish cocido. It feels like home in a bowl and it truly cures all stress.
Coffee or tea?
Coffee. Always.
What makes you most proud of BCS?
The kindness, integrity, and dedication of our team. We’ve built more than a practice, we’ve built a community where clinicians genuinely support one another and where clients feel seen and cared for.
