Quality evidence-based care

Hello, I'm Dr. Niza, a licensed clinical psychologist based in South Florida. I specialize in anxiety, OCD, disruptive behaviors, tic/Tourette's, 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 certified provider of the PEERS® social skills training program and offer this curriculum to clients who want to work on making and keeping friends.
