She has a variety of hands-on training in therapeutic and clinical settings for over 20 years. With many years of experience in treatment, she tries her best to provide a nurturing environment for her clients by creating a therapeutic alliance with confidentiality and appropriate empathy.
Nakisa uses different approaches and combinations in therapeutic sessions. This is due to the uniqueness of the client and their needs to achieve faster results in a short time, or deeper results and the desire for deeper cognition. She helps clients discover these through the therapeutic modality best suited to their unique situation, needs, and values. Therefore, she uses Cognitive Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Short-Term Analytic Psychotherapy for individual and systemic approaches for couples and families.
Nakisa offers family counselling, individual counselling, and couples counselling, with particular experience supporting clients through crisis management, grief, loss and bereavement, and anger management.
Her approach draws on narrative therapy and CBT, alongside DBT depending on each client’s needs.
Nakisa sees clients in person at our North Vancouver Quay (Esplanade/Lonsdale) location, as well as through virtual care for clients anywhere in BC.
