Great to meet you!

I’m Nisha Cirino, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with experience working with individuals facing a range of challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions. Most of my work has been in outpatient settings collaborating with individuals who have experienced various forms of trauma throughout the lifespan.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is centered and emphasizes building a strong therapeutic alliance . My style is warm, open-minded, holistic and empowering. My goal is to create a supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences without fear of judgment while learning strategies and skills to manage stress and improve their overall wellbeing. I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Mindfulness, and body-based techniques.

I think healing is possible for everyone. The process of healing isn't linear, and it doesn't look the same for everyone, so my hope is to focus on what works for you in therapy. I want to build a trusting relationship that allows you to tell me what's working and what's not, so together we can find the way to help you meet your goals.

What you can expect from our first session

In the first session we will collaborate on an assessment to help guide our work together.
