My name is Nneka Symister, and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker with over two decades of experience in social services, with the last decade dedicated specifically to private practice. My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in client-centered care. I believe that each of us possesses the innate ability to shape our thoughts, behaviors, and interactions with others. We not only have the power to envision the life we desire but also to define the person we aspire to be. If you're ready to embark on the journey of self-discovery and transformation, I invite you to contact me for a consultation today.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Interpersonal Therapy, and mindfulness.
