Naja Druva

Naja Druva is an LPCC practicing in New Mexico with nine years of professional experience. She emphasizes a warm, listening approach and uses practical skills to help people manage stress, anxiety, and life changes. She often brings a sense of lightness and humor into sessions and collects therapy-related memes to keep conversations grounded and human.

Clients can expect sessions that focus on what matters to them. Naja draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities. She also uses ideas from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and trauma-focused approaches when people need concrete tools for emotion regulation and processing difficult memories.

Naja works with adults facing a wide range of concerns, including grief, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include attachment and family of origin issues, adoption and foster care, fertility concerns, body image, and difficult separation or divorce experiences.

In sessions she focuses on building a trusting working relationship, listening deeply, and teaching skills that can be used between appointments. Conversations are practical and straightforward, with attention to immediate coping strategies as well as longer term patterns. She helps people name what feels hard and find small steps toward change.

Her approach balances empathy with structured techniques. That means space to talk, room for humor, and concrete practice of new ways to cope and communicate. People who want a collaborative, down-to-earth therapist may find her style a good fit.
