Awhona (Nina) Sanyal, MA, LPC

I work with individuals and couples build stronger, more connected relationships with others and with themselves. My practice is rooted in compassion, cultural awareness, and understanding. I specialize in working with women and members of the BIPOC community, especially those navigating multicultural identities as immigrants, first-generation, or multilingual individuals. I know firsthand how powerful it is to feel truly seen and supported in therapy. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and deeply valued so that you can show up fully in your life and relationships. My approach focuses on fostering stronger relationships and resolving conflict. I'm here to support you through life transitions such as break ups, marriage, pregnancy, moving cross country, and career changes. I also have experience working with depression and anxiety, relationship and attachment issues, griefloss, and more. I understand the courage it takes to seek help and make changes. It may feel challenging now but you’re not alone in this journey. Through our collaborative work, you’ll feel empowered, heard, and respected. If you’re ready to start this transformative process, I invite you to reach out. Let’s work together to nurture a happier, more fulfilling life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northern Arizona University and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Arizona State University.

I understand that starting therapy can bring up feelings of uncertainty or concern. It's completely natural to feel that way, especially when starting something new. I want to assure you that therapy is a collaborative and supportive process. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. We'll work together to identify goals and strategies that feel right for you. Your well-being and comfort are my top priorities, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. If you have any questions or concerns at any point, please feel free to share them with me. Your voice and perspective are valued in our work together!
