In the sacred space of therapy, Nina Cherington, AMFT, creates a unique inner sanctum where openness and honesty are not just encouraged but nurtured. This Associate Marriage and Family Therapist brings a deeply personal understanding to her practice, rooted in her own childhood experiences of navigating family transitions and discovering the transformative power of therapy.

Nina specializes in a wide range of areas, with a particular focus on couples issues. Her expertise extends to working with mixed-race couples and neurodiverse couples, addressing the unique challenges and dynamics these relationships may face. Additionally, she provides support for individuals grappling with self-esteem issues, anxiety, childhood trauma, complex PTSD, relational trauma, and grief.

Using a trauma-informed approach, Nina guides her clients as they courageously turn towards their fearful, hurt, and stuck places. She creates a warm, safe, and non-judgmental environment where clients can bring hidden aspects of themselves into the light to be experienced and honored. This approach is particularly beneficial for those dealing with complex PTSD and relational trauma, offering a path to healing and growth.

As a couples therapist, Nina supports not only each individual but also the relationship itself. She recognizes the frustration, hopelessness, and loneliness that often accompany painful relational patterns. With skill and compassion, she helps couples move out of negative cycles and establish clear channels of communication. When differences arise, Nina provides validation and guidance, enabling each partner to access and express their unmet fears, needs, and longings.

Nina's practice is deeply rooted in her belief in the magic and possibility of the therapy room. She works with individuals and couples around relationship issues, life transitions, loss, grief, identity, self-esteem, personal empowerment, depression, and anxiety. Her approach is an invitation - an opportunity for clients to explore, heal, and grow in a space where honesty and openness are not just accepted, but celebrated.
