What Nalu Therapy, LLC. Offers

Hello, and welcome to Nalu Therapy, LLC. My name is Jessie Szmanda, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC). 

I specialize in mental health therapy with a focus on trauma care, supporting children, families, individuals with addiction, those with a history of incarceration, and adults with autism.

I am passionate about providing a safe, empathetic space for individuals to heal and grow. I understand the complexities of mental health and the unique challenges faced by children, families, and adults, including those on the autism spectrum. My commitment is to offer compassionate care tailored to each individual's needs.

In my practice, I utilize a holistic approach rooted in unconditional positive regard and acceptance. I believe that every person is deserving of love and support, no matter their past experiences or current struggles. My goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable sharing their stories and exploring their emotions.

With extensive experience in trauma care, addiction recovery, and supporting those reentering society after incarceration, I understand the profound impact these experiences can have on mental health. I strive to address both the physical and emotional aspects of my clients' experiences, believing that true healing involves the whole person.

Working with children and families is a significant part of my practice. I am dedicated to helping young clients navigate their emotions and challenges, and to providing families with the tools they need to support their loved ones. Additionally, I have a special interest in supporting adults with autism, understanding the unique perspectives and strengths they bring.
