Evie Mpras MS LMFT, LLC
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Welcome to my therapy practice.
My name is Evie Mpras. I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving Virginia via in person sessions & telehealth sessions.
I take pride in working alongside my clients with purpose, dedication, honesty, and warmth.
Clients often tell me that their past therapy experiences have been aimless and unfocused, leaving them feeling heard but without the relief and satisfaction of TANGIBLE change.
I am committed to a sincere collaboration that addresses your deepest longings for change and sets you free from patterns that hold you back from living fully and peacefully.
It is my privilege to join individuals, couples, and families in their journey.
