About Sumintra Parker
Sumintra is a Resident in Counseling with Ellie Mental Health Woodbridge who provides virtual therapy for children, teens, and adults, as well as couples and families. She has experience supporting clients in individual, couples, family, and group therapy and is passionate about helping people feel seen, heard, and valued.
Sumintra provides virtual therapy to clients in Woodbridge, Prince William County, Northern Virginia, and communities throughout Virginia. She creates a warm and welcoming environment where clients can explore their experiences, relationships, identities, and goals from the comfort and convenience of home.
Sumintra draws from Emotion-Focused Therapy, Supportive Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), thoughtfully tailoring therapy to each client’s individual needs. Whether someone needs practical tools, encouragement, deeper insight, or simply space to pause and breathe, she works collaboratively with clients to help them build resilience, strengthen relationships, and move toward meaningful change.
Sumintra values cultural humility and remains mindful of how cultural identity, societal influences, family experiences, and personal history can shape each person’s life. As a second-generation Caribbean American, she brings an appreciation for the role culture and identity can play in relationships and emotional well-being while honoring each client’s unique experiences and perspective.
Sumintra earned her B.A. in Psychology from Hampton University and her M.Ed. in Counselor Education from Virginia Commonwealth University, where she specialized in Couples and Family Counseling. Her clinical experience includes both community mental health and outpatient therapy settings.
At the heart of Sumintra’s work is the belief that therapy can be a space for both meaningful growth and celebration. She strives to help clients feel supported and understood while reminding them that joy is allowed, even in the midst of growth.
Outside of her clinical work, Sumintra enjoys exercising, spending time with family and friends, and exploring new cuisines.
