There’s been conflict in your family for some time now, and you’re ready to finally get some professional help with it. Strong personalities within a family can make it very hard to change the system without some objective input from the outside. Family therapy can be a really helpful venue for making the changes everyone […]
Is your relationship struggling, and couples therapy didn’t help? What else can you do about it? One answer is – try couples counseling again. Here’s why.
How often do normal couples have sex? As frequently or infrequently as they want. This question is erroneously based on the idea that there is some number, or even a range, that we have to hit in order to be normal. It ain’t so. A healthy, happy sexual relationship is one in which both parties […]
Our Testimonials
Raffi led an informal group which I attended along with a few classmates from Israel in the summer of 2010. We had just returned to New Jersey from studying in a one- to two-year fellowship abroad. Raffi smoothed our transition back to American life, all while volunteering his time and skills. He is extremely intelligent, insightful, trustworthy and pragmatic. I recommend Raffi without hesitation or reservation. He has a serious goal-focus balanced with a great sense of humor. Raffi is a tremendous, vital person to turn to.

Highly professional but down to earth. Both my husband and I felt completely understood and valued; something couple’s often fear simply cannot be achieved. I’m sure we’ll return we need a “tune-up”!

Danielle Kippur
Caitlin has been a mentor and guiding force for me over the past 10 years. She has spent countless hours listening and sharing her wisdom with me. Despite her very busy schedule, Caitlin has always made herself available to help when needed. Somehow, no matter what else she has going on in her day, when we are speaking I feel like I am her sole focus and priority. Caitlin is a very genuine, very caring person, and has a tremendous amount to offer her clients.
Naomi S.
Raffi Bilek is a phenomenal resource. He actively listens before he speaks, and provides meaningful feedback and direction that clearly reflects my unique situation. His comments are wise, productive, and well thought-out. His humor also helps me feel comfortable and makes him relatable – sometimes it is the spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down. I am indebted to him for his active listening and articulate, wise, and compassionate guidance. Thank you!
Jeremy R.
I cannot speak highly enough of Raffi. In just a couple of sessions, Raffi has already began to successfully impact our marriage. Both my wife and I continue to be impressed with him and our progress each week.
Mark M.
Thank you so much for all of your help and guidance, especially tonight. Both my wife and I were impressed and grateful for your willingness to work with us despite running a significant amount of time over. You are genuine in your demeanor and sincere with your advice. You are patient with us and seem to balance when to listen versus when to overrule us perfectly. Our confidence in you has grown to new heights and the value you offer is truly evident in our everyday lives.

Raffi is so easy to talk to. He makes you see things clearly. I’ve only known him a short time and almost immediately i was able to change things that were bothering me. He keeps conversations light and sometimes funny. He’s a great guy and I recommend him to EVERYONE!
JMP
I’ve worked with Raffi for six years, and from the beginning, he’s been VERY understanding of my unique situation and has been unbelievable helpful in guiding me to where I’ve gotten to, going above and beyond any expectations I had. I honestly can’t thank him enough in this small text box for what he’s done for me, but I’ll try – thank you, Raffi Bilek!
YO
Just wanted to drop you a quick to once again thank you for all your help. I honestly felt Tim and I wouldn’t be able resolve our difficulties. But you offered us a safe space to work on becoming more honest, direct and ultimately heard and valued . . . in such a short time, you worked wonders!

P.S. – Do you recall we were trying to plan a vacation and Tim wondered if we could handle it without an argument? We leave for Greece next week and haven’t had one “ugly moment” since we last left your office. 🙂
Lisa & Tim
Raffi was extremely helpful with the problems I brought to him. He helped me see things clearly and work through my problems. I felt like he really got what I was saying and where l was coming from. I even felt comfortable telling him things I had never told anyone before. He was completely nonjudgmental, which was very important for me. He helped me think about a number of different problems I brought up. but he also referred me to other specialists for problems he didn’t feel comfortable addressing. Overall, I was very grateful for all the help he provided me and I can’t believe how many problems he helped me solve – even ones that l have been dealing with for years!
Dan
Raffi was very welcoming and easy to talk to. My boyfriend and I saw him for several months and found that he was able to relate to each of us and help us to work together and find solutions that we otherwise would not have thought about trying. He was generally able to meet at the times that were best for us and was available evenings which was great to accommodate our busy work schedules. I would definitly reccommend him to any of my friends or family and will likely see him in the future should I encounter any problems that I may need help resolving in my personal life.
Rachel
Raffi is a great person to help you get through your challenges in life. He is attentive , listens, and genuinely cares about his patients. Since I have been going to see him I have become less stressed and am able to control my emotions a bit more than before. I continue to see him and hope to eventually be able to tackle these problems on my own one day. Until than I urge anyone having any issues to contact him and let him lend you a helping ear. Thanks Again Raffi.
COA
I’ve known the people behind the Baltimore Therapy Center for over six years. I’ve found them to be kind, honest, and truly cared about what’s best for me. I’d come in just to visit if I lived nearby.

Chanan Siris
Working with Caitlin for several sessions over the years, I find she is able to validate the areas of my life (my marriage, time management, pregnancy anxiety, child rearing, interpersonal relationships, work/home balance) I wished to improve in my life, offering practical guidance and encouragement that I believed I could excel. I’ve had mostly one-on-one sessions and I have attended workshops on time management and another on strengthening my marriage. Caitlin is very professional–I found her organized, attentive and thorough. She made herself available when I had to reschedule sessions and she would follow up with me on her own time if she knew I was going through a challenging experience. She is one of the most top-quality people I have ever met. I enjoy her personality–she’s to the point yet incorporates much humor. I worked with her mainly when she lived in New Jersey but have reached out to her on occasion now that she is in Maryland because I consider her refreshingly insightful and positive. I would highly recommend working with her.
Amanda Rosner
I met Caitlin about a year and a half ago. I moved into her community when I was newly married. I automatically felt comfortable with her. She has a warm disposition and so friendly. She really made an effort to get to know me. She periodically arranged “ladies night out” for moms and young wives to get to know each other and to have a break from their busy lives and just relax, socialize, and have fun. Caitlin was always eager to share information with me to help me in whatever I needed from yoga, to child rearing, to how to be a better wife and mom. Caitlin shared crucial information in a 2 part series workshop as to how to be a great mom and wife! I always admired her as being such a great multi-tasker juggling work, family life, social life, as well as making time for herself. Catlin is a devoted wife, mom, and friend. She is a growthful person always learning new ways to better herself.
Chavi Shpilsky
Raffi is insightful, intuitive, experienced, and has a sense of humor. I have full faith that anyone who enters into therapy with him will gain a deeper understanding of themselves; his goal is to give you the tools that you need so that you can independently be responsible for changing your life to be better and more fulfilling. When I needed to include a therapist in my Masters thesis, without hesitation I called Raffi and asked him to help out. I would recommend Raffi to a friend or relative without qualm. Also, I have attended some of his workshops, and found them interesting, insightful, and entertaining. I heartily recommend these as well.
Channah C.
I will always be grateful to Raffi for helping me through a very challenging time in my life. Within a few minutes of our first meeting, I was comfortable talking to him. He’s a superb listener. As we continued to meet over the next several months, I continued to grow from our interactions and generally just feel better and more confident. I would highly recommend Raffi to anyone.
