Meet Weeda Nawabi
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist # 131440
Hi, I'm Weeda Nawabi. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and a certified EMDR therapist.
I work with adults, teenagers, and couples who have ongoing challenges with depression or anxiety, experienced tough situations in their childhood, been struggling in the aftermath of infidelity, are having strong feelings of grief over the loss of a loved one, and are having trouble communicating in their relationships.
My goal is to help individuals and couples to stop feeling overwhelmed and depressed, getting burnout, dwelling on negative thoughts, feeling numb, losing control of their lives, living in constant worry and fear and to help start empowering them to feel confident in learning about themselves, bringing the changes that make sense to them and their lives, and guiding them to their fulfilled lives.
My Journey To Becoming A Therapist
My own growth through personal life struggles has helped me relate so deeply with clients. As a war survivor, I have learned about uncertainties, life struggles, helplessness, and fear throughout my childhood years. I know what it is like to have difficult childhood experiences and still be affected by them well into adulthood. My life experiences are what lead me to become the therapist I am today.
Helping people fulfills my passion for connection.
Being a therapist is rewarding. I love guiding people towards their desired goals and witnessing them achieve more fulfilling lives. The most rewarding thing about being a therapist is knowing that I have accompanied them in their journey in healing and I had a part in helping them transform their life.
I have empathy, compassion, and genuine interest in helping others. I bring an open, non-judgmental, and accepting presence in the session. I have a natural ability to uncover what's under the surface.
People who know me often say that I am a good listener who can sit with others at their worst and hear them when they are in that space by helping them feel heard, seen, and understood.
As A Therapist, I Embrace These Philosophies
I believe that you are worthy of love and care
I believe that emotions heal when they are witnessed and validated
I believe that change is possible when you allow yourself the space to do the work
I believe that therapy should address the person as a whole -mind, body, and spirit
I believe that the biggest thing standing in your way is the fear that life always has to be the way that it is now
Our Sessions Are Focused On You
Our sessions will provide you with the space to be heard, understood, and seen, so you feel safe and comfortable to gain clarity about the issues at hand. It's important to me to provide a non-judgmental space where you can be yourself and create safety within session. There isn't a "one size fits all" approach to therapy. Our sessions will fit your specific needs and concerns.
