Hello, I’m Nafisah Downs, a dedicated Licensed Social Worker (LSW) and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC). My passion lies in supporting individuals from all walks of life as they face challenges such as substance use, addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, anger management, adjustment difficulties, and grief and loss. With a deep commitment to fostering growth and healing, I bring a compassionate, culturally sensitive, and personalized approach to each therapeutic journey.

My aim is to help individuals, couples, and families uncover their inner strengths and achieve meaningful personal growth within a safe, supportive, and confidential space. Therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to navigate life’s complexities, build resilience, and embrace positive change. By tailoring sessions to your unique needs, we’ll develop strategies that empower you to overcome obstacles and live the life you envision with confidence and purpose.

Recognizing that each person’s journey is unique, I employ an eclectic approach to therapy, blending techniques that resonate with my clients and integrate seamlessly into their everyday lives. Grounded in empathy, respect, and ethical practices, I am committed to building meaningful relationships and creating an environment that fosters trust, understanding, and empowerment. Together, we can create a path toward healing and well-being that feels authentic and attainable for you.

I became a therapist because I believe in the transformative power of connection and care. Growing up in a close-knit community, I saw how listening, and empathy could help people overcome challenges. My own experiences of resilience and healing inspired me to support others in their journeys. I value teamwork and perseverance, lessons I bring into my practice, where collaboration and a belief in your strength are key.

Outside of therapy, cheer passionately for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and immerse myself in epic fantasy worlds.  

With over 20 years of experience in social work and two years in clinical practice, I bring a wealth of knowledge and dedication to my clients.

I hold a Master of Social Work degree from Rutgers University.
