I am the medical director of my esteemed private practice,e LifeTouch Family Clinic in Lanham, Maryland.

LifeTouch offers a wide range of specialized services aimed at promoting wellness to individuals struggling with mental health disorders. LifeTouch prides itself on its great customer service to diverse clients of all ages.

First session

During the first session, I take the time to get to know my clients and their unique situations. I ask questions about their mental health history, symptoms, and any other factors that could impact their well-being. This comprehensive assessment helps me gain a clear understanding of their concerns and develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their individual needs. I also take the opportunity to discuss different treatment modalities and resources that may be helpful for their specific situation. This includes discussing various therapy options, medication management, lifestyle changes, and community resources that can provide support.

Strengths

I consider empathy and active listening to be my greatest strengths. Active listening helps create a therapeutic environment that promotes trust and improves patient outcomes. I always listen attentively, communicate effectively, positively, and politely, and keep an open mind.

Ideal clients

I enjoy helping clients with anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar, PTSD/Trauma, OCD, ADHD/ADD, substance use, and sleep disorders.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use CBT to teach my clients that having control over one's thoughts, feelings, and actions is possible. CBT uses practical strategies to change or modify behavior.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational interviewing (MI) is a focused, goal-directed technique to help clients explore and resolve their ambivalence about behavior change. I employ the five principles of M; acceptance, awareness of consequences, resistance, momentum, and belief that change is possible.

She is by far my favorite doctor I have. She’s very warm and very intelligent. Dr. Bella has a wonderful bedside manner, makes you feel like you can talk about anything to her. She makes you feel like anything you need to talk about is valuable. I especially love that she knows how to crack a smile if you make a joke or say something silly. Dr.Bella is the kind of doctor that you wish you could see every week.

Dr. Bella was amazing for my first time experience. I was nervous about this being my first appointment but she made me very comfortable with voicing my concerns about my mental health. She was attentive and solution oriented. I look forward to trying the treatment provided and seeing the progress.
