I am a multicultural, compassionate and non-judgmental licensed professional counselor. My work includes a client-centered approach as I realize no two individuals are alike. I work with families, couples and individuals. I help clients take stock of what is working and what can benefit from additional attention. I encourage clients to avoid self-defeating beliefs and escape criticism, blame and complaints that distort their mental and emotional wellbeing. As a trained EMDR therapist, I utilize my skill to support clients in identifying and addressing childhood and adult traumatic experiences.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Professional Counselor with a specialty in Sex Therapy. I work with adult individuals that want to feel more connected with their inner selves, understanding that they are responsible for their own desire. As a sex therapist I am familiar with various sexual issues that have a direct impact on the individual and their relationships. For couples therapy, I integrate different therapeutic modalities to help couples building bridges to sexual desire and having the sex life they want or that is “good enough” for them.

I have a very warm approach to my patients and believe it is very important to have a good "match" between therapist and patient. I specialize in treating Anxiety disorders as well as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and OC spectrum disorders including Trichitillomania, Excoriation Disorder, and Body Dysmorphic Disorder.

I am a psychotherapist and neurodevelopmental psychologist. I offer psychotherapy and evaluation services to adults, children and families. I also also perform comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological testing. I received my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Georgia and completed my clinical internship at Harvard Medical School. I was a staff psychologist at Boston Children's Hospital/ Harvard Medical School for two years following a two-year fellowship there. I was also an instructor at Harvard Medical School from 2015 to 2017. I have presented nationally on clinician issues and Autism Spectrum Disorder in Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics.

Life can be hard sometimes...from dealing with life traumas, anxiety, panic attacks, grief and loss, depression, infertility and pregnancy loss, to figuring out how to navigate life after a pandemic. We've all been through a lot and can use a little bit of help in managing life. If you've found yourself at any of these crossroads, then you've come to the right place. I come with a wealth of knowledge with over 10 years of experience working in the public and private sector of mental health. I’m a strong advocate for therapy and mental health and I believe everyone should be given the tools to help cope with life stressors.

I believe in establishing a collaborative approach with my clients to help support the therapeutic process. Using cognitive -behavioral techniques, I help my clients learn to identify and challenge their unhealthy thoughts and behaviors so they can develop fuller, more meaningful lives. I work with clients in managing their emotions, improve their ability to communicate with others, and build healthy and resilient self-concept. Utilizing a direct, interactive approach, with a touch of humor, I teach my clients coping skills so they can pull from their "toolbox" of skills in between sessions and eventually throughout their lives.

Nina Cason, LCSW works from a Cognitive -Behavioral Orientation and applies techniques from Dialectical Behavioral (DBT) & Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapies. She has over 10 years of experience providing mental health care. Nina received her Master's in Social Work at Georgia State University in 2010.

I believe change can be easy! It doesn't have to be difficult or unnerving. I love educating and offering a space in which the client feels empowered to make the necessary changes needed to transcend into the life they're seeking. My objective is to assist and educate individuals struggling with mood disorders such as anxiety/ depression, trauma (PTSD) and interpersonal challenges. I also assist couples struggling with intimacy, communication skills and trust issues. Trust yourself enough to try something different to reach the transformation you're seeking.

My treatment philosophy is based on the belief that the practice of self-discovery creates more room for you to live your life to its fullest potential. Unfortunately, mental, emotional and relationship challenges can severly impeed your efforts. By weaving together behavioral, cognitive , developmental, personality and systems theories of psychology; many of the challenges can be resolved. In addition, the spiritual beliefs and religious traditions of each individual are explored. For many, this experience facilitates living more authentically and cultivates a compassionate understanding of self with a spirit of confidence that paves the way for greater accomplishment in all aspects of life.

Working from a person-centered perspective, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important components for change. I offer an empathic space to explore your goals toward recovery. I use a variety of theoretical approaches, including CBT , existential, and interpersonal therapies. Specializing in eating disorders, I begin the therapeutic relationship by meeting clients where they are in the recovery process. I understand that the development of an eating disorder is complex, and that there is no "one size fits all" approach to treatment. I can help you learn positive coping skills and address body image, identity, and self-esteem issues.

I'm a down-to-earth, millennial therapist who specializes in helping young women develop healthier relationships with themselves and others. Together, we work through difficult experiences & life transitions with the lack of self-esteem, self-worth, and self-love being the root of the issue: depression & anxiety, the break-up you can’t get over, your overbearing parent, unhealthy expectations, feeling stuck in life, the killer of joy-comparison, boundary issues in relationships, self-defeating negative thoughts, poor self-care, or even just needing a mental health check up. Any of this sound familiar? I can help!
