Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.

I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.

I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.

Dr. Zahide Sunal

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


Adults across the lifespan come to my practice navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, work stress, relationship challenges, and questions of identity or cultural belonging. Many are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain internally. I also specialize in working with immigrants and individuals exploring multicultural identity. Together, we create a space to slow down, make sense of emotional experiences, understand patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and build resilience and clarity for what comes next.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, and cultural identity exploration. My work integrates CBT, mindfulness, person-centered therapy, and family systems theory, grounded in cultural humility. I help clients build insight, coping skills, and meaningful, lasting change.

You don’t have to carry everything alone. Therapy is a space where you can feel seen, understood, and supported without judgment. Together, we can explore what feels heavy, uncover deeper patterns, and move toward greater clarity and ease. If you’re ready for change, I invite you to take that next step toward yourself.

I have a double Master's and a Doctoral degree in psychology. I began my graduate study In NYC in 2006 doing research and clinical work in attachment theory both with young children and adults. It was there that I witnessed the impact of early and adult attachments. I have trained and worked in a variety of settings and each time I witnessed the fundamental human need of a secure, responsive and safe connection and the impact of isolation and trauma.
