About Mitra
Mitra Shahryary is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience helping people who struggle with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and trauma. She offers calm, straightforward support for people who want to feel more confident and cope better with life changes. Her approach focuses on listening first and building trust so clients can talk honestly about what matters to them.
She uses practical methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Mitra draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking patterns and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past hurts affect daily life. She also uses Attachment-Based and Solution-Focused ideas to improve relationships and set clear, achievable goals.
Mitra aims to create a nonjudgmental space where feelings are heard and explored. Sessions include gentle questioning, reflection, and collaborative planning for next steps. She emphasizes small, doable changes that add up over time.
Licensed in Virginia, the District of Columbia, and Colorado, Mitra follows regional licensing rules about where she can work. She notes that documentation such as letters or reports attesting to diagnoses or fitness for court, custody, disability, or service animals is not provided as part of her practice.
Her communication style is warm and direct. Mitra helps people break problems into manageable pieces and build practical coping skills. For many, this leads to clearer decision making and steadier self-esteem.
