Evie Mpras MS LMFT, LLC

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving Virginia-based clients through personal private practice, Evie Mpras MS LMFT, LLC.

I currently work with individuals, couples, and families, with specializations in pregnant and postpartum mental health, couples counseling, anxiety, and parenting/parent-child relationships through the life span.

I am currently providing virtual sessions via HIPAA compliant software.

My extensive therapy training, interest in neurobiology and somatic experiencing, as well as my personal experience as a wife and mother, enhances my work with clients.

I am trained in a variety of therapeutic models, and I integrate thoughtfully in order to meet the individual needs of each client or relationship.

I’m transparent and open with clients. I will share my honest observations while tuning in and respecting each client’s expertise on themselves and their relationships.

We will agree on a treatment method that feels right to you.

My primary theoretical model is I practice is ISTDP (Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy), which is an accelerated mode of psychotherapy expanding tolerance for emotions and restructuring the defenses/blocks that keep us disconnected from ourselves and others. This evidence-based therapy model is proven effective in treating anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and unexplained medical symptoms.

I also use emotion-focused and family systems approaches based on specific needs and wishes of each client.
