Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Naima Diriye—a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner offering mental health care with warmth, openness, and compassion. I’m here to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward—especially if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, alone, or stuck for a while.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in treating depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and PTSD. Whether you’re facing a recent life stressor or have been silently carrying your struggles for years, I provide a safe space to talk things through and work together toward healing. My approach is rooted in nonjudgmental listening, collaborative care, and a deep belief in each person’s ability to grow and thrive.

Clients often tell me they feel comfortable, understood, and hopeful after our sessions. My goal isn’t just to prescribe the right medication—I’m here to truly partner with you, offering insights, support, and practical strategies that fit your life and your goals.

What you can expect from me

I chose this path because I believe mental well-being is essential—and no one should have to go through hard times alone. Being able to support people during their most vulnerable moments is something I consider both an honor and a responsibility.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, traveling, and spending quality time with my family. I bring that same groundedness and care into every session.

If you're ready to take that first step—or even if you're just exploring your options—know that you're not alone. I’m here to walk alongside you.
