Therapists in Fairfax, VA

Has our current health climate inspired you to make a change? Spiritual direction is the process of exploring a deeper relationship with the spiritual aspect of being human, and any aspect of your unique, personal, and sacred spirituality. For some, this includes exploring your relationship with the divine, deepening your spiritual identity, or building spiritual practices. For others, it includes exploring spiritual beliefs or values and the degree to which these fit with your personhood. It can involve asking questions, sharing joy, fears, or struggles, getting ‘unstuck’, or creating change in an informed and intentional way.

Hello! My name is Newzaira, which translates to someone who sees's the good in others. Do you feel that at times you struggle with finding a deeper meaning in life? Or that little things can trigger a large emotional response? Is it hard to draw kindness to your experiences and others around you?

My clients are searching for meaning and a sense of wholeness in their lives, sometimes in the midst of crisis, sometimes traveling through times of normative change. Although I am an ordained Presbyterian minister and consider my work a ministry of counseling, I value the diversity of our community and seek to meet people wherever they identify themselves to be and honor their unique stories, beliefs and perspectives.

I've been a licensed clinical psychologist since 1994, and have counseled people with a wide range of life challenges, including: anxiety, stress, depression, self-image, men's issues, having a family member with special needs, spirituality, and major life transitions. I employ an individualized blend of therapeutic skills, to explore your life challenge through compassionate listening and meaningful interaction, with the goal towards deeper understanding which guides effective action planning and follow-through.

With the right clinician, therapy can change your life in powerful and lasting ways. I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic illness, chronic pain, self esteem, spirituality, stress, trauma and PTSD, and women's issues. Whether you are facing prolonged challenges, a current crisis, or simply feeling like something is "off," my goal is to help facilitate a deeper understanding of yourself, and ultimately a greater sense of well-being and peace. I hold safety, trust, and respect as pivotal elements of effective therapy, and approach each client as a unique individual with distinct strengths and needs.

Together will create a therapeutic space for you and your partner(s) to break through insecurities and establish healthy boundaries that allow you to break free of patterns and beliefs that kept you and your relationships stuck. Understanding how your family of origin and previous relationship impact how you are showing up in your current relationships. Exploring how cultural/religious attitudes shape your relationship with your body, impacting your sexual desire and responsiveness for connection. Together, we will identify healthy ways to shift learned behaviors that block you from growing and having relationships and sexual.

People often seek counseling or psychotherapy to change and to resolve difficulties or problems. Seeking consultation is personal and it takes some courage to initiate contact. Sometimes the impetus comes from within; sometimes your circumstances or others close to you provide a nudge. Finding the 'right' therapist for you may take some exploration. Some people simply seek to talk privately about a subject or an issue. This may involve one's direction in life, career, management role, or decision-making. Some people seek to address deeply personal thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, spirituality, or other concerns.

Sometimes the process of finding a therapist can be a challenge. If you are on this journey, I am here to listen your unique experiences and help you cope with mental health challenges by providing you with a holistic therapeutic experience and by showing empathy to see your world like how you see it. I believe that being accepting, non-judgmental, understanding, and listening are few of the most important skills as a therapist.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in the growth and development of my clients. Within the therapeutic relationship, my clients can expect to be heard, supported, and encouraged as they work through their struggles to help them move forward. I have experience with all ages – children, adolescents, and adults. As a counselor, I provide services for individual, groups, and families.

Hello, and thank you for considering me as your therapist. My areas of expertise include working with individuals of all ages struggling with behavioral and emotional issues, including anger management, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. Additionally, I have experience working with clients struggling with spiritual issues and those with family members with emotional struggles. I am also qualified to provide clinical supervision (VA & MD) to intern counselors, helping them develop their skills and knowledge to become effective therapists. I am also pleased to offer therapy sessions in Korean as well.

Are you ready to take ownership over your healing from past hurts? Feel willing to work towards change to create the life you want? I enjoy working with teens and adults who are ready and willing to work towards change, who take the lead in the healing process and recognize that I, as a therapist, can provide tools, but they must do the hard work of using these tools if they want to grow and to heal. It is rewarding to teach clients skills to help them manage their emotions in difficult times, and to help clients figure out which skills are most effective for them. I work with individual clients as well as families and couples.

Have you been feeling stuck? Anxious? Maybe you have been feeling a little down or out of sorts. Has there been less interest in the things you enjoy? Or maybe you have been a bit overwhelmed or irritable and feeling disconnected. I am here to help by using a compassionate, open-minded approach to provide you with the assistance and support you need to help with depression, anxiety, stress and life events. I understand the value of having a healthy body, a clear mind, and a strong spirit.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in VA who believes that each of us has inner strength to help us cope with life’s struggles. My passion for working with others has been life long and my desire to help others is my greatest gift. I am passionate about helping those who are struggling with addictions, couples and/or spouses whose relationships have been affected by infidelity, and those who have gone through or are going through the process of separation and/or divorce. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients begin the recovery process to repair their marriages or learn to live healthy lives as separate individuals.

I help teenagers, college students, and adults discover their values, get "unstuck," and pursue meaningful pathways for their lives, while overcoming harmful habits, behaviors, and patterns of thinking that may impede their progress.

I know what it is like to encounter what seem to be insurmountable obstacles. To feel stuck, alone, and struggling to hold onto the hope there is a pathway forward. To be so wracked by pain, anxiety, grief, anger, guilt, and shame that it can be hard to breathe. Let me help.

Seek counseling is a sign of inner strength and a desire to be a better person. No matter what the reason you will feel better once you meet with me, a non-judgmental therapist. As a Clinical Social Worker and therapist I am part of a profession that is well known for helping others cope with the passages of life and meeting you where you are. All races, genders and orientations are welcome here. I will walk with you to help you overcome your challenges and assist your growth into loving kindness for yourself and others.

As a Biblical Counselor, my goal is to help bridge the gap between the suffering of life's circumstances and the goodness, love, majesty, and sovereignty of God. I am passionate about helping others focus on setting goals, creating positive outcomes, and managing personal growth in their own lives. I enjoy incorporating God’s Word to enable change to seep through the lives of others by reading, meditating, seeking prayer, and pursuing Biblical truth persevering in whatever circumstances or season of life you might be in.
