It’s been said, it’s not the load that breaks us down, but the way we carry it (Anonymous).
Is it getting harder for you to carry your load? If so, let’s work together to unpack your load (beliefs), and reorganize your possessions (thoughts) to not only lighten the burden but also leave ample room for a brighter future!
I support children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and groups to address emotional lability, behavior difficulties, anxiety, depression, anger management, trauma, conflict resolution, problem-solving, and personal growth. I have an educational and professional background in the juvenile justice system, battered women’s shelters, psychology, and public education.
During the therapy process, I assist clients in discovering dysfunctional thought patterns and developing healthy ones. In doing so, clients will uncover their strengths, build support systems, and develop healthy thought patterns to build the foundation for life's success. My question to you is, are you ready to unpack?

Dr. Nina Enriquez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing psychotherapy for over 13 years. I received my doctorate from USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work. You will find I am a pretty laid back individual yet I will challenge your awareness to reflect and learn why we behave the way we do. This helps to create positive change. I work with individuals of all ages. I provide individual, family, and couples therapy sessions. I specialize in the area of grief, loss, traumatic grief and traumatic bereavement. We will all experience loss in our lives. Loss of health, lifestyle, divorce, a break-up, self-image, identity, trust, faith, death and much more. Grief is a natural response to loss but when we don't know how to manage or cope from grief, we may be at risk of developing a mental health disorder. In therapy, telling your story is vital to growth. Your story is important to express, release and find the root cause that lead to the challenges you have faced in life. Another vital component of therapy is increasing your awareness of the strengths you have. A crisis or stressful event may blind us from strengths we used before to overcome. You will learn different coping strategies and will provide handouts plus worksheets. This is to help you begin to take the steps in self-discovery, reflection, and find the person who were are truly meant to be.

January 1, 2020 I celebrated the new year with friends and family. Like many of you, I had a whole laundry list of resolutions for how to "live my best life," while juggling family and a career. That all came to a screeching halt as schools, businesses, and communities shut down across the country due to COVID-19. And like you, I had to completely re-evaluate my personal and professional life and make a whole new list of priorities.
The Pandemic may be over, but many are still fighting an epidemic of anxiety, depression, self-doubt, lost intimacy, and social isolation. I began private practice in 2021 as part of my commitment to helping people and organizations to accelerate healing and growth from our collective trauma (with a Big "T"). My vision is centered on "helping clients live the lives they want and love the lives they live."
My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral, Narrative, and Solution-Focused therapies with training in Emotion Focused, Gottman, and Sex Therapy. My work centers cultural humility - I listen and seek to understand clients' beliefs and experiences, clarify goals and, importantly, find solutions to life’s challenges.

We are faced with challenges and changes in life constantly and making adjustments as we pivot to meet expectations of family, community, and work often leads to a sense of depletion and no time to care for self.

Developing a strong relationship with self; defining your boundaries, recognizing your value systems and how they pertain to your way of being in this messy world are the staples to grounding yourself mentally.
You are enough, you are deserving, and whatever you are dealing with now I'll meet you there. Let's work together to find tools that are intrinsically yours and get to a better you.

Round Rock, TX - Accepting clients in TX
Hello! I'm a licensed clinical social worker and work with adults 18+. When getting to know new clients, it's important to show curiosity, empathy and positive regard. The therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of therapy and I work hard to make my clients feel seen and understood. My favorite interventions include grounding and mindfulness exercises. Further, we will work on the development of more resource, more safety and autonomy and clear communication skills including boundary work. My goal is for you to feel less alone with your struggles.
My areas of specialization include childhood trauma, church hurt and queer issues, including family estrangement. I'm a member of the LGBTQ+ community and offer an inclusive, safe and accepting space. My practice is also sex-positive, gender-affirming and anti-racist.
If any of this resonates with you, please go to my website to schedule an initial, no cost consultation call. I look forward to speaking with you!
