Nicole Lovass-Nagy

Therapist

I am an LMSW originally from Reno, Nevada. I began my clinical practice working with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and sex trafficking and their families to treat trauma and co-occuring diagnoses. I have worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings, with young adults, adults, families and couples. I have worn many hats; high school teacher, illustrator, world traveler, community social worker in homeless housing, data manager and researcher, but I have enjoyed the positive impact I can make as a therapist the most. My role as a therapist and social worker is to continue to empower and build resilience in each of my clients.

Enrique A. Rosario

Therapy Supervisor

I am a classically trained therapist who has been educated and experienced in individual, couples, family, and group therapy. I collaborate with individuals and couples to focus on what they want to change through attention to the communicative and interactional systems they interface in, including approaches in Strategic Therapy, Structural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and several other personal change approaches that involve one’s behavioral and emotive challenges.

My approach as a therapist is, to quote Carl Rodgers, “How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his/her own personal growth?”

Sameerah Owens

Licensed Master Social Worker

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1)
I work with individuals from all walks of life. My work has been with children, adolescents, adults managing life transitions, trauma, stress/anxiety, depression, parents and families. I often work with people struggling with lack of connection, have difficulty finding their purpose. I have worked for many years with individuals who have been incarcerated and reentry into society. I greatly enjoy working with individuals who are willing to think outside the box, work as a team and in-brace change.
I want to help you access your inner strength with an approach that is tailored specifically to you. It is not always easy to seek out help or to make a commitment to a process of self-exploration and self-discovery. I enjoy being part of this process for individuals who are willing to invest the time and energy towards improving their lives. Guess what, if you are not there yet, I will meet you where you are and we will work together to reach where God intended you to be in life. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals can feel supported and cared for as they explore, examine and challenge themselves to experiment with new ways of thinking about and engaging in their lives. If you want to pray we can do that together.
I believe in treating people with love and kindness. “We can do all things through Christ who strengths us.” I take a strengths based approach to my work with clients to best meet their needs. I believe that if you just take the first step we can take the second step together. You are not alone! Let’s do this! Congratulations you’re on your way!
