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.

S.B.
Fairfax, VA

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

Had my first in take session today with my new therapist Lana Barmawi. Felt great opening up to someone willing to critically view all equal parts of your identity. She’s engaged and challenges you to stay engaged as well. Looking forward to our session.

I can’t say enough great things about Renew of the Mind. I’ve been working with Naglaa for close to a year now and she has been the key to my battle with anxiety. She is kind, professional, and knowledgeable. I had seen a handful of other providers who I didn’t match well with before I finally found Naglaa. She always makes me feel heard and is gentle but also is able to push me to better myself and my healing journey. She has been such an encouraging factor in the success of my mental health. I always recommend Renew of the Mind to anyone looking for a new therapist.

We are incredibly grateful for the support and care David Mostafa has provided to our son. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to build a genuine connection, making our teenage son feel comfortable, understood, and supported. His ability to engage and relate made a meaningful difference in our son’s experience and progress. David was also consistently flexible with scheduling, which made a huge difference for our family and showed his dedication to meeting our needs. His professionalism, compassion, and commitment truly set him apart. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist who truly cares and invests in their clients.

I worked with David Mostafa and he was wonderful. He was very kind, understanding, and he explained things in a way that was welcoming of my views while still inviting reflection. His wholistic approach broadened my perspective on self care. I couldn't have been happier with the sessions.

My experience with this practice has been wonderful. I have been working with Kelly for the past couple of years doing EMDR therapy, and it has been incredibly helpful and supportive for my healing. She is a compassionate, thoughtful provider and a very skilled counselor who creates a safe and supportive environment. The staff has also been consistently helpful and professional, especially with insurance matters. Over the past two years, I have not had any issues, and they have always been responsive and supportive. I truly appreciate the care and professionalism of everyone at this practice.
