Therapists in Cold Spring, NY

Just as we do not rush a butterfly out of its cocoon, it is imperative to honor each individual’s process, trusting the journey is as beautiful as the destination. Nayera utilizes an eclectic approach to therapy that incorporates Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with components of Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness Therapy.

Life comes with surprises and challenges, and everyone needs some support along the way. One of the bravest things you can do is seek help to improve your mental health and understand yourself better. Together, we’ll enhance your well-being, making attainable and lasting changes in your life. Born in NYC to an Egyptian-American family, I draw from this dualistic heritage. As a lifelong violinist and oudist, music serves as an emotional bridge and healing power for me. I returned to Columbia University for a clinical MSW to translate the universal language of emotion and connect individuals to their deepest feelings.

Welcome, and congratulations on taking this courageous step towards connecting with a therapist. In my practice, I offer individual and couples counseling. My approach is empathic, respectful, honest, and collaborative. Together, we will pay attention to past experiences, including family dynamics, as well as work on practical, realistic approaches to dealing with today. I have found that people are more resilient than they think. I work to help you harness that strength and regain hope.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.
