Getting to know Shaista Pirzada

I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Howard University and eight years of experience in the field. I am fluent in Urdu and have worked extensively with military members, adults, and older adults. I support individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, trauma, substance use and addiction concerns, grief and loss, suicidal thoughts, self-harm behaviors, personality-related difficulties, and life adjustment issues.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each person. I use a strengths-based, solution-focused, person-centered, and trauma-informed approach, drawing from therapies such as CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, and other integrative methods. My goal is to help you build on your strengths, develop coping skills, and work toward meaningful change at your own pace. I also have experience working in hospice care, where I provided grief and loss counseling to individuals and groups, as well as in correctional and community mental health settings, supporting people with both substance use and mental health concerns.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I have a special interest in working with relationship challenges, parenting stress, domestic violence, anger management, sexual abuse recovery, life transitions, military and family life issues, stress, divorce, co-dependency, self-esteem, and emotion regulation. I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
