About Dr. Bello
If you’re looking for: someone direct, laidback, who acknowledges that she is also human; someone who challenges you to think about things in a different way; and who uses evidence-based strategies to guide you to changed behaviors, then we will work well together.
Background
I’m a licensed psychologist with over 10 years of experience working with both children and adults. I earned my Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, and hold both my undergraduate and master’s degrees from Loyola University Maryland.
I completed my post-doctoral fellowship at the Capital Institute for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in Washington, DC, where I received advanced training in CBT and specialized in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD. I also have training in gender-affirming care from The Fenway Institute, a national leader in LGBTQIA+ healthcare.
My approach is centered on helping my clients make real progress. My therapy techniques are based in research, and I often share a lot of that research with you to help with motivation (knowledge is power and the more proof we have that things work, the more likely we are to try them). Outside of my work, I enjoy spending time with my family, catching up on my favorite HGTV shows, and playing with my dog, Jax.
