Deborah A Newmark LCSW

After searching for a marriage counselor for months and calling 6 different therapists, I was referred to Deborah Newmark (LCSW, MSW, 4501 Conn. Ave, (202) 338‑1086). My wife was unable to make our first session, so I went alone. During this session I described for her my difficulty in convincing my wife that we needed therapy, and how difficult it was to get her to agree to counseling and find a time that she was willing to meet. We scheduled a session for the next week. I talked to my wife about how important the next session was and she promised to go. A few days after I told her all this and more, she cancelled our appointment because she decided that time «didn’t work for her». Now we are back at square one. For this and other reasons, I would not recommend this therapist to anyone, and I will personally never see anyone in the United Health Care network again.
