Mitra maintains clinical social work professional licensure in the Commonwealth
of Virginia (LCSW) and the District of Columbia (LICSW). Earlier in her career, she served as a community-based counselor working with children
and families at risk of out-of-home placement. Her therapeutic approach is grounded in attachment theory and trauma-informed
care, and she is trained in evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment
Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based interventions, and strengths-based approaches. Her work emphasizes emotional regulation,
insight development, and the cultivation of psychological flexibility to help clients respond more adaptively to stress, relational
challenges, and life transitions.
In addition
to her psychotherapy work, Mitra conducts comprehensive medical social work assessments and provides ongoing case management
for elderly and physically disabled residents of the District of Columbia receiving Elderly and Persons with Disabilities
(EPD) Waiver services. Her work includes care coordination, service planning, and long-term support aimed at promoting safety,
functional independence, and overall quality of life.
Mitra joined our
team in 2010 as a graduate clinical intern and remained on staff since then.
