Female Therapists in Washington, DC
Sometimes it feels like there is too much going on and you are not sure what to do. Therapy can be the first step to feeling better, offering a space to explore the feelings, thoughts and emotions that arise. Some people come to work through past events, others come to help manage the stress of daily life or interactions. I work with teens and adults who are navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, and difficulties with self-esteem or emotional regulation.

My approach to therapy involves empowering persons to better understand themselves and acquire the tools to heal and make desired life changes. I utilize a combination of cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic therapeutic orientations in my practice. Consistent with an emphasis on empowerment is my wholistic focus on total well being. I promote balance across all personal dimensions (spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, and social).
My life coaching practice draws from a similar wealth of psychological knowledge, however, with more of an educational emphasis. I facilitate the acquisition of problem solving and success orientation skills, aimed at enhancing personal empowerment and life satisfaction.

Therapy can be a place where you feel safe enough to be yourself, process what's weighing on you, and begin moving toward healing at a pace that feels right for you.

I am a board-certified psychotherapist providing integrative, psychodynamic individual and couples therapy. I often see young adults, professionals, and parents who experience anxiety, depression, guilt, shame, codependency, infidelity, lack of fulfillment, are adult children of alcoholics or emotionally immature parents, are recovering from trauma, dealing with relationship difficulties, struggle with self-esteem, or are adjusting to life transitions including parenthood or career changes.

My work centers on collaboration with those seeking holistic support alongside therapy. I work with individuals seeking to reconnect with their bodies after experiencing overwhelming stress or uncertainty about how to make sustainable life changes. We'll work together to feel stronger, more grounded, and in control of your wellness, not just mentally, but physically and emotionally. We'll create a plan to move toward balance, inclusive of your whole self, not just your symptoms.

I approach therapy in a direct yet compassionate manner believing that long-term sustained change can only happen when growth occurs on the inside and flows outward. My goal is to help my clients walk their own individual path from self-judgment to self-transformation. I use a cognitive behavioral approach which guides you to understand how your thoughts/beliefs, feelings, and behaviors work together to determine your life experiences. Together, we will identify self-destructive patterns that stop you from getting what you want in life and replace them with constructive and goal-achieving ways of thinking and behaving.

I have been working in community mental health and private practice since 2015. Clients who have found working with me helpful include trauma survivors, those suffering from symptoms related to mood and anxiety disorders, and those dealing with stress in romantic and family relationships. My therapy style has been influenced by my experience and training in mindfulness, emotion-focused, and acceptance-based models. I believe that for change and healing to occur, we have to get comfortable in the uncomfortable by accessing our true feelings and emotions.

Healing often happens when we move beyond "knowing" and begin "feeling."
Many people I work with share that, from the outside, they may appear to have it all together. Yet inside, there might be a persistent feeling of inadequacy or a critical voice saying that you aren’t quite "enough." You may have even tried therapy before and walked away with a helpful intellectual understanding of your past, while still feeling as though your daily life and emotional reactions haven't fully shifted.

Hi, I’m Zehra! I’m so glad we crossed paths. I’m a first-generation Pakistani-American therapist who has lived in Washington, DC for over a decade, and I also offer telehealth therapy to clients in VA. I became a therapist after navigating my own early experiences with anxiety, depression, and hypervigilance; I wish someone had told me then that all of these responses were normal.
If you’re here, you’ve already taken a brave step. In a city where anxiety, burnout, and over-functioning can be unconsciously rewarded by our networks, it makes sense if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself. You’re not alone!
