This is a wonderful safe space to heal, I would not trust anyone other than Naglaa to guide me in the right direction. I'm finally feeling balanced in my life.

A.H
Fairfax, VA

Naglaa is my therapist. I have known her for over a year now. She is kind, caring, funny and truly will do what it takes in the healing process. I am not easy but that has not stopped her from trying to earn my trust and keep it. I am so grateful for everyone in the practice. They are no longer just a therapist but friends and family away from home.

I’ve been seeing Naglaa for the past year, since my anxiety started getting out of control. The whole practice has been so supportive and constructive.

I could not ask more of a therapy office. Everyone is welcoming. The spaces are quite comfortable. The therapists work with you to provide clear, actionable goals in a very doable timeframe. They provide secure and professional records. This office is the pinnacle of caring and professionalism.

I've been moved around with a few different therapists, but every single one of them are genuinely the sweetest people ever. They actually know what to say and when to say it. They actually give proper advice and ways to help and cope with stuff. After every session I fell way better and get some hope in life. Probably one of the best companies I've ever been to.

Very positive experience with my therapist at the center! Easily the best therapy I’ve received using insurance which can be very hit or miss. I’ve learned a lot about myself but also feel like I’ve received more of an education on essential concepts which has led to greater self awareness.

Experiences Across Different Areas of Care

Sharon Jones has been such a wonderful therapist for me. She brings in so much creativity to our sessions, which works really well for me, as a creative person. She helps me find different ways of looking at situations, and has inspired me to put what we talk about in therapy to practice. I am very grateful for her and all the progress I have had in the last year! As someone studying to be an art therapist, I will be using much of what I have learned from her with future clients and hope to be as impactful as her. ☺️

Couples Therapy

Elizabeth Baker is a warm, compassionate and intuitive therapist with a bright future in psychotherapy. Her quiet voice and caring nature is the perfect fit for our daughter with special needs. Her insight and empathy has helped our shy daughter explore ways to engage others and find joy in activities outside of the family. She uses her therapy skills to help my daughter open up about her insecurities and self esteem issues. We are beyond fortunate to have found her and love that she takes my daughter’s insurance.
