You are the expert in you, and I am the expert in helping you reach your goals. Let's collaborate.

"Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit." ~B.K.S. Iyengar * * * A healthy mind is just as important as a healthy body and a healthy soul. My goal is to partner with you in looking at your life-story, and identifying and overcoming the blockages to a peaceful way of being. Psychotherapy is a wonderful opportunity to find balance and restore a sense of wholeness and perspective on our purpose in life. I provide a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space in my practice for this to occur.

Trust and engagement are the hallmarks of effective treatment and I offer both to people who decide to work with me. I have an active approach towards treatment and believe in focused solutions for everyday challenges .You fill find an active listener who offers a safe environment to discuss and explore life’s challenges in a non - judgmental space. I bring over 25 years of clinical experience working with issues of anxiety,depression,marital/relationship issues, Utilizing a combination of psychodynamic , short term solution focused and Cognitive Behavioral approaches. My work is based on trust, engagement, and respect.

Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes it can get you down and leave you in a space that is unfamiliar, or even scary. But life can also be brilliant, and I think the way to reach that point is to explore yourself and who you are. I aim to work with clients who are ready to take that step into living the lives that they want to; who are ready to face challenges that others, or even themselves, said they couldn’t get through. Therapy is about collaboration and I work from a person-centered approach, meaning, you set the tone and I'm here to support and offer guidance that align with you, your needs, and your goals.

You wake up everyday and start the same daily grind. Week after week, you start to wonder "When does it get better?" You join the gym, try to meet new people, but you don't feel any different. You want to feel happy, confident and yourself again, but life keeps getting in the way. Plus, walking around wearing a mask is getting exhausting and you are ready to do something different, you just don't know where to begin. Especially since you don't feel right talking to other people, you don't want to feel like a burden. So you keep things to yourself, but it is time to start thinking about YOU and how to be happy again. You deserve it!

I seek to help you acheive a sense of balance in your life by creating a safe, caring space to explore your feelings and overcome your issues. The Agresta Psychotherapy Group has been serving the needs of the Metropolitan area for over 30 years by providing psychotherapeutic services to individuals, couples and families. I have experience dealing with various issues including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, sexual abuse, addictions, gender and relationship issues. Treatment plans are individually tailored to you and your needs. I believe with proper treatment and care all people can overcome their issues and lead a happy fulfilling life.

Do you criticize, doubt and judge yourself a lot? In your relationship, do you feel like walking on eggshells because you are afraid of saying anything to your partner that will spark yet another fight? Do you feel disconnected and your needs are not met? Imagine being at peace with yourself and feeling heard, connected, loved, appreciated, and respected with your loved ones. My mission as a relational therapist is to help you break maladaptive behavioral cycles and ways of relating to yourself. In interrupting these patterns, we open new avenues of communication—giving you healthier ways of connecting with the people you love most.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you bottle up your feelings? Do you feel misunderstood? Do you and your loved ones struggle to communicate? I offer a safe space to explore what is getting in your way, and what steps you'd like to take to change. I treat a wide range of individuals, couples, and families. I have the most experience with people seeking to resolve relationship issues, address their interpersonal trauma history, and work through transitions.

As a therapist who believes there is not just "one way" to do treatment, I use an integrative approach to helping my patients. I am a practitioner with a unique perspective having a background ranging from business to mental health. Counseling and psychotherapy are 'teamwork' approaches to problem solving that should be as unique as the person seeking help.

People often reach out with a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and the challenges of navigating life transitions. Whatever the specific issue, clients often share a common goal: to gain a deeper understanding of the issues they’re struggling with, to challenge and replace patterns of thought and behavior that are not serving them, and to learn helpful coping skills to manage stressors in healthy and productive ways. Ultimately, clients frequently aspire to cultivate a life of fulfillment, authenticity, and peace.

As a skilled and empathetic psychotherapist, my goal is to help you lead the life that you desire. I pair my psychodynamic training with evidence-based approaches and techniques to determine where changes can be made to help you find relief and fulfillment in your life.

When it comes to sex and relationship problems, many of us lead lives of quiet desperation. Sometimes you can be lying in bed next to someone and feel a million miles apart. I am a licensed psychotherapist, specializing in couple therapy and sex therapy. I am the New York Times best-selling author of "She Comes First," and I regularly contribute to major publications such as The Atlantic, The Economist and CNN Health amongst others. Talking about sex and relationships is hard, but self-silencing is even harder. My approach is solutions-oriented, with an emphasis on honest communication, and I give homework in between sessions.

I want to help you gain a greater sense of control over difficult thoughts and feelings. Clients often begin therapy requesting concrete tools to walk away with from each session. This is something I offer through through my enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach, with a dual focus on techniques for altering unhealthy thoughts and behavior, and for improving insight, awareness, and mindfulness. I have a long track record of creating powerful results for my clients.

Your thoughts are racing, stuck on replay. Your inner critic is winning. Life feels meaningless and exhausting. You want to escape reality. Feeling scared of vulnerability and hiding who you really are is wearing on you. Your relationships are draining. It feels like you're carrying around a body bag full of fears and insecurities. Feeling like a prisoner to your past is exhausting, too. Let’s face it: feeling confused, lost, and stuck has gotten old. Fortunately, you've come to the right place. Therapy can help. Life can be hard and feel overwhelming at times, but you don't have to live in pain.

You want to feel a sense of safety and security within your relationships. Whether you are with a partner and want to improve your intimacy or you are an individual looking to create a foundation for a positive relationship, I will collaborate with you to provide you the tools and motivation to feel empowered within your life. Through compassion and understanding, you will discover the platform to reach your full potential and enrich your life. My approach is to be attentive to your story as a couple or individual and tailor our work together to meet your unique needs.

Many people experience loneliness and difficulty finding and prioritizing themselves. They struggle to explore parts of aspiration due to guilt, shame, and fear. This doesn’t have to be you. If you are struggling with finding your value and your voice, then this is the space for you. Allow yourself to see the strength in who you are and how wonderful you have yet to be. I affirm individuals and families to trust themselves, after the world or people have let them down. I will help guide you down the road to meet your fulfilled self by encouraging you to step out of fear, find your voice, and regain your confidence.

Nina believes that each and every person has the internal strengths and resilience that can lead to a more fulfilling life. She supports her clients in identifying their unique goals and guides them through a profound transformation using a collaborative and trusting dynamic. Nina provides support to couples and individuals struggling with life transitions, relationship dynamics, anxiety and depressive symptoms.

I believe that prioritizing yourself in this way, seeking help when you need it, is an act of true strength. Long before I became a therapist, I was a client and it’s never lost on me what an act of radical and beautiful bravery it is to blindly trust someone to walk with you through this investment in yourself. I don’t take the therapeutic relationship or your trust in me as a therapist lightly. My goal is to help you develop sustainable skills to best manage the ups, downs, and in-betweens.
