LMHC, 13 years of experience
Hi! I am Nyasha Poitier, I received my master's in clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2014. I have been servicing clients for 13 years and in private practice for 8 years. You've made a very courageous step for yourself! I believe the client is the expert of their lives; in therapy, I am here to serve as a guide to help you explore your deepest thoughts and feelings while providing you with a safe and non-judgmental space.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, an overview of the intake forms, and a dive into what's bringing you into therapy. This will help me create an individualized plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Having worked with young professionals for the past 13 years, I am confident in my professional ability to help clients effectively seek the change that they desire by (a) identifying the root cause of their challenges, (b) create an individualized plan that leads to measurable progress, (c) give language and a voice to your story. I value open and honest feedback and building a therapeutic alliance. I weave expressive arts and mind-body practices into our sessions because healing isn’t always found in words alone. Sometimes, it’s about slowing down to notice what your body is holding, so you can release tension, rediscover joy, and embrace your authentic self.
I enjoy working with adults who are seeking positive change, growth, and empowerment. My clients are wanting to heal, but do not yet have the tools or language to make their healing goals a reality. I am here to help guide my client in this collaborative process and empower them to be an active participant in writing their story. Maybe you're overwhelmed by life’s demands, struggle with self-doubt, or find it hard to feel fulfilled despite outward success. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, past trauma, or challenges with self-worth, I provide a supportive space to help you process, heal, and reconnect with your authentic self.
I integrate somatic practices into therapy to help clients connect with their bodies, release stored tension, and access deeper emotional awareness. With experience guiding individuals through breathwork, grounding exercises, and mindful movement. I help clients manage stress, process past trauma, and cultivate balance in both body and mind.
I use Internal Family Systems to help clients explore and understand the different parts of themselves that influence thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. With experience guiding high-achieving and driven individuals, I help clients identify and heal protective or critical parts, cultivate self-compassion, and create internal harmony, leading to greater clarity, balance, and emotional resilience.
I utilize mindfulness-based therapy to aide client in increasing awareness of their thoughts, feelings, and actions that hinders their progress. I enjoy utilizing mindfulness to help client embrace the here and now, the present moment. I find that this modality works well together with other modalities such as CBT.
I view Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as a structured therapy that encourages the patient to briefly focus on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation, which is associated with a reduction in emotion associated with the trauma memories. I guide clients in safely processing experiences that keep them feeling stuck, so they can reduce emotional reactivity, build self-trust, and move forward with greater confidence and peace.
I use a strength-based approach to help clients recognize and build on the resilience, wisdom, and skills they already possess. With experience supporting high-achieving and purpose-driven individuals, I focus on empowering clients to shift from self-criticism to self-compassion, uncover their inner resources, and create meaningful, lasting change from a place of confidence and authenticity.
