Hi there, I'm Nakia Conay! I am a Licensed Marriage, Family, and Child Therapist. “Finding the Right” Therapist can be challenging. I applaud you for taking the first step on your journey to a more meaningful you. Providing ways for individuals, couples, and families to cope with life’s difficulties and finding individualized ways to facilitate healing to achieve self-determination is my passion. Each session is tailored to your unique needs and goals. I welcome you to reach out whenever you feel ready to begin. I’m here to provide an unbiased, safe, and supportive environment where you can be open and yourself.”
Therapy is a collaboration. With our combined efforts, goals that matter to you will be identified, whether they focus on dissolving or improving relationships, building self-esteem, or any other personal objective. Your goals may evolve as you gain new insights as we work together. We will adapt our plan to make certain it’s always relevant and meaningful.
I am welcoming, warm, friendly, unbiased, non-judgmental, and non-directive. Creating a safe, open, and comfortable space for clients is my primary goal. I am an active listener and will provide opportunities for you to reflect on your experiences.
