Nita helps her clients navigate their strategies to work through major challenges offering responsive caregiving solutions in a warm and nurturing environment, through CBT modalities and a strengths based perspective. Nita utilizes a positive, holistic, and collaborative approach, building upon client strengths to produce meaningful change. As an individual who was raised between two cultures, she offers a warm and safe space to discuss cultural competency as it relates to her clients' life. For many minorities, there is a stigma toward psychotherapy; it’s not something that's spoken about with friends and family. Nita approaches each client from a unique perspective, tailoring treatment to individual needs.
Nita specializes in anxiety, depression, career, premarital counseling, love, dating, & relationships, children, teens, & families, and racial & cultural identity.
Nita holds a Master of Social Work from University of Pennsylvania and is licensed in both New York and California.
