About
Hello! My name is Nadia Maynard. I currently live in Texas, where I am also licensed. I am committed to creating a therapy space which centers your safety, engenders trust, builds collaboration, and foments compassion. I believe therapy is not about fixing you, but understanding you, your history, your community, your stories, your survival tools, strengths, challenges, and relationships. Therapy is a space where you are the expert of your lived experience, and I am a partner-guide in this journey. Together we find ways to connect to a better understanding and support of your nervous system, while making meaning out of your lived experience, and acknowledging your power.
I have both personal and professional experiences that enrich and inform my connection to neurodivergent clients. Though these experiences are not the totality of my lived experience, these are experiences that fueled my commitment to walking with people through their journeys and being a witness to their stories. I am a life-long learner and believe in mutuality, to that end, I believe we all deserve a witness, someone who can sit with you and hold space for your experiences. It is an honor and a gift to be in that role. I treat my role as your therapist with the care, compassion, skills, and commitment with which I am being entrusted.
I don’t feel/think that therapy needs to be serious or heavy all the time. We can make room for the hard, tender, soft, and painful parts of life while also leaving space for laughter, pleasure, curiosity, and joy. I see healing as a process and people as whole, not broken or needing to be fixed. So much of who we are can get pushed to the edges when we’re struggling or navigating systems that ask us to disconnect from ourselves. Therapy can be a place to plant seeds and work with the roots, to come back to what matters to you — to your values, strengths, relationships, creativity, identities, culture, community, and the parts of yourself that have always known who you are. I hope that our journey together can make room for the grief and the joy, the uncertainty and the knowing, the parts that are hurting and the parts that are still growing.
