“We repeat what we don’t repair.”

Welcome to Mind Matters Counseling. We are glad you are here today.

Mind Matters Counseling History

With a storied commitment to serving Montgomery County's minority communities, Stefanny Sarich, LCSW-C, LICSW, founded Mind Matters Counseling, LLC in July 2023. Drawing from her experience in multicultural mental health practices, Sarich developed bilingual methodologies to address the needs of both the English and Spanish-speaking populations.

Our Approach

Mind Matters Counseling, LLC serves adolescents, adults, and families. Our approach to therapy is compassionate, client-centered, and collaborative. We adhere to a trauma-responsive, gender-affirming, and social justice-oriented approach. Therapy allows you to develop insight and acceptance while making significant life changes, learning new coping skills, and working toward desired goals. We utilize an evidence-based therapy approach while tailoring the treatment to each individual’s unique needs.

Hola! My Name is Stefanny (She,Her,Ella)

WELCOME! BIENVENIDOS! I am the founder of Mind Matters Counseling and a bilingual licensed clinical social worker offering virtual services in Maryland and Washington, D.C.

I work with adolescents, parents, and young adults. I work with those navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, stressors, and trauma. I incorporate evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), leaning on a person-centered lens and a trauma-focused approach.

I strongly believe in the importance of building a trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients. Therapy is a collaborative experience, and I often focus on empowering you to develop coping skills and gain insights into your own experiences and what you need from therapy.

I may have gone to school for this, but I firmly believe you are the expert on your life, experiences, and feelings. I bring warmth, humor, and curiosity to our sessions. I aim to create a nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe, validated, and supported in their journey toward personal growth and the life they want. There's such a beautiful power in that!

Together, we form a team, working together to understand and navigate life's challenges effectively. You can count on me to show up to each session with an authentic and genuine openness for what you’re experiencing that day. I aim to build a healthy therapeutic relationship with you to get to know you for who you are as a unique individual. 

Why Therapy?

Imagine waking up and looking forward to your day - even to your life. While times may be difficult with depression, anxiety, or trauma interfering with your quality of life, therapy can help you create change in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that can dramatically improve your day-to-day satisfaction and relationships. Don't wait any longer to have the happiness and peace of mind you deserve.

The road to mental wellness is a tricky one, filled with twists and turns. Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma can cause the bravest and wisest to find themselves lost. It's a road we travel alone - but it doesn't have to be.

Let’s walk together and find the path to the best version of yourself.
