Juwairiah Abdus-Saboor, LCSW

Juwairiah Abdus-Saboor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings a strengths-focused and eclectic approach to mental health care. She earned a Bachelor of Social Work with a minor in Spanish from NC State University in 2012 and completed a Master of Social Work at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2016. She obtained her clinical social work license in 2019 and also earned a Certified Child & Adolescent Anxiety Treatment Professional credential in 2020, a specialty certification for treating anxiety in children and teens.

Over the past eight years she has practiced as a mental health professional across various cities in Virginia, working with individuals and families on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, parenting issues, addiction, and coping with life changes. Her practice integrates approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative methods, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused interventions to tailor care to each person’s needs.

She places particular emphasis on attachment and family dynamics, caregiving stress, co-occurring conditions, codependency, communication struggles, abandonment and attachment wounds, forgiveness, and issues tied to family of origin. Juwairiah also supports clients facing career and self-esteem challenges, sleep difficulties, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue, and she offers coaching-oriented work alongside clinical therapy.

Raised in Raleigh, North Carolina by Pan-African parents and one of five sisters, she values family connections and brings that relational perspective into her clinical work. She is a mother of two young sons and is married. Outside of practice she enjoys walking, traveling, cooking and exploring new foods, creating play-dough projects with her children, and learning about different cultures and history.
