I am Nitza, licensed mental health counselor dedicated to supporting women through challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, divorce, and inner child healing. My goal is to help women overcome mental obstacles and empower them to heal from the past, leading them towards a more balanced and fulfilling life. Going through a divorce or separation can be very challenging, but it is also an opportunity for growth and empowerment. This is one of the topics we address in therapy. Immediately availability!

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

In your first session with me, you can expect a relaxed, calm, and judgment-free environment. As soon as we connect online, I will ensure you feel welcomed and comfortable in this virtual space. Our session will begin with a warm introduction and a brief overview of how the session will proceed. You will have the opportunity to share your story, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. I will listen attentively with empathy and without judgment, fostering a safe space for you to express yourself freely. We will discuss your mental health history and explore your immediate concerns, whether they are related to anxiety, depression, or inner child wounds. Together, we will outline your therapy goals and discuss possible approaches tailored to your needs. By the end of the session, my aim is for you to feel heard, understood, and hopeful about our journey ahead.

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

As a mental health provider, my greatest strengths lie in my ability to listen deeply and empathetically, ensuring that every client feels heard and understood. I pride myself on being a good listener, creating a safe space where clients can openly express their thoughts and emotions. My empathy allows me to connect with clients on a profound level, understanding their experiences and feelings with genuine compassion. I also bring a strong cultural awareness to my practice, recognizing and respecting the diverse backgrounds and unique perspectives of each client. This cultural sensitivity enables me to provide more personalized and effective support, tailored to each individual's needs and experiences. Additionally, my commitment to ongoing professional development ensures that I stay informed about the latest therapeutic techniques and approaches, allowing me to offer the best possible care. These strengths combine to create a nurturing and supportive environment for healing and growth.
