About this Faculty
Nasya Smith, LMHC (she/her), is a psychotherapist with over a decade of experience as a mental health professional. She supports professional adults navigating anxiety, burnout, workplace stress, racial trauma, and the emotional toll of always being “the responsible one.”
Nasya earned her Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Boston College’s Lynch School of Education and Human Development, and is certified in Compassion in Therapy by the Awake Network and the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion.
She works best with individuals who are used to holding it all together—quietly anticipating the needs of others while feeling unseen, disconnected, or overwhelmed. Many are navigating the quiet ache of not feeling allowed to feel their feelings. Nasya’s somatic and polyvagal-informed approach helps clients slow down, tune into their emotional truth, and reclaim their sense of rest and self-trust.
Her work often supports those shaped by emotionally immature caregiving, people-pleasing, or perfectionism. She brings a trauma-informed, relational lens to healing, inviting clients into deeper emotional honesty and sustainable self-connection.
Nasya has completed foundational EMDR training and integrates an EMDR-informed lens into her work with trauma and emotional dysregulation. She is currently developing the Reclaiming Enough Project—a heartfelt offering rooted in the belief that your version of enough... is enough.
As a first-generation college graduate and Black woman psychotherapist, Nasya brings cultural awareness, warmth, and lived experience into every space she holds.
