About Nadia

Nadia Maghsadi brings a warm, person-centered approach to clients seeking help with concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative exploration, using empathy and nonjudgmental curiosity to help people identify patterns that interfere with daily functioning and goals. Nadia combines practical tools with reflective work to address anger, addictions, parenting questions, multicultural concerns, and life transitions.

With four years of clinical experience, she draws on settings that include inpatient care, juvenile detention programming, outpatient substance use treatment, domestic violence interventions, and national crisis support lines. Nadia completed undergraduate studies at the University of Maryland, College Park and earned a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Johns Hopkins University.

Her credentials include MD and LCPC, listed as MD LCPC LC9879, and she integrates trauma-focused techniques alongside narrative and mindfulness practices. As the child of Middle Eastern immigrants, she pays attention to cultural context and can offer breathing and mindfulness tools from her background as a yoga teacher.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathetic relationship where the client’s experience guides the work; it is useful for improving self-esteem, exploring identity, and processing emotional pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete strategies for addressing anxiety, depression, and impulsive patterns that can accompany ADHD. Mindfulness-infused techniques help people develop present-moment awareness and breathing skills to manage stress, emotional reactivity, and chronic worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and occurs collaboratively. The therapist will listen to each person’s goals, preferences, and concerns and will suggest methods drawn from these models while adjusting the plan based on what feels most helpful over time.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility for varied schedules. These formats allow clients to pursue therapy from home or other comfortable settings, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the communication style that best supports their progress.
