Naja Druva

Naja Druva is a licensed professional clinical counselor in New Mexico with nine years of experience. She approaches therapy with a practical, down-to-earth style and a focus on real problems people bring into the room. She values human connection and listens closely to what matters most to each person.

Naja draws on methods that help people build skills and manage strong emotions. She uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and trauma-focused work to address intense feelings and past hurts. She also emphasizes mindfulness and attachment-informed thinking when those fit a person's needs.

Clients often come with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, or concerns about identity and intimacy. Naja also supports people navigating adoption and foster care related issues, attachment questions, parenting strain, and the complexities of blended family life. She works with challenges like depression, anger, body image, and coping with major life changes.

Her sessions combine practical tools and straightforward conversation. People can expect skills practice, grounding methods, and an emphasis on small changes that make day-to-day life easier. She brings a sense of warmth and occasional humor to keep difficult topics manageable.

Naja offers a collaborative process where goals and strategies are set together. She helps people track progress and adjust approaches when needed, aiming for steady, usable steps rather than quick fixes.
