Nayera Elsayed

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Welcome. I’m glad you’re here. My work is rooted in the belief that healing begins in a safe and supportive relationship, where you can show up just as you are and feel genuinely seen and understood. Whether you’re moving through anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or the weight of cultural and generational trauma, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space to explore your experience with care and curiosity.


You’re not here to be “fixed” because you’re not broken. You’re here to reconnect with your inner wisdom, reclaim clarity, and build a life that feels rooted and whole. I’m here to support you in that process, every step of the way.

Natalye Kirkland

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Hi, I’m Natalye—though you’re welcome to call me Nat, whichever feels more comfortable for you.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and bring over a decade of experience in the mental health field. My work has spanned a wide range of populations, diagnoses, and settings. I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, adolescents, and adults facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, behavioral issues, and eating disorders. My clinical experience includes in-home services, inpatient hospitalization, residential care, and outpatient treatment.

With an empathic approach and dynamic disposition, I’m deeply committed to building strong, trusting, and positive relationships with my clients and their support systems. I believe that healing happens in safe, supportive spaces—and I’m proud to walk alongside my clients in that journey.

Fabiola Vargas

Fabiola Vargas

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Therapy doesn’t have to start with having all the answers. Sometimes, it starts with simply wanting to feel better, understand yourself a little more, or have a safe space to talk about what you’re going through.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Oncology Social Worker (OSW-C) with over six years of experience supporting children, young adults, adults, and families. My background includes psychotherapy, clinical social work, crisis intervention, and providing support in both inpatient and outpatient hospital settings. I have a particular interest in supporting women and individuals navigating infertility, cultural concerns, serious illness, grief, anxiety, and major life transitions.

As a bilingual English and Spanish speaking clinician, I strive to create a warm, supportive, and judgment free space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, while also giving you practical tools to help you work through challenges and recognize your strengths. You don’t have to figure everything out on your own. I’m here to meet you where you are and support you along the way.
