About Nana

Hi, my name is Nana Aba (or Nana!). I am a licensed professional counselor with 6 years of practice. I believe that healing happens in connection — connection to self, to others, and to what brings you meaning. I specialize in working with individuals navigating ADHD, eating disorders, chronic illness, depression, and anxiety. Being born in Ghana, West Africa and moving to the United States has also cultivated a passion with reaching and working with the immigrant and BIPOC communities. My goal is to foster a safe space to support these communities with their unique challenges. I work with both adolescents and adults struggling with self-esteem, eating disorders, learning difficulties, anxiety, depression, chronic illness and trauma. I draw from evidence-based modalities like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Narrative Therapy, and enjoy weaving in Creative Exploration when applicable. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and always tailored to you. Together, we’ll explore what actually works for your life, your brain, and your story. I'm here to walk alongside you, ask thoughtful questions, and help make space for growth, clarity, and healing.
