About me

I am licensed in New Mexico with 9 years of professional work experience. I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy DBT, Trauma Focussed Cognitive behavioral therapy TF-CBT, and several other skills building modalities. I also firmly believe in the therapeutic value of personal connection and a receptive ear. I also collect therapy related memes because humor is often the best medicine.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Naja Druva. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Naja has given me her support for the past several months. I believe in her experience and her ability to communicate with me, as someone who is rediscovering my self confidence after being recently diagnosed with neurodivergent challenges (by a third-party) and dealing with a long term relationship breakup. Her relevant expertise, ability to provide reassurance, compassion, hold space for you to work through or process your own experience at your own pace, and especially her analogies/metaphors have been extremely helpful to me. I have humbly stumbled upon her and highly recommend her for my emotional support and (albeit virtual) crying session needs. Happy or sad tears, she is a welcoming professional on the BetterHelp platform and would be an asset to anyone who chooses to work with her and on themselves. 10/10 Would Recommend Naja!

Naja has honestly been one of the best therapists I've ever had. Our sessions feel like catching up with a wise friend with good advice. And I always feel like I can share anything no matter how silly it may seem. Highly recommend and hope to be able to stay with her for a very long time!

Naja is wonderful. She helped me gain my self confidence and self worth back in one of the lowest times of my life. I am thankful that Better Help set me up with her. I feel comfortable talking to her and I feel better after every session with her. I look forward to sessions with her and continuing my healing journey.

I enjoy working with Naja. She is very down to Earth and easy to talk to. I feel comfortable in my expression with her. She holds me accountable while still showing sympathy and compassion. I'm glad I found her.
