Pro Bono Counselors: Tacoma Neighborhood Clinic

Treatment approach

Hello! My name is Nitara, and I'm the social work program coordinator at the Neighborhood Clinic. As a licensed clinical social worker and therapist, I've worked with youth and adults to provide support in navigating struggles with anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. In particular, I have experience working closely with immigrant youth and families, adult survivors of sexual abuse, families affected by domestic violence, and youth in foster care. My approach is very client-centered, to support the people I work with in building insight into their own needs and strengths, and making connections between past experiences and current distress. I hope to create a safe and healing space where my clients feel respected, empowered, and supported throughout our time working together.
