Hi, my name is Dr. Nadia Huq. I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in working with children, adolescents, and their families. Previously, I worked as a psychologist at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Irving Medical Center’s Pediatric Psychiatry Department for 7 years.

Are you a mom trying to manage the everyday chaos of family life? Are you also dealing with the unique challenges of food allergies within your family? You want to be the parent you know yourself to be, yet you keep letting yourself down. Juggling kids, work, and life can leave you feeling drained. You just want some help to find that sweet spot where you can stop yelling and rediscover the joy of family life. For moms dealing with the ups and downs of food allergies, it can feel so overwhelming and lonely. The constant worry, label-checking, and meal planning is exhausting. Keeping your child safe is a full time job.

Due to my clinical training and experience, my services are best suited for families experiencing relationship issues, parenting stress, divorce, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, attachment issues, developmental disabilities, and immigration-related concerns.

My work often includes school visits, participating in IEP meetings, home visits, collaboration with pediatricians and psychiatrists, testifying in court, and consulting with experts.

As a systemic thinker, I am always looking at a person in relationship to their environment, and the people in it. With a strength-based approach in family therapy, I also use psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral principles, while providing a safe and empathic environment for our work together. I have treated families, couples and individuals for 16 years with a broad scope of culture, age and relational issues. I have helped many people through transitional events that affect them throughout their lives; school, career, marriage, parenting, illness, loss, divorce and retirement. My interest is in the relationship you have with yourself and those around you.

Seeking therapy for your child can be overwhelming and is important to work with a therapist who is collaborative and consistently available to parents.

I assist parents in becoming "on the same page" regarding their children and I help caregivers to review their own parenting styles.

Life is messy. We all struggle. No one is exempt. Throughout each of our unique journeys and paths, the challenges, detours, and great barriers we face are an inevitable part of that experience. And at some point we all need to stop and take time—time to care for ourselves, time to reevaluate what’s important and where we’re heading. For you, maybe that time is now. Maybe you're experiencing depression, anxiety, confusion, or loss—but you don't have to do it alone. I can help support your journey back to personal power as a companion, witness, and non-judgmental guide.

I work with clients from a variety of backgrounds, and want clients to feel a sense of compassion and real concern for their welfare.

I also work with families on parenting and child behavioral issues, coparenting after divorce, and mediation.

Everyday life can be messy and even overwhelming at times. It can be especially difficult to navigate when we feel, anxious, confused, unmotivated, or frustrated.

I offer in person and Telehealth counseling services to children, adolescents, adults, families, groups, and couples.

You are seeking improvement and are ready to work toward ls it. You desire guidance, feedback and a therapist who is actively involved in your sessions.

Symptom relief and functional recovery are truly attainable with proper focus and the use of effective coping strategies. You want to feel better so that you can fully engage in life and I can help you do that.

Every child and parent has a unique set of strengths and experiences. Making home and school happy, safe and successful for you and your child requires harnessing existing skills, building new strengths, and carefully navigating challenges. I bring a holistic approach to help you and your child foster positive social, emotional, and behavioral well-being across settings.

Your pregnancy and postpartum experience can feel exciting but also disorienting, challenging with moments of unfamiliar anxiety, stress or depression.

I will work with you to uncover the wise inner parent that already exists within you.

I partner with individuals and new (or experienced!) parents who feel anxious, overwhelmed or uncertain and bring them to calm, confident and hopeful.

With specialized training in peripartum mental health I can support you as you explore parenting and recognize when the "baby blues" have become more than you can handle.
