Nazha Kuno, Registered Mental Health Counseling intern
Hi, my name is Nazha. I’m an ambidextrous, split-brained, South Asian American artist and therapist.
I invite you to take a deep breath and be yourself. My mission is to help you discover greater meaning and passion for life, and to connect deeply with yourself and others. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, isolated, and disconnected. Together, we’ll explore tools and insights to help you overcome challenges, cultivate healthy relationships, and create a life aligned with your values.
As a South Asian therapist, I integrate Eastern philosophy with Western psychology to create a balanced, holistic approach to healing. I also identify as neurodivergent, and I understand and support clients who see and experience the world differently—including those on the spectrum or managing ADHD.
As both an artist and a trauma therapist, I use creative pathways like art therapy and dream rescripting to help you heal, release, and rebuild. I specialize in EMDR, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, cultural identity and family dynamics, women’s issues, and relationships—including non-monogamy and polyamory. My background includes an undergraduate degree in Fine Arts and a master’s in Mental Health Counseling.
My therapeutic approach is grounded, client-centered, and mindful. I draw from the Buddhist principle of impermanence—the idea that everything is in constant change. By embracing this truth, we learn to stay present, adapt to what life brings, and let go of what no longer serves us.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I know it’s hard to ask for help. Without the support of wonderful therapists who helped me heal from my own trauma and anxiety, I wouldn’t be here to give back today. I empathize and understand.
Call me for a free consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
Some of my favorite quotes:
“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” – Søren Kierkegaard
“Courage does not always roar. Sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow.’”
“Your purpose has to be greater than your pain.”
“Sometimes you have to sit on both sides of the fence before deciding which side you want to stay on.”
“Worrying will not protect me from the future. It will only keep me from living here and now.”
