Great to meet you!

Greetings, my name is Tahira Nasiru. I am a licensed therapist based in New York, specializing in ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I also assist individuals in healing from trauma, employing a trauma-informed approach in my practice. I completed my graduate training at the Sibelman School of Social Work in New York City. My therapeutic modalities include cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, positive psychology, and psychodynamic theory.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is highly client-centered-- meaning, it's all about you. You're the captain of your ship ( expert of your life), steering us towards your goals. I'm just here to help guide you along the way with my expertise. My sessions start with a bit of structure, but then we go with the flow. You decide how things go, and I'm always open to feedback to make sure it works for you. I like to keep things supportive, relaxed, sometimes funny, and always focused on your goals.

What you can expect from me

I just ask that you try your best and show up as much as you can. Ideally, we meet at least once a month. Between sessions, we'll have some homework, like journaling or cognitive exercises, to keep the progress going. I want you to prioritize progress over perfection and keep moving forward, even if there are setbacks. No matter how many setbacks we may have, so long as you continue to get back up, you will always fall upwards.
