Meet Our Clinicians

 Therapeutic Style

Warm, curious, and client-centered, Niusha brings an open-focus approach grounded in present-moment awareness and relational attunement. She invites clients into a space of safety and exploration where vulnerability and embodiment are seen as gateways to healing.

“The relationship itself is the process.”

Their work is rooted in the belief that therapy is not only about solving problems, but about deepening connection—to self, body, story, and meaning.

 What Matters Most in Therapy

For Niusha, the core of therapy is relational. They bring their full presence to the session and invite clients to become aware of what is unfolding emotionally and physically in the here-and-now. Healing emerges through this shared contact—slowly, honestly, and with respect for each person's pace and process.
