Hello! My name is Naquasha Riser, LPC. I have 18 years of experience as a behavioral and mental health professional. I am a compassionate and experienced therapist dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges and improve their emotional well-being. Utilizing a flexible, eclectic approach, I draw from various therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Narrative Therapy, to tailor my interventions to your unique needs. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or personal growth, I'm here to support you in achieving lasting positive change and finding greater fulfillment in your life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. We'll start by discussing your reasons for seeking therapy and what you hope to achieve. I'll ask questions to gain a deeper understanding of your background, current challenges, and goals. We'll also discuss confidentiality and the therapeutic process, so you feel informed and empowered throughout our sessions. By the end of our first meeting, you'll have a clearer sense of how therapy can help you and a plan for moving forward.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a provider, I believe my greatest strengths lie in: Empathy and Compassion: I deeply empathize with my clients and strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where they feel heard, understood, and valued. Versatility and Adaptability: With a diverse toolkit of therapeutic techniques and approaches, I can tailor my interventions to meet the unique needs and preferences of each client. Collaborative Approach: I view therapy as a collaborative partnership, where clients are active participants in their own healing journey. I value their input and feedback and work together with them to set and achieve meaningful goals. Holistic Perspective: I consider the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit in promoting overall well-being, and I integrate this holistic perspective into my therapeutic work. Continuous Growth and Learning: I am committed to ongoing professional development, staying updated on the latest research and best practices to ensure that I provide the highest quality of care to my clients.
