Na-Amau Tahiru

My communication style

My communication style fosters a collaborative partnership, ensuring that you feel actively involved in the therapeutic process. I encourage open dialogue, empowering you to request specific approaches or create a space that feels most comfortable. I prioritize a nonjudgmental and supportive environment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have supported individuals and families through brief, supportive counseling while connecting them with long-term mental health resources. This experience has given me valuable insight into the deep connection between physical and mental health and the importance of having a compassionate space to manage life's stressors.

My goals for you

I promote a collaborative partnership by empowering you to set your own goals. For those unsure of their direction, I use active listening, open-ended questions, and gentle challenges to help you gain clarity and define meaningful objectives for your therapeutic journey.

Our first session

The first session focuses on building rapport and creating a comfortable, welcoming space. I begin by introducing myself and my therapeutic approach, allowing ample time for you to share your reasons for seeking therapy. The goal is to help you feel at ease and understand that therapy is a safe, supportive space.
