Evie Mpras MS LMFT, LLC

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving clients in person in Virginia and via telehealth through my private practice, Evie Mpras MS LMFT, LLC.

I work with individuals, couples, and families, with specializations in treating Anxiety & Trauma, Couples, Pregnant and Postpartum Mental Health, and Parenting/Parent-Child Relationships through the life span.

I approach my work with clients very seriously and I am mindful of the trust and time placed with me. My belief is that too many approaches of therapy can be aimless or without focus to a person’s priorities and longings. I am committed to understanding my clients, coming to an agreement on what would be most helpful, and being an authentic,dedicated participant in our process together.

I have taken a depth of training in a variety of research-based, effective therapy models, and I tailor my approach to meet the needs of each person or relationship.

My manner is honesty with warmth, while tuning in and respecting each client’s expertise on their life.

The primary theoretical model is I practice is ISTDP (Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy), which is an accelerated mode of psychotherapy that expands tolerance for emotions and restructures the defenses/blocks that keep us disconnected from ourselves and others. This evidence-based therapy model is proven effective in treating anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and unexplained medical symptoms.

I also use Interpersonal Neurobiology, Emotion-Focused (EFT) and Family Systems approaches based on specific needs and wishes of each client.
