Nia Nanton, Licensed Social Worker

I specialize in trauma-informed, attachment-based, and holistic mental health therapy for individuals aged 15 through the end of life. My work integrates evidence-based and somatic approaches to address trauma, emotional wounds, interpersonal challenges, and nervous system dysregulation. My modalities include: Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT): Helps process and reframe trauma-related thoughts and behaviors. Psychodynamic therapy: Explores unconscious patterns, past experiences, and relational dynamics. Attachment therapy: Focuses on relational wounds, attachment styles, and emotional security. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT): Strengthens emotional awareness, connection, and expression. Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR): Uses mindfulness and meditation techniques to reduce stress and increase self-awareness. Somatic Experiencing: Addresses trauma stored in the body and supports nervous system regulation. Yoga therapy: Integrates movement, breathwork, and mindfulness to promote healing. Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT): Teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. My ideal client is willing to engage in self-exploration and healing, whether they are navigating trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. They are open to a holistic, mind-body approach and seek to deepen self-awareness, address root issues, and strengthen emotional and nervous system regulation. Their goals include: Exploring psychodynamic and attachment-based patterns. Strengthening interpersonal relationships. Releasing emotional and somatic tension. Improving communication and self-expression. Cultivating self-compassion and empowerment. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to explore deep emotional wounds, shift unhealthy patterns, and strengthen mind-body awareness. My approach supports: Empowerment and self-trust through insight and behavioral shifts. Emotional and somatic release to process and integrate trauma. Improved interpersonal relationships through. emotional expression and boundary-setting. Nervous system support to reduce overwhelm, anxiety, and stress.

Healing is a journey of self-discovery and transformation, and you don't have to do it alone. If you're feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed, therapy can provide the tools and guidance to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and emotionally attuned. Together, we'll work toward lasting change and deeper self-awareness. If you're ready to start, I invite you to reach out. I'd be honored to support you on your path.
