Nayeli's approach is rooted in person-centered care, meeting each client where they are and working collaboratively to determine what therapeutic approach best fits their individual needs and goals. She incorporates approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing, while allowing each client’s unique experiences to guide the therapeutic process.
