Getting to know Saman Mokhtari

I ONLY PROVIDE THERAPY TO CLIENTS WHO LIVE IN VIRGINIA (ONLINE AND IN-PERSON) AND WASHINGTON DC (ONLINE ONLY). FAMILY AND MARRIAGE COUNSELING SESSIONS ARE NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE AND MUST BE PAID OUT OF POCKET (ONLY INDIVIDUAL THERAPY SESSIONS ARE COVERED BY THE INSURANCE I ACCEPT). I am a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in relational dynamics, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment, and trauma-informed care. I integrate existential-humanistic and mindfulness-based frameworks to guide individuals and couples toward deeper self-awareness, emotional resilience, and intentional change. I enjoy providing services to LGBTQ+ population. I am known for providing a grounded, emotionally attuned, and authentic therapeutic presence — one that balances insight with practical strategy. I work collaboratively with clients to build long-term emotional resilience while honoring culture, identity, and nervous system safety.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I take a relational, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed approach to therapy. Grounded in attachment and existential-humanistic frameworks, my work emphasizes emotional awareness, nervous system safety, and meaningful insight that translates into real-life change. I offer a collaborative and intentional space, blending reflection with practical tools to support long-term growth and resilience.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

The process begins with an intake session focused on understanding the client’s history, current challenges, and goals. From there, I collaboratively create a tailored treatment plan and use a relational, emotionally attuned approach that integrates mindfulness, attachment work, and practical tools for real-life change. I regularly check in to ensure therapy remains aligned with the client’s goals and supports long-term emotional resilience.
