Rebecca Kassabian, LCSW
Ashburn, VA
I see committed relationships as the foundation of our emotional well-being. When nurtured, they provide stability, understanding, and connection and when disrupted, they can leave us feeling unmoored. I tailor my approach to each couple, combining context, concrete feedback, and practical skills to strengthen connection and communication. I focus on each partner’s strengths while helping them explore patterns, address challenges, and build healthier dynamics. My goal is to empower couples to communicate effectively, deepen empathy, and create resilient, fulfilling relationships.
