Janet Crisp

Janet Crisp

Therapist

Virtual • North Palm Beach, FL


Hi, I’m Janet Crisp, MSW, LCSW, CSAT-C, a trauma-informed therapist and founder of NuYu Counseling Center.

I help individuals, parents, and families heal from pain that feels too heavy to carry alone. Whether that’s trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, abuse, relationship difficulties, sex addiction, or addiction.

I also support betrayed partners as they navigate the shock, anger, grief, loss of trust, and uncertainty that can follow betrayal.

In addition, I work with teens and adults who struggle with anger, emotional regulation, and/or unhealthy behavioral patterns.

My approach blends CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychoeducation with compassion and accountability.

You don’t need to have it all figured out — you just need to take the first step. I’ll meet you where you are and help you move toward healing, growth, and a New You. 🌱

Nashat Ali

Nashat Ali

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I trained in medicine before I became a therapist, and it changed what I listen for. When a client tells me her chest tightens before every meeting, or that she can't stop thinking about a diagnosis, I take the physical side of that seriously.

I hold a PhD in health psychology and I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois and Florida. My published research is on post-traumatic growth in women. Since 2020 I've also taught graduate counseling and psychology as an adjunct professor.

I see adults dealing with trauma and complex trauma, chronic illness, health anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. I work with women through perinatal and postpartum struggles and through fertility challenges. I also see adolescents.

I speak English, Hindi, Arabic, and Urdu. If you're dealing with immigration, acculturation, or family expectations that don't translate easily, you won't have to explain that context to me first.
