Rabia Dhanani, LGPC

Clinician

Rabia Dhanani, LGPC (she/her) is a first-generation Pakistani American therapist with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University and a background in Women’s Studies and English from the University of Maryland.
Rabia’s approach is warm and culturally affirming, rooted in feminist, somatic, and mindfulness-based practices. She integrates tools from DBT, trauma-informed care, and relational approaches to support clients in regulating emotions, unlearning internalized shame, and cultivating a more compassionate relationship with themselves and others. Guided by decolonial and destigmatizing frameworks, she holds space for healing that centers identity, community, and joy.
Rabia works primarily with BIPOC women and adults navigating anxiety, grief, intergenerational trauma, postpartum stress, ADHD, and cultural or family dynamics. She is also a certified Restorative Circle Facilitator and leads EmpowerXHer, a virtual therapy group supporting women in exploring self-worth, spirituality, and collective healing.
She believes therapy can be a space to come home to yourself, where emotional safety, curiosity, and connection support meaningful change. Outside of her professional work, Rabia enjoys cooking and going to concerts.
