Dr. Tina Nawaz

I have over 15 years of experience providing individual and group therapy to children, adolescents, and adults in correctional, inpatient, and private practice settings. Additionally, I am a certified clinical anxiety treatment professional and a certified grief counseling specialist. My current passion lies in supporting parents through the challenges and transitions of parenthood, with a particular focus on working with families of children who present with a PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance/Pervasive Drive for Autonomy) profile of autism spectrum disorder and/or ADHD. I approach this work with deep empathy, aiming to help parents build skills, foster intentionality, and feel truly seen in their experience.

Therapeutically, I utilize an integrative approach with techniques from various treatment modalities, including cognitive behavioral, client-centered, mindfulness, internal family systems, and positive psychology. I strongly believe the client-therapist match and the therapeutic alliance are the most significant contributors to the outcome of therapy. I collaborate closely with each client to develop a personalized path toward growth, healing, and resilience.

Everyone deserves to feel felt and be seen. I am dedicated to creating a warm, safe, and culturally sensitive space where clients feel deeply validated and supported. I see it as a profound privilege to accompany individuals on their journey toward self-discovery, empowerment, and inner alignment.

You have taken the first and most courageous step. I commend you for that and I look forward to the opportunity to join you.
