      <image:title>About Alex Berthe - BIO</image:title>
      <image:caption>Alex completed his B.A. from Columbia University in 2003. While there he was a four-year member of the Lion's division I men's varsity soccer team. Upon graduating, he gained invaluable experience in the nonprofit world directing supplemental education and character building programs to youth from underserved communities in the DC metro area. It remains one of the greatest experiences of his life. Alex returned to school in 2009 and earned his MSW from the Catholic University of America in 2011. Post-grad school, he taught and counseled at several all-boy independent schools in the DC Metro area, as well as provided individual and group psychotherapy with various Bethesda-based private practice groups before starting his own practice. Continued education is a high priority for Alex. He has completed the following training programs: Child and Adolescent Training Program at the Washington School of Psychiatry; National Group Psychotherapy Institute Program at the Washington School of Psychiatry; Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy through the Cognitive Behavior Training Institute; Fellow at the Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis' Fellowship Program; and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills through Moonshine Consulting as well as through Behavioral Tech.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Group Therapy - Why a group?</image:title>
      <image:caption>We offer group experiences for adults, athletes, and kids — each designed for a different need, but all built on the same principle: that meaningful change happens through practice, not just understanding. Whether it's strengthening how you relate to others, building mental toughness in competition, or helping a child feel more confident with peers — our groups provide a structured space to do the work that individual therapy alone can't always reach.</image:caption>

      <image:title>TEEN-AGING - TEEN-AGING</image:title>
      <image:caption>Are you a high school junior or senior feeling concerned about relationships? Are you anxious about college and the future? Feeling kind of "blah" from time to time and not sure why or what to do? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to feel like it. TEEN-AGING is a coed group that aims to bring together teens who feel just like you do in order to help them use their strengths and the support of their peers to work on relationships issues, anxiety, depression, stress, concerns about the future, and more. Group therapy works. Check it out.</image:caption>
