Nanisi Watkins
Mental Health Counselor: Kids, Teens, Young Adults & Family Communication Coaching
Service Description
As a licensed counselor, I help children, teens, and young adults learn to express their emotions, thoughts, and needs healthily and confidently. Growing up can be overwhelming, and it’s not always easy to put feelings into words—especially when opening up to parents feels difficult. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where young people can talk freely about their struggles, fears, and experiences without judgment. I assist young individuals in addressing anxiety, depressed moods, peer pressure, identity challenges, and emotional distress through therapeutic approaches, including emotion identification, grounding strategies, coping skills training, safety planning, and positive reinforcement. I also offer special support for those struggling with suicidal thoughts and self-harm, always with care, understanding, and guidance to develop healthy coping strategies. My goal is to help young people build emotional strength, gain confidence, and feel more empowered. In addition to working with individuals, I also offer family communication coaching. Through family sessions, I create a safe space where everyone can express their feelings, talk through issues, and learn healthy communication. These sessions help strengthen relationships, improve understanding, and build a supportive home environment. By offering a comfortable space, I help young people develop strong communication skills, emotional awareness, and self-confidence. My mission is to ensure they feel supported, understood, and equipped to navigate life’s ups and downs—whether alone or with family.
