Quality evidence-based care

Hello, I'm Dr. Niza, a licensed clinical psychologist based in South Florida. I specialize in anxiety, OCD, disruptive behaviors, and ASD. I work directly with children and young adults to help them learn strategies to better manage their reactions to strong emotions. For toddlers and preschoolers, I work directly with caregivers to teach and/or coach them in helpful parenting strategies to reduce tantrums, avoidance, and problematic reassurance-seeking. I tailor my services to the needs of the client and primarily offer evidence-based treatments, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), comprehensive behavioral intervention for tics (CBIT), parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT), and the Unified Protocol for Children and Adolescents (UP-C/A). I am also a provider of the PEERS® social skills training program and offer this curriculum to clients who want to work on making and keeping friends. For parents who are struggling with managing their child's or adolescent's anxiety, OCD, or related concerns, I offer Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE).
