Getting to know Bethany Fitzsimmons
Hi! I am Bethany Fitzsimmons, LCSW-C. I specialize in helping individuals achieve relief from depression and anxiety, relational challenges, trauma, attachment and parenting concerns. I also have additional interests and skills in the special issues involving foster-care and adoption support. Working with individuals and families, I utilize evidence-based interventions to help clients create change quickly, and can integrate several techniques to customize a treatment experience just for you. I am certified in both EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma treatment and TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention).
What should a new client know about working with you?
As your therapist I strive to provide a space where you feel comfortable exploring all parts of life, from everyday stressors to life's most difficult experiences. I work by finding the balance between providing compassion, validation and empathy while gently challenging when necessary to help you progress towards your goals. I look forward to meeting you!
What is your typical process for working with clients?
We will take the first few sessions to explore your current needs and stressors, as well as your history, identity, and hopes and goals. This helps me get to know you holistically so we can collaborate on developing a treatment strategy specific to you. It also helps you get to know my skills and style so we can work together to bring healing to your life.

More information on payments and coverage
Our practice, Tau Counseling Services of Maryland, uses an EMR and insurance claims/billing service called Headway. When you schedule with me, you agree to allow us to register you for a client portal on Headway so that we can bill your insurance after each session.
Within 24 hours of scheduling with me through ZocDoc, you will receive an email inviting you to confirm your client portal on Headway. Here you will be asked to enter a form of payment to cover deductibles and copays.
We will verify that your specific plan covers mental health services or set you up for self-pay. Once that is verified, we will take care of billing your insurance after each session, or, if you are self-pay, we will provide you with a superbill if you are using your out-of-network benefits.
We cannot see anyone with Medicare, Medicare Advantage or Medicaid at this time.
We are OUT-OF-NETWORK with the BCBS FEDERAL EMPLOYEE PLAN.
