We can move past painful experiences and find joy.
My name is Nina, I have been a therapist for 10+ years. I am licensed in 5 states, EMDR trained and Unified Protocol trained. Although I enjoy using these modalities I use a more eclectic style that focuses on psychoeducation, self compassion and solution focused approach.
Professional Development
Academic training
I hold a Masters degree from Nova Southeaster University and a Bachelors in psychology from the University of Puerto Rico.
Languages
I offer services in English and Spanish.
Clinical experience
I have worked in community care services and telehealth platforms. I have worked with individuals living with PTSD, complex trauma, bipolar disorder, neurodivergent brains, anxiety and depression.
Therapy Approaches
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the basis to all inner healing and self exploration. I love incorporating techniques that can help you regulate the nervous system and get to the work your body protects you from.
Psychoeducation
Each one of us is the sum of our experiences. The secret is discovering how those experiences interrelate.
Trauma Focused Care
Our therapy sessions will be guided by YOU. You are the captain in this ship and I am just a mate with some good tools to help you when you need it. It is important that you feel supported and in control and never forced to do anything you don't feel safe doing.
Cognitive Behavioral Approaches
The basis of my clinical training has been informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and while I do not use manuals in our sessions, I do encourage you to examine how your thoughts influence your behaviors and feelings.
