Greetings! My name is Dr. Nyasha and I use a holistic, eclectic, strengths based approach when working with clients. This entails embracing the "whole person" and making efforts to understand how all aspects of each person's life impacts their daily functioning. It is important to identify strengths and interest in order to draw upon these components, enabling the development of a comprehensive approach to treatment, which is custom and unique for each individual. I have worked with diverse populations to include; military members and their families via Military OneSource EAP, survivors of sexual assault/domestic violence, addiction (SAP) and various life transitions. Individuals should feel empowered to live their best lives, while continuing to build skills to help them overcome life's challenges with confidence. It would be my honor to assist you in further defining your goals as well as supporting you as you work towards achieving your best life! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Washington, DC and VA. I am also an Internationally Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP), Certified Case Manager (CCM) and DOT SAP. I am able to provide consultation to assist with; FMLA, ADA accommodations, STD/LTD and EEOC claims.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Review intake and assessments in order to begin treatment plan development. Begin to build a rapport and learn about each other to ensure that it is a "good fit". I can also assist with additional medication referrals as needed, I am not a Prescriber. *Additional fees apply for paperwork completion as needed****There will be no completion of any FMLA, disability, other paperwork, or letters of support unless your therapist has met with you for at least 3-5 sessions. We also will not complete any FMLA or disability paperwork if we do not believe we can support it based on what you have presented at intake and during sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I enjoy using my talents, skills, passion, life experience and creativity to support others as they move towards fulfilling their fullest potential and ability. If you are seeking a supportive, non-judgmental, empathetic listener, then please reach out for further assistance. It takes courage to take that first step to become more empowered, confident and strong. I am a cannabis-affirmative Therapist
