Zoya’s academic training has been strengthened by diverse professional experiences in both higher education and mental health. At James Madison University (2019–2021), Zoya worked in Orientation and Admissions, where she supported incoming students in navigating their transition to college. While completing her studies at Mary Baldwin University (2022–2023), Zoya gained additional experience through employment and an internship at the University of Virginia, serving in Athletics Student Support. In this role, she coached student-athletes to balance rigorous academic and athletic commitments while promoting overall success. Most recently, Zoya completed my graduate field placement at Bloom Health Centers (2024–2025), providing outpatient clinical services under supervision with a focus on trauma-informed, evidence-based care.

Zoya’s focus is on working with first responders, individuals who have experienced trauma, and those navigating life transitions. Her clinical approach is trauma-informed and holistic, integrating mind–body practices with evidence-based therapies to foster resilience, balance, and overall well-being. Zoya ensures to provide outpatient therapy for adolescents through older adults, tailoring care to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.
