About me

As a licensed therapist with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate stress, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, and personal growth. I bring a compassionate and nuanced approach to addressing issues like communication barriers, self-worth, isolation, and life transitions.

My therapeutic work spans diverse experiences, including supporting women, men, young adults, veterans, and individuals facing multicultural challenges. I'm particularly skilled in helping clients work through difficult emotions such as guilt, shame, abandonment, and attachment concerns. My approach centers on empowering individuals to develop stronger self-understanding, healthier relationships, and more effective coping strategies.

I understand that each person's journey is unique, and I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and build resilience. Whether you're dealing with workplace stress, family dynamics, or personal transformation, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.

I recently had a session with Dr. Nakia Pascetti, and I can't express enough how positive my experience was. Right from the start, she established clear expectations and took the time to introduce herself in a way that made her expertise and personality easy to understand.

Dr. Pascetti is incredibly professional and engaging, making me feel comfortable as I navigated through my thoughts and feelings. What stood out to me was her thoughtful approach; she provided me with homework assignments designed to help her understand me better while also encouraging my own self-discovery.

Overall, I was very impressed with her dedication and the tools she provided. I genuinely look forward to our next session and continuing this valuable journey with her guidance. Highly recommended!
