Hello my Name is Niah and I am here to help you heal. Therapy with me looks like a trauma-informed, solution-focused, collaborative process. This means that I believe in working together to help you heal in a way that considers your life experiences, aspirations, and goals to achieve your mental wellness. I am a huge advocate of adult creative expression, play, mindfulness and centering joy in your healing process.
I use trauma-informed, expressive, and creative tools paired with a solution-focused orientation. This looks like considering trauma and realistic barriers when forming solutions, avoiding false positivity, and balancing heavy therapeutic work with creative assignments that utilize music, sound, journaling, somatic exercises, and mindfulness.
The main issues I specialize in are stress, trauma, depression, grief, anxiety, chronic illness, and disability. A typical treatment plan starts with identifying the roots of your concerns, identifying healthy ways to process the emotions that come with discovery, utilizing creative & expressive assignments outside of our sessions and finally, building a realistic solution tailored to your needs.
I offer evidence-based therapeutic practices while also taking a holistic approach that invites you to bring your culture, spirituality, and creativity into the safe space we create together. I facilitate a space for you to be heard while offering gentle guidance towards a healthier and authentic version of you.
