Professional Headshot for Mental Health Therapist, Hannah Shahabi. Based in Old Town Alexandria, VA. Hannah works with clients suffering from mental health concerns such as burnout, family relationship challenges, anxiety, and late diagnosis ADHD.

  • Founder and Owner of Resilient Futures Counseling

    I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC) with a diverse educational background.

    I hold a dual Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Forensic & Legal Psychology from Marymount University. Prior to that, I completed my bachelor's degree in Communications with a minor in Psychology from the University of Arizona.

    I am currently licensed in the state of VA.

  • My primary focus is to establish a safe and secure space for my clients. I adopt a collaborative approach and work towards personal empowerment with all my clients.

    I firmly believe in the importance of combining empathy with a willingness to challenge my clients' thought processes. This particular approach allows my clients to delve into the underlying root causes of their concerns without getting lost in the past.

  • Recognizing that each person has their own way of coping with life's challenges and varying levels of support, I understand the significance of having at least one supportive individual who can serve as a catalyst for change.
