About me

ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Nyla. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology from the University of New Orleans and a Master of Social Work degree from Yeshiva University in New York City.

Seeking therapy can be overwhelming. Having a therapist that is compassionate, empathetic, respectful but also willing to challenge beliefs is important and many of my clients have expressed that I hold these qualities. I am a down to earth person that strives to do everything I can to “get you”. I know that someone telling their story and really being heard is in itself healing. Adding the tools, support, insight and coping skills aid in the healing process. My passion is helping others advance towards their full potential. I believe that your past does not indicate your future.

Thanks for reaching out!

She hears me and offers compassion as well as spot-on advice that stems from her extensive experience.

Nyla has been so helpful… I look forward to our sessions. It is so wonderful to have someone that I can talk to about everything. And someone to help hold me accountable for my own actions and healing.

I like her style which is conversational. She gives me different perspectives to consider. She challenges me but is also is able to hear me out when I’m not feeling understood. She is empathetic and sweet.

She also has provided handouts and worksheets that are helpful. I also picked her for her specialty areas which we have incorporated into our sessions and appreciate that she is knowledgeable in my mental health needs.

Nyla has helped me progress through very stressful time in my life. She supports me and helps me tackle issues in my life, like grief of possible loss, social anxiety, and general anxiety

I have had a few sessions with Dr. Nyla now and I have to say that I feel very comfortable with her. She is very down to earth and extremely warm in her approach. I have been able to be completely honest with her and start to ask myself the questions that are very tough. She has many helpful suggestions and always responded very quickly to my messages. When I first joined I was very surprised how attentive she was to my needs before our first appointment. I was in full blown crisis mode and not able to find anyone to help me. She took the time to make me comfortable. She struck me as a very genuine person and has made me feel comfortable in talking about my past. I have highly recommend her and this platform to several people now. I think there are many tools on here that are not threatening, guided by your own personal pace and thought provoking. I absolutely will continue to feel comfortable in continuing my sessions with Dr. Nyla. She really is the best!!
