Nasim Javan, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified School Counselor in Montgomery County, PA 

Hi! I’m Nasim Javan, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified School Counselor at Lilac Therapy Center LLC.

My goal is to form a strong bond and connection with my clients where they feel like they can be their authentic selves.  I pride myself on being warm, empathetic, inclusive, funny, culturally competent, and trauma informed.  I believe in the value of open and honest communication, which I use to develop trust with my clients.    My main therapeutic goal is empowerment: creating a space where clients can safely share their feelings, overcome challenging situations, build their resilience and strength, and ultimately create noticeable change in their lives.

I’m a therapist for teens, adults, parents, and couples.

I have significant clinical experience supporting teens, young adults, adults, and couples as they navigate challenging mental health and relationship issues.  I have a strong background in treating anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, substance abuse, and relationship and communication issues.  I encourage my clients to explore how their pasts affect their current functioning while working to improve and strengthen close relationships in their lives.  I enjoy helping couples improve their communication and connection, while providing useful tools for working through common conflicts and stressors.  

I also have a specialty in working with teens, both within private practice and school settings.  I understand the unique difficulties in navigating developmental changes, school issues, intense teen emotions, and peer relationships.  As a parent myself, I also understand the stress of the teen years on the family system and how critical open communication and empathy are during these years of evolving family dynamics.   I am skilled in providing parenting and co-parenting support, focusing on strategies to improve communication, lessen conflict, and promote peace in the entire family unit.  

Through our work together, I believe you will feel empowered, connected, and challenged.   I commend you on taking the first step towards positive growth and change, and I look forward to sharing that journey with you!
