Justine Muyu

Justine Muyu

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


You've gotten through things most people never have to face — and somehow that's made it

harder, not easier, to ask for help. Maybe you're carrying anger that flares before you can stop

it. Maybe your closest relationships keep hitting the same walls. Maybe there's grief, or

trauma, or a version of yourself you've been trying to get back to for a long time. Whatever

brought you here, you don't have to explain yourself from the beginning or justify why it

matters. It matters. And you deserve a space where the work is real — and you deserve a life that is not just surviving. You deserve to live a meaningful, authentic life where you are thriving!

I'm Justine Muyu, LCPC — a Maryland-licensed clinical supervisor with 15 years of experience

and advanced training from Johns Hopkins and Salve Regina. I draw from ACT, Gottman

Method, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed practice to work with the whole

person, not just the presenting problem. No templates. No scripts. Just honest, skilled work.

I offer virtual therapy across Maryland and accept Aetna, Cigna, Ascension, and Carelon

Behavioral Health. New client openings are available now. Reach out today — let's find out if

we're a good fit and start building a plan that's actually made for you.

Dina Zalami

Dina Zalami

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision, and my goal is to provide a space where you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. For the past 15 years, I’ve worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, disordered eating, substance use, identity and cultural concerns, and moments of feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves.

My approach is integrative and tailored to each person’s unique needs. I draw from psychodynamic, attachment-based, cognitive behavioral (CBT), humanistic, and mindfulness-based approaches, balancing insight-oriented exploration with practical tools that support meaningful, lasting change. I believe our symptoms often serve a purpose, and together we’ll approach them with curiosity and compassion to better understand what they’re communicating rather than simply trying to eliminate them.

Having lived and worked internationally, I bring a culturally responsive perspective to therapy and understand how culture, identity, family, and life experiences shape the way we relate to ourselves and others. Whether you’re working through a specific challenge or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I’ll meet you with warmth, authenticity, and collaboration.

I earned my master’s degree in Counseling and Development from George Mason University in 2011 and have been practicing psychotherapy ever since. I provide therapy in English, Arabic, and French.
