Nina Iraheta

Licensed Professional Counselor

“An accepting, calming therapist predominantly working with emerging adults and teens.”

About Me

I offer a calm, accepting space for emerging adults and teens. We can gently explore thoughts and feelings together, helping you navigate the unique challenges of these formative years. My approach welcomes you to truly be yourself, making sense of your experiences without judgment. This supportive environment is ideal for young people seeking clarity and confidence as they shape their path.

Approach

You’ll find sessions move at a gentle pace, combining steady curiosity with simple mindfulness to notice patterns in thoughts and moods. In my Bartlett office or via English-language video sessions, we keep things predictable: brief check-ins, focused reflection, and small between-session practices you choose together. I use clear, concrete steps when anxiety, mood shifts, or self-doubt feel overwhelming, tracking progress so adjustments feel collaborative and manageable. This way of working tends to suit teens and young adults who want steady support while finding their own voice.
