Valia Shoja, LPC in Virginia, LCPC in Maryland

I am an Iranian-American immigrant and my lived experiences have given me unique insight into the challenges faced by underprivileged communities and vulnerable populations. Rooted in my cultural background, I am deeply committed to making mental health services more accessible. I believe in the healing power of storytelling as a pathway to resilience and collective recovery. I also hold the conviction that every individual possesses an authentic inner compass that can guide them toward meaning and purpose in life. My mission is to support clients in exploring their values and aspirations while fostering a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship. Together, we will work collaboratively in a safe and supportive space to pursue long-term goals and lasting growth.
