Nina Batista, LCSW

Psychotherapist
FL
Specializing in helping survivors of narcissistic abuse and individuals navigating complex relationship challenges, Nina brings both professional expertise and lived understanding to her work. She is trained under world-renowned narcissism expert Dr. Ramani Durvasula and certified in complex trauma & DBT. My approach I believe healing from narcissistic abuse isn’t about “just getting over it.” It’s about truly understanding what happened, breaking free from the trauma bond, and rebuilding a life where you feel safe, confident, and in control. I bring a mix of compassion, directness, and no-nonsense truth-telling, so you feel both supported and empowered. My work is rooted in evidence-based practices like DBT, trauma-informed care, and my specialized training in narcissistic abuse recovery—combined with lived experience, so I genuinely get what you’re going through. My focus No two survivors heal the same way. Some clients need a safe space to process and be heard without judgment. Others need concrete tools, step-by-step strategies, and accountability. I meet you exactly where you are—whether you’re still untangling the confusion, struggling to go no contact, or ready to reclaim your confidence—and adapt the pace, techniques, and focus to fit your specific needs and goals. My communication style Think of me as the best friend who tells you the truth you need to hear, but with compassion. I’m warm, relatable, and easy to talk to—yet I won’t let you stay stuck in patterns that hurt you. I’ll validate your feelings, give you straight answers without the therapy jargon, and make sure every conversation moves you closer to the life you want. My goals for you We’ll work together to untangle the confusion so you can see the abuse for what it is and stop blaming yourself. Break the trauma bond so you stop craving their approval and start trusting your own judgment. Rebuild your sense of self so you feel strong, confident, and in control of your future.
