Naureen's approach to psychotherapy is eclectic with an emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Innerchild Work, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing.

She enjoys having an integrative and collaborative process in therapy and believes that the work done in therapy continues outside of the session.

Due to COVID-19, Naureen is not currently seeing clients in person. All sessions will be conducted remote via telehealth video sessions. Phone sessions available by request. Naureen is out of network with all insurance, but provides superbills for anyone using OON benefits.

I believe that inside of you is your best potential waiting to be revealed to you. We are first humans before the labels society has given us and I believe as humans, we have to expose our triumphs, ask for help, and heal our souls. I am a compassionate person who understands the importance of not only feeling heard, but feeling heard without judgment. All the goals you didn’t think you could achieve, all the trauma you didn’t think you could overcome, all the pain you didn’t understand how to heal from is just a phone call away. Feed your mind, heal your soul. Don’t hesitate, let’s connect today!
