Dr. Noor Alwani, PhD
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in women’s mental health, caregiver support, maternal well-being, relationship challenges, premarital counseling, proactive couples work to strengthen relationships, and recovery from separation or loss, including divorce, miscarriage, and other significant life transitions. My focus is on helping women and couples navigate change, improve communication, and build emotional resilience. Whether you’re balancing the demands of caregiving, preparing for marriage, strengthening your relationship, or healing from loss, I provide a supportive space tailored to your unique needs.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for individuals, as well as EFT, Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO), and techniques from the Gottman Method for couples. These evidence-based strategies help clients enhance connection, foster self-awareness, and create lasting, fulfilling relationships. I take a structured yet flexible approach, utilizing assessments before intake and throughout treatment to guide our work effectively.
I am Level 1 trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) through the IFS Institute, with specialized training in applying IFS when working with Muslims. I recognize the deep role that faith and values can play in a person’s life and understand the trust it takes to seek support. I approach mental health holistically, respecting each person’s unique journey and experiences. My goal is to create a welcoming, inclusive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your concerns in a way that aligns with your personal beliefs and values.
I earned my Ph.D. and Master’s in Clinical Psychology from the University of Virginia and am committed to supporting the well-being of women and couples through compassionate, culturally responsive care. I look forward to walking alongside you on your path toward greater balance, fulfillment, and emotional well-being.
