Build up your confidence and forge a path forward
Nazneen Yasin
Hi , my name is Nazneen. I am a licensed clinical social worker in New Jersey and a Life Coach. I am a mother of three beautiful girls. I am a former tax accountant. I have my bachelors in accounting and finance and my masters in social work. I worked in the corporate world for close to a decade. In 2012 I made the decision to pursue my passion of becoming a helping professional and went back for my masters in social work at Rutgers University. I specialize in helping adults with anxiety, depression, and relationships issues. I also provide life coaching for adults navigating career, family and pursuit of peace and balance. Whether it be career counseling, life transitions, work/ life balance, or confidence building and empowerment, I am here to support you. I am here to guide you as you learn and develop skills and strengths to overcome internal and external own obstacles.
As a mother of three, I know all too well the stress of managing work, home, and children. As a former corporate employee and owner of my own therapy and coaching practice, I also understand the stress of setting goals and how they can seem overwhelming. The roles we play in our work, relationships, personal life and other passions can be hard to juggle and can often leave us drained and lost. You can feel this way if you don’t have the skills to balance it all. Forging a path forward when things seem to be stagnant or going in the wrong direction, can be difficult. Processing your pain and struggles of the past is sometimes necessary to get moving and begin change. Therapy can be a safe place to process and understand what kept you stuck.
Sometimes you have worked through the struggles and pain, and need more of a plan or direction and ways to achieve goals. This is when you need to learn how to set goals and objectives to measure how far you have come. You also need encouragement to boost your confidence. It is important to set goals as they are key in living a well balanced and joyful life. I’ve learned ways to set goals and objectives as well as build confidence, that I love sharing and teaching. With coaching I teach you how to break through your barriers, increase your confidence, and most importantly, change your inner language and mindset, to achieve your goals!
More about me:
I love to travel! Anything near a body of water works for me because I'm a Pisces after all. I am the eldest of 3 girls and I also have 3 girls! I love doing arts and crafts with my children because I am very visual in learning and expression. I often incorporate visual learning by use of imagery , visualizations, and even whiteboarding (ask me more about this!) to help clients gain a deeper understanding of their problems and possible solutions.
I love taking pictures. I wont say I am a photographer, but more a mindful capturer. I often can see a moment visually as the expression of an emotion. Taking pictures of my children at play is one of my favorite things to capture (above are some samples!). I find it relaxing and inspiring because through play I see the result of my role as a parent. Lessons about love, courage and confidence come through visually. It brings me joy and fills me with hope.
I also enjoy cooking. More specifically I have made it a goal to enjoy more fruits and vegetables in my diet. And part of doing this is to find creative ways to incorporate them in for myself, my partner and our children. You get out of your brain and your body what you put it in. This daily intention and priority is connected to my goal of using food as energy and fuel to in order to stay energized. I tune into my daily needs and set simple intentions like this to ensure I am set up for success.
Previously this was something I didn’t think much about, I didn’t make time for self care in this way. Tuning into this need and setting other smaller objectives and intentions, has allowed me to achieve my long term goals without getting overwhelmed. I love helping clients figure out how to set short term objectives to achieve their long term goals, leading to a more fulfilled life!
Let me walk with you and help you on your path to finding solutions that are right for you.
