Faria Sharmeen, MA, MSW

Master of Social Work

Hi everyone! I’m Faria, a provider at our Fairfax, VA clinic offering therapy both in-person and via telehealth. I have experience in school-based and community mental health settings and enjoy working with clients of all ages, including adults. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. I use a trauma-informed, strength-based, and solution-focused approach, drawing on CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and play therapy techniques to support each client’s unique needs.

I aim to create a safe, caring space where you can explore your feelings. I work with those navigating anxiety and depression, helping them build self-compassion and practical tools for daily life. With mindfulness, DBT, and a holistic lens, I guide clients toward greater balance, resilience, and emotional well-being.

It takes courage and vulnerability to come to therapy. As your therapist, I will walk with you so you feel understood. My approach is rooted in collaboration and cultural humility, meeting you where you are. Together, we’ll work toward mental, emotional, and overall well-being, moving beyond suffering to embrace joy, laughter, and contentment.
