My theoretical approach to counseling emphasizes the collaboration between therapist and client together; the client is helped to discover misconceptions about themselves as it relates to his/her thoughts and beliefs using therapeutic techniques of practice and developing coping skills to be used in "the moment." I'm an empathetic, accepting, and genuine, who focuses on encouragement of a person’s self-awareness, exploration of the here and now and assist in resolving problems. Integrating techniques proven to be evidenced based practices based on clients individual needs to promote positive outcomes of where the client wants to be.

Accepting new clients for daytime only. Are you someone who usually loves to help others, but suddenly you are just so tired? Are you feeling burnt out? Exhausted? Overthinking and questioning everything? It's easy to stay busy all the time and sometimes when we say "yes" to all the things we love to do, we might find ourselves being just TOO busy. When you get busy, overwhelmed, and overstimulated, that's when you start to snap at the people you love, or find yourself wanting to just be left alone.

Hi, I'm Nadiya! Growing up is a time of wonder and challenges. Sometimes these challenges need a little help from a child therapist. I approach therapy for young people as an opportunity for them to grow from the challenges of life, develop a stronger sense of self, and feel more secure and connected to themselves and the world around them. Through therapy, they can develop a toolbox within themselves, an anchor, to always come back to as they continue to grow and successfully take on challenges. I hope through their time in therapy, they honor their capacity and strengths.

Horizon Integrated Wellness Group, PLLC was developed with the idea that peoples' struggles and challenges are not a reflection of them having failed in their lives, but rather, an array of experiences, exchanges, and relationships the individual has in the context of some or all of them. We offer a unique approach that considers people's relationships, families, work/career, and the implications/barriers they may have on an individual's well-being, resilience, empowerment, their happiness, and ultimately their self-acceptance/self-love.

Infidelity? Porn addiction? Sex addiction? Trauma? These issues can be tough to deal with, but I can help. I have specialized training so that you're not wasting your time and money. Not just talk, talk, talk that gets you nowhere. I used evidence-based treatments so that you're feeling better soon. As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), a Certified Partner Trauma Therapist (CPTT), and a Certified Multiple Addiction Therapist (CMAT), I'm trained in many addictions and compulsive behavior, as well as substance addictions. Most therapists aren't trained in all these issues. I offer EMDR trauma therapy, as well. There is hope.
