Nina Cason, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I work with individuals who struggle with feelings of inadequacy or a negative self-image. Whether facing anxiety, depression, or the effects of trauma, I believe that becoming more attuned to one's thoughts, emotions, and body can be profoundly healing. I work with many neurodivergent and autistic people; some issues related to this work are: learning how to unmask, sensory exploration, identity/gender, independence, healing from trauma and little "T's", underemployment,  social and relational connections, and nervous system work. Of note, I am also a neurodivergent individual.

In sessions, I lean into helping clients with radical compassionate self-acceptance, rewriting old narratives, and integrating mind-body techniques to help individuals harness their energy and innate strengths. There are times in session when the focus is on practicing techniques to regulate the nervous system. I also believe in the healing power of humor.

The therapeutic relationship and building a trusting solid rapport is paramount to the therapy process. I want you to feel comfortable and we can go as slow or fast as needed. I draw from Narrative therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Polyvagal Theory, and Somatic techniques.
