“All of those above therapy style descriptors — holistic, warm, intelligent, challenging, empowering, authentic, open-minded, solution oriented, humorous — fit for therapy with Nina, in my opinion. She’s wonderful and very engaged. I feel more understood and feel safer in therapy with them than I have in a long time. This is the first time in more than 10 years that I actually look forward to therapy, and I don’t feel drained by it like I used to.”

Getting to know Nina Romá Agvanian
Hello! I'm Nina, a Licensed Clinical Therapist with a Master's in Social Work from Tulane University and over 17 years of experience in trauma intervention. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a rape crisis counselor, a trauma-healing self-defense instructor, and a trauma-informed care consultant for non-profits.
I approach therapy using multiple modalities. I believe in the mind-body connection and integrate mindfulness and body-based interventions where needed, including a focus on the physiology of stress and emotions. I use a wholistic approach to therapy, exploring all your identities, ambivalences, and values, and believe that understanding your upbringing and cultures is critical to how you cope and relate to the world and yourself in it.
I specialize in working with trauma survivors, specifically with people from the following communities:
adult children of multicultural, biracial, and immigrant families
LGBTQIA+
survivors of sexual abuse/assault
veterans
people seeking sex and intimacy support and exploration (including those practicing kink and non-monogamy).
More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

I have never had a therapist who I feel cares and actually wants me to improve myself. Best therapist I’ve had :)
