Professional statement

Nadia specializes in providing therapy to young adults and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, racial issues, and issues related to gender and sexuality. Her clientele often includes individuals navigating complex societal pressures and identity struggles. With a compassionate and empathetic approach, Nadia creates a supportive environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and emotions.

In her therapy sessions, Nadia draws from a diverse range of therapeutic modalities, including mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She integrates these approaches into a relational psychodynamic framework, emphasizing the importance of understanding attachment patterns and interpersonal dynamics. Through collaborative exploration, Nadia empowers her clients to actively take charge of their lives and relationships.

Nadia's professional background is rooted in a deep understanding of the relational aspects of human nature. With a keen awareness of the societal forces of patriarchy, heterosexism, and racism, she prioritizes authenticity and validation in her therapeutic work. Nadia recognizes the resilience of her clients while also acknowledging the feelings of powerlessness and isolation that can accompany life's challenges.

You can find Nadia at Kip which is conveniently located in studio 401 at 330 W 58th Street. She offers flexible scheduling options and is available for both in-person sessions and remote sessions to accommodate her clients' needs. Whether clients prefer face-to-face meetings or virtual sessions, Nadia ensures a safe and confidential space for exploration and growth.
