ABOUT ME
Hi, my name is Nyla. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology from the University of New Orleans and a Master of Social Work degree from Yeshiva University in New York City.
Seeking therapy can be overwhelming. Having a therapist that is compassionate, empathetic, respectful but also willing to challenge beliefs is important and many of my clients have expressed that I hold these qualities. I am a down to earth person that strives to do everything I can to “get you”. I know that someone telling their story and really being heard is in itself healing. Adding the tools, support, insight and coping skills aid in the healing process. My passion is helping others advance towards their full potential. I believe that your past does not indicate your future.
Thanks for reaching out!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Amazing therapist. Very personable and experienced.
She is truly a great listener while giving sound advice to help me navigate through various issues. She makes it easy to talk to her without any judgment.
Probably the best therapist I have ever had. She is very sweet and friendly. She has helped me through some difficult times.
Nyla is an amazing therapist and has helped me change my life for the better. She has taught me how to set boundaries, to not tolerate abuse from others, and how to trust in myself. She is a great listener, asks the right questions, and has never judged me. I am incredibly grateful to have found her as a therapist!
She hears me and offers compassion as well as spot-on advice that stems from her extensive experience.
Nyla has been so helpful… I look forward to our sessions. It is so wonderful to have someone that I can talk to about everything. And someone to help hold me accountable for my own actions and healing.
I like her style which is conversational. She gives me different perspectives to consider. She challenges me but is also is able to hear me out when I’m not feeling understood. She is empathetic and sweet. She also has provided handouts and worksheets that are helpful. I also picked her for her specialty areas which we have incorporated into our sessions and appreciate that she is knowledgeable in my mental health needs.
She is thoughtful and insightful with her understanding of my clinical course. Really appreciate the insights and very happy with my progress.
Nyla has helped me progress through very stressful time in my life. She supports me and helps me tackle issues in my life, like grief of possible loss, social anxiety, and general anxiety
I have had a few sessions with Dr. Nyla now and I have to say that I feel very comfortable with her. She is very down to earth and extremely warm in her approach. I have been able to be completely honest with her and start to ask myself the questions that are very tough. She has many helpful suggestions and always responded very quickly to my messages. When I first joined I was very surprised how attentive she was to my needs before our first appointment. I was in full blown crisis mode and not able to find anyone to help me. She took the time to make me comfortable. She struck me as a very genuine person and has made me feel comfortable in talking about my past. I have highly recommend her and this platform to several people now. I think there are many tools on here that are not threatening, guided by your own personal pace and thought provoking. I absolutely will continue to feel comfortable in continuing my sessions with Dr. Nyla. She really is the best!!
Nyla is a very attentive therapist!
Nyla is thoughtful, a skilled listener, and kind. I appreciate the support she offers me.
Nyla is always kind, compassionate, and willing to listen. She also challenges me on my negative or false thinking which is great! She helps me think through situations and feelings and understand my options moving forward. Amazing therapist!
Nyla is very easy to talk to and makes you feel warm and welcomed. In my past experiences with therapy, I've walked away feeling judged, not with Nyla. Whoever has her better keep her. She's one of the best!
She is so kind and understanding and doesn’t just tell me what I want to hear. She proposes questions and scenarios that encourage self reflection and getting to understand my needs and room for growth.
Nyla is wonderful! Easy to talk to and a great listener!
From the first session, I felt like I'd known her forever. The feedback and information she provides is beyond measure!! Will mist definitely continue with her fir as long as she is available.
I worked with Nyla for 4 weeks while going through a difficult situation with my family. I specifically needed someone to listen without judgment and help me process and understand my experience and my emotions. Nyla was very insightful and often helped me gain perspective I wouldn't have come to on my own, and she suggested helpful activities I could do on my own time. She was warm, professional, and reliable, as well, and made sure I was aware of other tools available through the platform. I would definitely recommend her and would work with her again if I have the need in the future. Thank you, Nyla!
Nyla is so awesome! She has definitely helped me out so much in just the 2 sessions we’ve had so far.
Nyla is a compassionate, knowledgeable therapist and I greatly value having her in my life.
She is great to talk to and good listener. She's supported my feelings and been understanding of recent trauma grief. Her support and talking about and through things has been and is most appreciated.
Wonderful listener and very insightful; I greatly appreciate our sessions.
She’s the best of the best. My life is in a better place because of her.
For a person that always had a hard time setting boundaries and having social anxiety Nyla has really given me some great tools to help me with them. She is a great listener and does not make you feel judged. She takes her time, helps you stay on track with your goals, and reminds you of how much you have accomplished.
Nyla is the best.
Nyla is kind, patient, and resourceful. She is a compassionate, supportive counselor.
Super supportive, always willing to listen, and speaks from a genuine and authentic place that makes you feel willing to open up and share.
Nyla has been great to talk to. Although we just started, I feel she is engaged with our conversations. Although we’re not sitting in front of each other, it doesn’t affect our talks. I really like her and am sure I’m not the only one.
