Nazha Kuno, Registered Mental Health Counseling intern

Hi, my name is Nazha. I am 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 others. In today’s fast-paced and demanding world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and isolated while trying to juggle everything. Together, we will explore the tools and coping skills you need to overcome challenges and cultivate meaningful relationships: whether it’s with friends, family or significant others. I believe that happiness is found in embracing the full spectrum of human emotions, even the difficult ones, and that true freedom comes from having the courage to live fully.

I obtained my undergraduate degree in fine arts and my masters in mental health counseling. As an artist I love to incorporate art therapy exercises, offering a scenic, and often fun route to your goals. I am EMDRia trained and specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, addiction, bicultural & immigrant challenges, women’s issues, multicultural family dynamics, relationships, and career counseling. I have expertise in non-monogamy, polyamory, and alternative lifestyles. I work with individuals and couples.

My therapeutic approach is grounded, client-centered, goal-oriented, holistic, and mindful. I lean on the Buddhist doctrine of impermanence, which teaches that everything is in a constant state of change, that nothing is permanent. By embracing this, we become more present and better at adapting to change and letting go.

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 overcome 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 are a good fit.

Some of my favorite quotes:

“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards’ – Soren 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.”
