Farrah Alakhras, MA

Licensed Professional Counselor

Healing begins in a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with over 10 years of experience supporting youth, adults, and families through life's challenges. I'm passionate about helping women navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, infertility, pregnancy loss, reproductive grief, and perinatal mental health.

My approach is compassionate, culturally responsive, and grounded in the belief that every person deserves support that honors their unique experiences, values, and identity. Whether you're moving through a difficult season, processing the past, or seeking growth, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

Sama Juma, MA, Resident in Counseling

Sama Juma, MA

Resident in Counseling

People make a lot more sense than they give themselves credit for.

I'm a licensed resident therapist who spends a lot of time helping people untangle things they didn't create. Much of my work focuses on trauma, attachment, family dynamics, identity, and the ways our past quietly follows us into the present. I'm especially passionate about working with BIPOC clients, Muslim clients, cycle-breakers, and people who find themselves asking, "Why do I keep ending up here?"

Therapy with me tends to be thoughtful, direct, curious, and occasionally uncomfortable in the way growth often is. We'll explore patterns, challenge assumptions, make sense of old wounds, and hopefully leave you with more freedom than you walked in with. I'm so happy you're here.
