Great to meet you!

Dr. Mary N. Iskarous, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Virginia, brings over a decade of experience guiding clients toward healing and strength. She treats a wide range of prevalent emotional health concerns, such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, and grief, while also specializing in supporting veterans and individuals facing severe and chronic mental health challenges, helping them reclaim their lives and foster lasting well-being.

My approach to therapy

She specializes in evidence-based treatments like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma and PTSD, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for depression and anxiety, and tailored interventions for insomnia, nightmares, chronic pain, and medical challenges. By incorporating mindfulness-based techniques, she fosters emotional resilience, helping clients navigate their lives with greater clarity and strength.

Central to her practice, Dr. Iskarous employs Internal Family Systems (IFS), a transformative approach that empowers clients to explore and harmonize their inner world, heal deep emotional wounds, and cultivate a profound sense of self and peace. In a warm, collaborative environment, she leverages the IFS-informed approach to guide clients through processing challenging experiences, helping them uncover practical solutions, gain deeper emotional insight, strengthen relationships, and manage daily emotions with greater ease. This powerful framework offers clients a path to self-compassion and resilience. For those who seek it, Dr. Iskarous weaves personal beliefs and spiritual practices into therapy, recognizing their role in holistic well-being and supporting clients in finding strength and meaning through faith.

She also offers culturally-sensitive therapy for Arabic-speaking clients, providing a safe and understanding space to explore their unique needs and experiences.
