For 11 years, I have sat with people at some of the hardest moments of their lives, from

Jihan Nacel

Jihan Nacel

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I'm Jihan — a bilingual LCSW, second-generation Cuban/American Latina, and relational therapist

based in New York City, offering Telehealth sessions across New York State. I have four years of

clinical experience working with adults and adolescents across a range of concerns: anxiety, grief,

ADHD, major life transitions, trauma, burnout, and the kind of identity work that comes with being

young, bicultural, or figuring out who you are in a world that doesn't always have room for

complexity.

I'm proudly LGBTQ+ affirming and see clients across the gender and sexuality spectrum.

I work best with adolescents, young adults, and adults in the middle of something — a transition, a

loss, a recognition that old patterns aren't working. I'm not here to foster dependency or give you a

script for your life. I'm here to help you build the kind of self-understanding that goes with you.
