Accepting New Clients

As a co-founder of NYCT, Nadia brings 27 years of experience to her work as a therapist and supervisor. Through her integrated use of talk, narrative work, art making and humor, Nadia helps couples and individuals deal with trauma, manage stress, relationships, and other growing pains. She believes that life's challenges are best met with patience, curiosity and self-compassion. Nadia understands that many struggles stem from social disease as well as internal conflicts, and therefore uses an approach that is informed by feminist, anti-racist and socially critical lenses.
As clinical director, she oversees and mentors staff in delivering the most effective services possible, with special attention to the unique needs and experience of each family, individual, and agency served.

Insurance Nadia can accept

“With curiosity and creativity, we can approach our most difficult moments in a way that invites us to stay long enough to find beauty, and hope. When we accept, rather than avoid, suffering, our experience of life becomes richer, deeper, and more authentic.”

Something that matters to me

As an eternal optimist, and a believer in love and the inherent goodness of people, I enjoy officiating weddings, and am a NYC registered wedding officiant. It’s a privilege to be a part of a couple’s most special day, and support their commitment to loving, growing, and facing life’s challenges together. I enjoy getting to know couples and their hopes for life together, and help them articulate a celebration that reflects their unique partnership, values, and beliefs.
