Services

Dr. Nongauza offers a suite of personalized therapeutic services, each structured around measured objectives, active collaboration, and proven techniques:

• Adjustment Disorder Management
  She employs CBT-informed methods, narrative reframing, and goal-setting exercises. Consequently, clients regain daily functioning and adapt more smoothly to life changes.

• Acute Stress Management
  By combining mindfulness practices, grounding techniques, and relaxation exercises, she helps clients regulate overwhelming feelings in the moment.
