Thanks for reading my profile. I believe that our mental wellness is the core of our overall health. Every individual is their best advocate, but sometimes we all need to be motivated and empowered. Therefore, I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy from a client-centered, strengths perspective.

“Mrs. Brenda Nash is the fourth therapist I’ve seen. She is BY FAR the BEST for me! Here are three reasons why: First, she fully understood my situation because she’s seen it herself. Secondly, on the second session she completely laid out a plan for my journey with healing (something the others did not do). Lastly, her soft skills, attention to detail, and follow up behavior are completely amazing!”
