Ngina Tobias

I am a Somatic Psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience in the social service field as an LCSW, 15 years of that time focused on counseling support to children, youth, families and individuals. I specialize in Trauma related issues, specifically Stress Reduction, Life Adjustment s/Grief and Loss, Family/Child-Youth Dynamics and LGBTQAI issues. My work history in school settings included social skill training, violence prevention/ feeling identification education, as well as mental health support services and parenting. This experience has helped shaped the educational and client centered approach to how I practice.

My work is client centered, supportive in identifying client strengths, and utilizes those strengths as building blocks to create a healthy mental and emotional foundation.

I see therapy as an opportunity to explore identity as well as practice and improve coping skills. Honoring self improvement is in my opinion a gateway to healing and growth.
