Nadia Maghsadi is a licensed clinical professional counselor practicing in Maryland who brings four years of clinical experience across a range of care settings.

She completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Maryland, College Park, and earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University. Her professional background includes work in inpatient hospital care for girls, detention centers for juvenile boys, outpatient substance abuse treatment for adults, domestic violence intervention programs for couples, and service with the National Suicide Lifeline.

Nadia is nationally certified and holds additional training in treating trauma and addressing problematic sexual behaviors. She also provides family therapy to help people navigate complicated family dynamics.

Her orientation is person-centered and humanistic – she aims to be warm, genuine, empathetic and patient while maintaining a nonjudgmental stance. Nadia is experienced at identifying dysfunctional thoughts that contribute to painful emotions or behaviors that do not support a client’s goals, and she intends to be honest, kind and consistently supportive throughout the therapeutic process. As the child of Middle Eastern immigrants, she values examining cultural background as part of understanding where a person is coming from and where they want to go. In addition, she is a trained yoga teacher and can offer individual clients breathing and mindfulness techniques.
