Sometimes You have to go IN to find OUT

Hi,

My name Is Nioosha (Knee-You-Shaw), Marriage and Family therapist based in Oakland, CA. I support clients navigate emotions through exploration of past and present experiences, with compassion and curiosity.

My Approach

My approach is holistic and integrative through various techniques and methods I have learned during the years of being a therapist, while also working with each individual system, this could look different. I have found Internal Family Systems (IFS) to be the most effective model in helping to understand and feel at harmony in how we show up in the world. It’s a gentle and empowering way to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and heal emotional wounds. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) is also another approach that is designed to help people process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences. When something really upsetting happens, sometimes the brain has trouble fully processing the event, leaving it "stuck" in the nervous system. This can cause ongoing emotional pain, anxiety, or other symptoms. EMDR works by helping the brain reprocess these stuck memories in a more adaptive way.
