Safoura Moraveji, LCSW-C, is a licensed psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience helping adults in Maryland and Washington, DC. She has extensive postgraduate training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and Gestalt therapy. Safoura integrates spirituality with evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In 2016, she experienced the profound loss of her siblings and parents, which deepened her empathy, insight, and commitment to guiding clients through grief, trauma, life transitions, anxiety, and depression.
In addition to her professional experience as a psychotherapist, Safoura is a devout Buddhist nun who incorporates daily mindfulness into her life and work. She creates highly individualized and comprehensive intervention plans that integrate evidenced based with holistic interventions to address wide variety of mental health needs.
Compassion alone is not enough, nor is knowledge on its own. It’s through the integration of life experience, knowledge, and compassion that we begin to live with courage and meaning. My intention is to support you in bringing these elements together—so you can fully and joyfully engage with your life.

During our first session you will have the opportunity to share your life story and highlight what is most important for you. Together we will develop an action plan and a diagnosis. Our subsequent sessions will focus more on what is right and good in your life as opposed to symptoms or problems. I will help you weave in meditation, compassion, and kindness into your mind stream.
