Nagat Gaad
Nagat is a Master of Counselling student at City University of Seattle in Canada. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of the Fraser Valley.
Nagat strives to foster a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and supported. She believes that each person is the expert in their own life and recognizes the importance of tailoring therapy to each client’s unique identity, experiences, needs, and goals. Her approach is informed by person-centred, strengths-based, solution-focused, mindfulness, and acceptance-based practices.
As a woman of colour with Egyptian and South Indian heritage, Nagat values cultural humility and understands the importance of accessible and culturally responsive mental health care. She is especially interested in supporting adolescents and young adults experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, identity exploration, self-esteem difficulties, and life transitions.
