“My experience was very organized, prompt and smooth. I received the necessary documents to fill out and ensure my insurance was accepted before having to waste my time to travel in-person. I was seen immediately upon arrival. Nia has a very welcoming, calming and sure energy. Her authenticity allows for you to feel comfortable in showing up authentically as well. ”

Getting to know Nia Nanton
Nia Nanton is a Licensed Social Worker currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. They are employed at Serenium Cranford. Nia earned a Master's in Social Work from Rutgers University-New Brunswick.
I specialize in trauma-informed, attachment-based, and holistic mental health therapy for individuals aged 15 through the end of life. My work integrates evidence-based and somatic approaches to address trauma, emotional wounds, interpersonal challenges, and nervous system dysregulation. My modalities include:
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT): Helps process and reframe trauma-related thoughts and behaviors.
Psychodynamic Therapy: Explores unconscious patterns, past experiences, and relational dynamics.
Attachment Therapy: Focuses on relational wounds, attachment styles, and emotional security.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT): Strengthens emotional awareness, connection, and expression.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): Uses mindfulness and meditation techniques to reduce stress and increase self-awareness.
Somatic Experiencing: Addresses trauma stored in the body and supports nervous system regulation.
Yoga Therapy: Integrates movement, breathwork, and mindfulness to promote healing.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): Teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My ideal client is willing to engage in self-exploration and healing, whether they are navigating trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. They are open to holistic, mind-body
approaches and seek to deepen self-awareness, address root issues, and strengthen emotional and nervous system regulation.
Their goals include:
• Exploring psychodynamic and attachment-based patterns
• Strengthening interpersonal relationships
• Releasing emotional and somatic tension
• Improving communication and self-expression
• Cultivating self-compassion and empowerment
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to explore deep emotional wounds, shift unhealthy patterns,
and strengthen mind-body awareness.
My approach supports:
• Empowerment & self-trust through insight and behavioral shifts
• Emotional & somatic release to process and integrate trauma
• Improved interpersonal relationships through emotional expression and boundary-setting
• Nervous system support to reduce overwhelm, anxiety, and stress
