How are you doing today ? Its Ok if you are Not Ok. My name is Nzinga. I am a licensed professional counselor in DC, NV, and NJ. Trauma can leave deep emotional scars, impacting every aspect of life—from self-esteem to relationships and overall mental health. Are you having trouble with your gambling? Are you having trouble with your thoughts about Sex or Porn? Being able to think clearly when life has so many moving pieces, can be challenging. Struggling with uncomfortable thoughts and urges when there are temptations all around. I will walk with you through this journey to a healthier wellbeing.

In our sessions, we will focus on building effective coping skills that empower you to manage stress, anxiety, and emotional triggers. I utilize evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing. My goal is to empower you to achieve healing.

I specialize in working with adults who are ready to break free from the cycle of negative thinking and confront unresolved trauma. Together, we will work towards healing, personal growth, and self-discovery, allowing you to reclaim your life and find a renewed sense of purpose.
