# Therapy in the language your life actually happens _in._

Silver Spring is one of the most linguistically mixed places in Maryland. A large number of households here run on more than one language, and for many people the language of childhood is not the language of work.

That matters clinically. Therapy conducted in a second language asks you to translate what you feel before you can say it, and the nuance thins out on the way.

## Who this is for in Silver Spring

Adults and couples across Silver Spring, Takoma Park, Wheaton and the wider Montgomery County area. Federal workers, international organization staff, healthcare and service workers, and a large first and second generation immigrant population.

Francophone clients from West and Central Africa, the Caribbean, France, Belgium and Canada are a substantial part of the practice.

## Working across two languages

Sessions can run entirely in French, entirely in English, or move between them as the material requires. Many bilingual clients analyze in one language and feel in the other, and that movement is welcomed rather than corrected.

For bilingual families, the gap between the parents' language and the children's is often where the real difficulty sits, and it is treated as a clinical subject in its own right.

A few markers before you get in touch.

## What tends to bring people in

Anxiety, depression, grief at a distance from family abroad, trauma that predates a migration, and the strain of obligations to relatives in another country.

Couples work, including couples who do not share a first language and where one partner has been arguing at a permanent disadvantage for years.

## Practical details

Sessions are held on a secure HIPAA-compliant video platform, and you must be physically in Maryland at the time. Individual sessions are $180, couples $280.

Inquiries are answered within 24 to 48 hours. In an emergency, call or text 988.
