Getting to know Aya Eltahir

Aya Eltahir, LCSW, helps teens, adults, and older adults across Virginia navigate life’s challenges with compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based care. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and CSAC Supervisee at LifeStance Health, she works collaboratively with patients seeking support for anxiety, depression, and ADHD, helping them develop practical skills, strengthen resilience, and move toward meaningful change. Through individual, family, group, and intensive outpatient therapy services, Aya creates a welcoming space where patients feel heard, understood, and empowered in their mental health journey. Aya is especially passionate about helping individuals facing anxiety, depression, and grief. She recognizes that emotional pain can affect every aspect of life, from relationships and work to self-confidence and overall well-being. Her approach focuses on helping patients better understand their experiences, identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and build effective strategies for coping, healing, and growth. She tailors treatment to each person’s unique goals and strengths while fostering a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in trust and respect. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Aya supports patients in developing healthier thought patterns, improving emotional regulation, and building skills that can be applied in everyday life. She also provides care for additional concerns, including women’s issues and other emotional and behavioral health needs. Her professional philosophy centers on creating an inclusive, supportive environment where patients can explore challenges, celebrate progress, and cultivate lasting well-being. Outside of her clinical work, Aya is an avid reader who enjoys baking and experimenting with new recipes.
