Nyra Serrant

Hi, I'm Nyra (she/her), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I was born and raised in the Commonwealth of Dominica, and earned my BA in Psychology from Binghamton University and my Master of Social Work from Hunter College. Since getting my license, I've worked in university and private practice settings with clients ages 10–60 from many different backgrounds. My specialties are anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, life transitions, multicultural and intersectional identities, and setting and keeping boundaries.

My approach is eclectic. I draw on evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and a strengths-based approach, and I adjust them to fit each client. I especially enjoy working with people who are new to therapy. I focus on building practical skills for handling adversity and on building relationships that support acceptance, growth, and change.

In our first session, my main goal is to get to know you and help you feel comfortable. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what's on your mind right now and what you'd like to get out of our work together. From there, we'll start setting goals together. I want you to leave knowing this is a client-centered, safe space where you can speak openly about your experiences, explore and work through life's challenges at your own pace.
