Getting to know Hannah Shahabi
I’m Hannah Shahabi, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and owner of Resilient Futures Counseling. I offer therapy in person in Alexandria and Fairfax, VA, and online anywhere in Virginia. I specialize in working with the Overwhelmed Achiever: the person who looks like they have it together on paper, but inside is running on empty, stuck in self-doubt, or waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I work with adults dealing with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, depression, complex trauma, and late (or suspected) ADHD diagnoses. I also work with couples, especially multicultural couples and couples looking for premarital counseling, who want to communicate better and build a relationship where both of their identities are honored.
I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), along with nervous system education. Together we’ll figure out what’s actually driving the overwhelm, instead of only managing the symptoms. The goal is real emotional regulation, resilience, and changes that hold up outside the therapy room. If this sounds like you, you’re not alone, and you’re not messed up.
I hold master’s degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Forensic & Legal Psychology from Marymount University. I’m a National Certified Counselor (NCC), a board-certified clinical supervisor in Virginia, and certified in Expressive Trauma Integration.
I’m a private pay, out-of-network provider. I provide a superbill so you can request reimbursement from your insurance, and many clients also use HSA/FSA funds. Payment is due at the time of service. Not sure if we’re a fit? Book a free 15-minute consultation call through my website.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You don’t need the right words to start. You just need to be willing to show up as you are. My approach is built on collaboration and honesty. I bring the tools and the clinical expertise, but you’re the expert on your own life, and my job is to help you make sense of it.
I’ll be warm with you, and I’ll also be honest. I’ll gently challenge the stories and thought patterns that keep you stuck in anxiety, perfectionism, or burnout. I’ll also explain the “why” behind what we’re doing, so therapy doesn’t feel like a mystery. I bring humor in when it fits, because therapy doesn’t have to be heavy every single session.
We move at your pace, and if something feels like too much, we slow down. My practice is trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and LGBTQIA+ affirming. I tailor each session to you instead of following a one-size-fits-all script. Some of the most useful sessions start with “I don’t know what to talk about today.”
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Your first session is about getting to know each other, with no perfect script needed. We’ll talk through what’s bringing you in, what’s felt hard lately, and what you’re hoping to get out of therapy. I’ll ask some background questions, but it’s a conversation, not an interrogation. By the end, we’ll start mapping out goals together.
In the early sessions, we focus on understanding the patterns and cycles you want to break, and the nervous system responses underneath them. At the same time, you’ll build coping skills to get you through the discomfort that comes with change.
A typical session starts with a check-in. You decide whether there’s an event or theme you want to dig into. If that feels hard on a given day, we come back to the treatment goals we set together. Sessions combine talking, short experiential exercises, and skill-building drawn from CBT, DBT, and IFS.
Therapy works best as a consistent practice. Most clients start weekly or every other week, and we adjust the frequency together as things improve. In-person sessions are available in Alexandria and Fairfax, VA, and secure Telehealth is available for clients anywhere in Virginia.
