Nina Davachi

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


Clients often tell me they feel both deeply understood and gently challenged in our work. You won’t be met with quick fixes or surface-level advice. Instead, I offer a grounded, relational space where we can slow down, get curious, and make sense of the patterns—emotional, relational, historical—that are shaping your current struggles. I’m especially attuned to the inner lives of high-achieving adults: those who appear competent on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unseen underneath.

I’m trained in psychodynamic therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and EMDR, and I approach each client with a blend of clinical precision and emotional presence. You can expect warmth, honesty, and an active collaboration toward lasting emotional change.

Therapist

I'm Baruch Glazer, an LCSW specializing in depth-oriented therapy with young adults navigating authenticity, meaning, and identity.

My Journey

I struggled with anxiety and depression for years before I discovered therapy. What changed everything wasn't symptom management—it was depth. Learning to actually understand myself, to sit with discomfort instead of optimize it away, to accept myself differently. That depth-oriented work didn't just ease my symptoms. It helped me become someone I'm proud of.

That experience fundamentally shapes how I work with clients.

Hi, I’m Chrissy, and I’m a licensed professional counselor. If you’re struggling with OCD or anxiety, you may have spent a lot of time stuck in the “why,” wondering why these thoughts happen or why you feel this way. In our work together, we’ll shift the focus from the why to the how: how you can respond differently, break the cycle, and move forward.
