Are you genuinely curious about unhelpful patterns that seem to keep showing up in your life and relationships? Do you ask why you’re such a people-pleaser, take things so personally, have trouble opening up, suffer from analysis paralysis, feel bad about setting boundaries or communicating your needs, etc? Let’s understand first and then learn new skills and strategies to break out of those cycles or even find ways to use them to your advantage.
Mayumi served in the United States Navy, where she specialized in operations. Upon separation, she completed her Masters in Social Work at University of New Hampshire. She worked in various setting such as home hospice, in-patient psych, crisis team and eventually settled in as a House of Corrections Program Director for a Veteran’s unit. She continued her PTSD and trauma work with Veterans that experienced trauma from combat and sexual trauma. Mayumi founded Insight Therapy and Consulting LLC as a way to serve the intersecting and diverse community she experienced along her journey.
Mayumi’s approach to therapy is humanistic and relational, but other modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy, internal family systems, mindfulness, and the science behind human behavior. Guided by progress, therapy should be collaborative, organic, and fluid.
Mayumi’s style of therapy can be described as direct, blunt, with a lot humor. Validation, compassion, and encouragement are essential, sugarcoating reality is not. She feels that any relationship can be a model on how to trust, communicate, and connect - and that includes the therapeutic relationship.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist who works with teens, adults, and couples as they address anxiety, depression, life changes, and BIPOC-related issues. It can be tough for one to prioritize themselves in this busy world. Making the decision to attend therapy can be overwhelming and sprinkled with skepticism. How can “talking” help with anything?
I approach my practice from a strength-based perspective, with humility, patience, and curiosity. The client is the expert. You have come this far on your own, let’s build on that! Let’s discuss present stressors, identify triggers, and disrupt patterns, so you can finally move past and forward. Therapy is sacred and personal. I strive to create a therapeutic space that is safe, empowering and built on trust. I look forward to joining you on this next stage of your journey.

These childrens demonstrated amazing resilience in the face of adversity, while I supported through advocacy, encouragement, and resources, so they could have the tools to navigate tough life circumstances.

Nada provides individual and group therapy to children, teens, and adults struggling with various difficulties including unresolved trauma, attachment deficits, adoption or foster care trauma, systemic oppression, childhood abuse or neglect, grief, spiritual crises, relationship ruptures, and behavioral problems.
Diagnoses are one way to identify symptoms that cause suffering, but it’s crucial that we also view from the lens of how our brain and body process information, store experiences, and often trap extreme beliefs, emotions and sensations associated with distressing experiences. Nada honors that, in most cases, clients are doing the best they can with the creative and unique adaptations their brain and body have made to survive and navigate the challenges that have been placed in front of them.
Combining compassion, humor, and a high regard for cultural humility, she views clients as collaborative and active participants in therapy from determining goals, to speaking openly, setting boundaries, and offering feedback. Clients and therapists should work together to restore the power and capacity to choose, feel, and live.
Nada uses Trauma-Sensitive Yoga, EMDR, and adjunct approaches to support clients’ healing from overwhelming feelings, thoughts, and body sensations. She received her Master’s of Social Work from Brigham Young University in 2012, certified in EMDR in 2017, certified in Trauma Sensitive Yoga in 2023, and has worked at various agencies and capacities including the Emergency Room, group private practice, and the child welfare system. She will become an EMDR Consultant in September 2023.
