Zarina Graham, LPC, LMHC

Zarina Graham supports parents who deeply love their children but often feel they are getting parenting wrong. She specializes in helping families where attempts to connect too frequently lead to tension, distance, or guilt, and where children struggle with low confidence or limited independence. She works with loving but burnt-out parents who feel disconnected and with children who need to be better understood and supported.

Her work centers on practical, evidence-based approaches while honoring each family’s cultural background, values, and traditions. Drawing on experience living in Uzbekistan, Egypt, Pakistan, and Japan, she brings a broad appreciation for cultural differences and adapts her interventions to fit the family’s context. When appropriate, she integrates play and art practices to create engaging spaces where children can express themselves and where families can experiment with new ways of relating.

Zarina addresses a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on caregiver issues and stress, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, social anxiety and phobia, women’s issues, and young adult issues. She provides services in English and brings four years of clinical experience to her practice. She is licensed as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor, and as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor.

Whether working with a parent, a child, or the whole family, her goal is to improve communication, reduce tension, and strengthen connections so that home life feels more connected and everyone feels heard and valued. She welcomes inquiries from families seeking a more connected approach to parenting and relationship repair.
