About Nadia

Nadia Maghsadi is an MD and licensed clinical professional counselor practicing from Maryland with a focus on family concerns, trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, relationship challenges, and related issues such as grief, intimacy, and addiction.

Background and approach

She brings four years of clinical experience across inpatient, outpatient, crisis, and family therapy settings, having worked with hospital programs, juvenile detention, substance abuse treatment, domestic violence intervention, and the National Suicide Lifeline. Her approach blends client-centered warmth with practical, skills-based interventions.

Nadia emphasizes empathy, honesty, and patience while helping clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of their goals. She also draws from trauma-informed and narrative methods to support healing from sexual assault, abuse, guilt and shame, and multicultural stressors, and she integrates mindfulness and breathing practices learned through her training as a yoga teacher.

Nadia holds an MD and the LCPC credential (MD LCPC LC9879) and aims to create a respectful space that honors cultural background and life story. Prospective clients in Maryland can expect a collaborative process that combines humanistic support with structured techniques to address immediate concerns and long-term growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful for identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. CBT offers concrete tools and practiceable skills to address symptoms and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist provides empathy, acceptance, and validation to support self-exploration and personal growth. Imago Relationship Therapy focuses on understanding relationship dynamics and improving communication between partners to heal attachment wounds and build connection.

Finding the right blend of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to tailor approaches to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess which methods feel most helpful and adapt the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats allow therapy to continue from different locations and provide multiple ways to engage with therapeutic work, whether someone prefers real-time conversation or more frequent text-based check-ins.
