Ghadeer Nasser, LLPC

Hi there! My name is Ghadeer. That’s pronounced guh-deer. I’m a trauma-informed therapist, and I’m here to create a space where you or your child can begin to feel safe enough to be truly seen and supported.

As a therapist, I prioritize the relationship I build with the people I work with. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be honest, imperfect, and fully yourself without having to worry about being judged. I also want it to be a space that is genuinely helpful. I want the people I work with to leave sessions with a better understanding of themselves, new ways of approaching things, or something practical they can take with them.

In sessions with me, you can expect authenticity, curiosity, and collaboration. I don’t see myself as an authority figure in your life. Instead, I see therapy as something we figure out together. I bring my clinical training and experience, and you bring yourself. I think the best work happens when we can put those things together.

Ethical practice is also something I take seriously. I want the people I work with to understand why we’re doing something and feel like they have a voice in the process. I’m thoughtful about boundaries and the responsibility that comes with being invited into someone’s life in this way. For me, creating a sense of safety means being honest, respectful, and mindful of the trust that comes with the therapeutic relationship.

I draw from psychodynamic therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Emotion-Focused Therapy for couples, and mind-body approaches. I’m interested in understanding the bigger picture of what someone is experiencing and how their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and past experiences can all be connected.

I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and have particular interests in anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, nervous system dysregulation, relationships, couples work, emotional regulation, self-esteem, life transitions, and patterns of caring for other people at the expense of yourself. More than anything, I enjoy working with people who are curious about themselves and want to understand themselves a little better.

Outside of work, you can find me trail running, snuggling my perfect Australian Shepherd mix, Atlas, reading, or enjoying a chicken shawarma with extra garlic sauce. I look forward to the opportunity to be a part of this chapter in you or your child’s life!
