“Growth begins with the courage to take the first step”

NNEKA SYMISTER, LCSW

Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about me.
I’m Nneka Symister, a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience in social services, including the last decade spent in private practice. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, including those experiencing homelessness, individuals with dual diagnoses, teenage mothers, and couples needing to reconnect.

I believe in a therapeutic approach that is centered around you, the individual/s. My work is grounded in the belief that each person has the inherent capacity to shape their own life and define the person they wish to become. Whether it’s navigating challenging emotions, overcoming past struggles, or achieving new goals, my aim is to empower you to take charge of your mental and emotional well-being.

I specialize in working with clients who are facing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, infertility, grief and loss, relationship challenges, and various other life stressors. My approach is eclectic, drawing from proven modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), interpersonal therapy, mindfulness, stress management techniques, and meditation. Together, we’ll work to tailor an approach that meets your unique needs.

I’m passionate about helping you break free from limiting patterns, heal from past wounds, and cultivate the life you envision. If you’re ready to begin your journey of self-discovery and transformation, I invite you to reach out to me for a consultation. Let’s work together to create a path forward that brings you peace, growth, and fulfillment.
