Much like the word “nest” that Nido represents, your safety is vital to us. We value working together to discover and create what is best for your safety, both physically and emotionally. We strive to provide an environment where you can be yourself without fear of judgment or rejection. 

Your identity and experiences are affirmed and supported. Outside of our therapy sessions, we are deeply committed to advocating for you and others in the world around us. This advocacy extends beyond the 50-minute sessions, as we take action in the streets through protests, by signing petitions, and by calling on representatives to enact meaningful change. We speak out in our day-to-day lives, challenging harmful norms, educating others, and raising awareness on issues that affect our clients and communities.

Our commitment to justice, equity, and care is embedded in how we live, work, and engage with the world, ensuring that our support for your safety and well-being reaches far beyond the walls of our practice.

We hope that as you begin to build a sense of safety and trust with us, you’ll take the leap into discovering more about yourself: your inner world, your past wounding, and your vision for the future. Our therapists take a depth-oriented, Integrated Psychodynamic approach, helping you explore the unconscious patterns, relational dynamics, and emotional landscapes that shape your life. When we begin to shed light on the things we may have kept in the dark, we move toward deeper healing.

We believe in the interconnectedness of the human psyche to many other real-world factors: privilege, genetics, environment, generational trauma, inequality, personal preference, neurotype, physicality and abilities, cultural background, and beyond.

Our therapists take a depth-oriented approach, recognizing that healing requires more than symptom management — it involves exploring underlying wounds, long-held narratives, and the complexities of your emotional life. Our aim is always to acknowledge, consider, and honor this interconnectedness when providing care. 

We also believe that psychotherapy is both extremely valuable and just one of the many parts of quality mental health care. Utilizing resources and perspectives outside of licensed therapists, such as community supports, doulas, psychiatrists, dietitians, and other therapy-adjacent resources, is important to how we approach holistic care.

From the way we incorporate our pay structure to the way we acknowledge the land our office rests on and the inequities of care for marginalized communities, we strive for greater inclusivity in everything we do. We take our commitment to an ever-present learning mindset seriously; we are always willing to expand the ways we can understand and do better in order to make Nido a safe and accessible place for all people.
