Getting to know Mitra Shahryary

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience providing psychotherapy to adults navigating personal, relational, and life transitions. My work is rooted in a thoughtful and collaborative approach that prioritizes insight, emotional regulation, and meaningful change. I received both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from George Mason University. Over the course of my career, I have completed advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and Polyvagal Theory. I integrate these modalities within an attachment and trauma-informed framework, tailoring treatment to each individual rather than relying on a single prescriptive model. I am licensed to practice in Virginia, Washington, DC, Maryland, Tennessee, Washington State, and Colorado, and provide therapy to adults seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their patterns.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work with adults who want a deeper understanding of themselves and their behavioral patterns. Many of the struggles people experience in relationships, work, or daily life are rooted in patterns that developed early and were shaped by meaningful experiences. My approach is grounded in attachment and trauma-informed frameworks. Together, we explore the direct and indirect messages learned in childhood and how they influence the way you respond to stress, conflict, and connection today. Many behaviors that feel confusing or frustrating now were once adaptive and protective. In therapy, we identify these patterns, understand their origins, and work toward developing more flexible and intentional ways of responding. The goal is not just insight, but meaningful and lasting change.
