Hawraa Akhond

LPC

I am a therapist with 10 years of experience working with adolescents and adults in various settings, including private practice, schools, inpatient hospitals, outpatient community-based care, IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program), and PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program). I am licensed in the states of MD, VA, and DC.


Additionally, I provide DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) group therapy. In addition to my practice, I also serve as an adjunct instructor at Marymount University. I find great fulfillment in my job as it allows me to make a positive impact on the world by helping individuals on a one-on-one basis.


Lastly, I am a certified coach practitioner, and I find great joy in assisting my patients in setting and accomplishing their personal goals. Whether it's in their personal or professional lives, I provide support and guidance to help them navigate their journey towards success.
