Therapist

Welcome to Headway! I am Zarinah, a Licensed Professional Counselor currently licensed in Virginia, Texas, and Iowa. I have fourteen years of professional counseling experience working across settings with a diverse population and wide range of presenting problems. My passion is helping clients adapt healthy ways to cope with stress and intense emotions related to family or relationship issues, anger, depression, anxiety, trauma and many others stressors. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to guide clients towards awareness of how thoughts and feelings impact behaviors and can often lead to undesired outcomes.

Adriana Espinoza

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


Although I have a wide range of professional experience ranging from maternal/family health and parenting, to grief and trauma, my focus usually gravitates towards trauma, as it tends to be an underlying unaddressed symptom behind many different presentations. I believe everyone will be, at some point in their life, in need of help and because of this, everyone is thus also deserving of it. Unbiased, without judgement or fear of retaliation or criticism- just the ability to let go in a safe, trusting space. With my practice, you set the course- and I will provide the tools and support to get us there.

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


I’m Dr. Carly Ellman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and sports social worker with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals, families, and athletes across a wide range of life transitions.


My therapy style is warm, honest, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to help you build clarity, confidence, and tools that support your wellbeing both inside and outside the therapy room.


Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, sport-related stress, or a desire for deeper self-understanding, you’ll find a safe, non-judgmental place to explore and grow.


My background includes clinical practice, college teaching, and working directly with youth, parents, and coaches to strengthen mental health, resilience, and relationships through evidence-based approaches.


I’ve also earned a Sports Social Work Certificate and serve on the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee Mental Health Registry, where I work with athletes navigating performance pressure, identity, anxiety, and stress.
