Nooshin Kiankhooy biography

about me

I often tell my clients that finding a counselor is like buying a new pair of shoes; sometimes you have to try on a few different sizes and styles before you find the right pair. My style is empathic and understanding, yet straight-forward and honest. I help my clients get unstuck and move forward, while providing feedback that is productive and manageable. You and I can work together to come up with ways to meet your goals for therapy, along with acquiring insight into your behaviors, thoughts, and feelings.

I work with individuals and specialize in Eating Disorders (I am a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist Consultant) and trauma. I have also completed basic training for EMDR and am working toward certification through EMDRIA.

I have been in private practice since 2013 and have been clinically licensed since 2011. In the past, I have worked with patients in Psychiatric Hospitals and Partial Hospitalization Programs. I have also worked five years in Day Treatment and Intensive Outpatient Treatment programs for those struggling with Eating Disorders, to include being an IOP Team Leader. I am also an Approved Supervisor for LGPC’s in the state of Maryland.

“Nooshin literally saved my life. She is an incredible therapist who cares deeply for her clients. She never lost faith in me, even when I was at my lowest. Nooshin is the perfect balance of candid and kind.”
