She offers individual therapy, family therapy, group therapy, intensive outpatient services, case management, and support for substance use recovery.
Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based interventions, Nafiso helps patients strengthen resilience, improve emotional regulation, and develop practical skills for managing stress and daily challenges. She also provides care for individuals experiencing additional mental health concerns beyond her primary specialty areas.
