Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hey there! I’m Dr. Naz, and I offer individual therapy and wellness coaching. You’ll see my degrees and licensure, but I highlight today my unique ability to connect with clients as one of the few men of color in this industry, especially since I am a neurodivergent myself.
Growing up in Flint and Saginaw, Michigan, I don’t rely on my education and doctorate to help my clients. I use my life experiences and deep empathy to understand what you bring to the table in therapy truly. People come to therapy for various reasons: some are looking for support, some for solutions, some for a cheerleader, and some need someone to push them. I have a unique ability to do all those things and ensure you always smile and laugh during our sessions ????.
My mission in life is to help others better their lives. My specialties are working with folks of color, student-athletes, and those who are neurodivergent. For anyone who is neurodivergent or autistic reading this, you’ve finally found someone who not only specializes in but also deeply understands your unique perspective. Whether you’re looking for explanations for your behavior, ways you interpret the world, or trying to figure out job functioning and ADHD, I’ll do my best to help you with interpersonal skills, relationships, and more.
I’m genuinely excited and honored to work with each of my clients and help them reach their goals in life. This isn’t just my job, as all my clients will tell you—this is my passion. This is my life. I’m different from any therapist you’ve ever had, and together, we’ll be one of the best teams. I’ll be there for you through life’s challenges, the ups, the downs, the hardships, the sadness, the happiest moments, the joys, and the promotions ????. If you’re reading this and choose to work with me, I’m excited to see where we can go together. We’ll support and empower you to be the best version of yourself, even if that best version is just not hating yourself anymore.
Welcome to the Different Spectrums family! If you’re curious about my style and humor, you’re welcome to listen to our podcast, which has over forty thousand followers.
I enjoy pickup basketball, weightlifting, and yoga outside the therapy room. I’m currently adding golf and fishing to my repertoire. I admit to a penchant for reading half-bought books and comics. To unwind, you’ll catch me enjoying Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu comedies. ???????????????????? #TherapistExtraordinaire #AutisticAndProud
