Najwa Driggins
Hello, I’m Najwa! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New Jersey. I graduated from Rutgers University with a Masters in Social Work. I have had the pleasure of working with children, teens, adults, Senior Citizens and families, in the community, schools, home and facilities. I assist individuals and families improve their quality of life by working together on personal challenges negatively impacting the mental health of individuals. I am here to help individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, self-awareness/self-esteem, family/relationship challenges, grief/loss, life transitions, and developing healthy boundaries and coping skills.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
My hope is to foster an environment of safety and comfort for my clients to explore themselves and work on personal challenges causing distress. I believe my clients can attain their goals. I hope to offer the space, support and guidance towards their success.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize
I utilize various treatment methods depending on the individual. However, I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge negative and irrational thoughts that often lead to negative behaviors and cause distress and Psychodynamic approaches that tend to focus on the individual examining inner conflicts to assist with decreasing stress and improving relationships.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My biggest strength is that I can view the individual separately from their challenges or how one may present as a result. I am open-minded and able to think outside of the box. I believe that each of us has value and purpose and it is never too late to learn about oneself.
