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 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.

Something you may be curious about is why I became a therapist. There’s a long version and a short version, so I think I’ll give you the medium version. I’ve always enjoyed connecting with people. I have always enjoyed building relationships with others, and helping where and when I can. I can honestly say. I have a lot of life experiences that have helped me with being subjective, and have cultivated who I am today. During my journey, I was able to spend time with people who were different than me, which has helped expand my mind, understand, admire, and connect with people who have a wide variety of views, beliefs, and experiences. After I graduated college, I worked at a community mental health agency that has provided me with a lot of experiences in many different areas of mental health. It is a lot of work, but I am truly grateful for the opportunity to work with so many different people, and in different capacities. I am passionate about the human experience, and I currently see my mission as empowering others to explore their identity, discovering their authentic selves, and allow themselves to step into their truth. It is important to know I am on this journey of life myself! I’m not a therapist who thinks she has all the answers, or who’s going to give you my opinions as fact, or who will tell you exactly what you should do. I see my role as a dedicated partner here to collaborate with you and assist you in uncovering all the layers that make you who you are.

Therapy should be a safe place where you can open up and speak freely and honestly. My goal is to provide you with the best mental health care possible in a courteous and efficient manner. I understand your need for confidentiality, trust and respect. Whether you are looking for occasional consultations for specific issues or in-depth work on longstanding struggles, I would be delighted to help you.

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.

Therapeutically, I draw on Solution-focused & Client Centered Therapy, tailored to each individual client and grounded in a strong therapeutic relationship. During the counseling process, we will work together using a strengths and integrated perspective focusing on the whole person: mind, body and spirit. I view therapy as a sacred journey in which you and I will work collaboratively to identify what goals you want to achieve through the therapy process. My goal is to empower my clients and encourage growth throughout the counseling process in order to achieve a better quality of life. I often use humor to connect with my clients. I will provide you with a compassionate, supportive, and non-judgemental safe space in which we can openly talk about whatever brings you to counseling. Every individual is unique, and so are their life challenges. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting difficulties, or other everyday life stressors, reaching out to get help is the first step to hope and healing.
