Juwairiah Abdus-Saboor, LCSW

Juwairiah Abdus-Saboor is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who brings eight years of experience supporting individuals and families across Virginia. She completed a Bachelor of Social Work with a minor in Spanish at NC State University in 2012, earned a Master of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2016, and obtained her clinical social work license in 2019. In 2020 she received specialized training as a Certified Child & Adolescent Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP-CA), a credential focused on evidence-based approaches for anxiety in young people.

She practices with an eclectic, strengths-based orientation that blends solution-focused strategies, self-psychology, systems thinking, and attachment theory to help clients identify resources, restore balance, and move toward meaningful change. Her clinical interests include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, family and parenting concerns, relationship difficulties, addiction, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and caregiver or compassion fatigue. She also addresses issues such as abandonment and attachment wounds, communication and control problems, family of origin dynamics, and end-of-life or hospice-related concerns.

Raised in Raleigh, North Carolina by Pan-African parents alongside her four sisters, Juwairiah draws on personal and cultural perspectives in her work. She is a mother of two young sons and is supported by a close family network. 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.
