Nadia Surin, Psych Associate

I am a bilingual Registered Psychology Associate in Maryland, fluent in English and Spanish, and currently pursuing a doctoral degree. I have experience working with children and young adults experiencing emotional dysregulation, behavioral concerns, executive functioning difficulties, life transitions, interpersonal challenges, and neurodevelopmental concerns.

My clinical approach is integrative, drawing on evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centered
interventions, while maintaining a culturally responsive, collaborative framework. I value creating
a supportive and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, respected,
and empowered to explore their experiences, strengthen coping skills, and work toward
meaningful change.

I have experience working with children and young adults presenting with emotional
dysregulation, behavioral concerns, executive functioning difficulties, life transitions,
interpersonal challenges, and neurodevelopmental concerns. I recognize that each client's
experiences and challenges are unique, and I tailor my therapeutic approach to their
developmental needs, individual strengths, and personal goals.

As a first-generation Salvadoran American, I recognize the important role that culture, identity,
family dynamics, and lived experiences play in shaping how individuals understand themselves
and navigate the world. I approach each client with cultural humility, curiosity, and respect for
their unique experiences.

I believe that therapy offers an opportunity not only to address emotional and behavioral
challenges but also to foster greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and personal growth. My
goal is to help clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, navigate life's challenges,
and make meaningful changes that align with their values and overall well-being.
