How does Welcome To Namita Individual, Family And Child Therapists & Associates (NIFCTA) work?
Welcome to NIFCTA
At Namita Individual, Family and Child Therapists & Associates (NIFCTA), we offer heartfelt, individualized care rooted in both Eastern wisdom and Western Gestalt psychotherapy. We believe healing unfolds through presence, connection, and curiosity and that each person’s path is sacred and uniquely their own.
Our work is grounded in the understanding that challenges often carry the seeds of transformation. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or navigating a time of profound personal change, therapy can be a powerful place to come home to yourself. We support individuals working through:
Anxiety and inner unrest
Depression and disconnection
Emotional overwhelm or shutdown
Self-worth and identity struggles
Life transitions, grief, and relationship shifts
Spiritual emergence or awakening experiences
You don’t have to go through it alone. We’re here to walk beside you with compassion, curiosity, and care as you reconnect with your inner wisdom and move toward greater wholeness.
“The person most in control is the person who can give up control.” — Fritz Perls
About NIFCTA
Namita Sharan, LMFT
Founder & Clinical Director
Rooted in Compassion, Growing Through Connection
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Namita Individual, Family & Child Therapists & Associates (NIFCTA) — a group practice dedicated to creating spaces where individuals can reconnect with themselves, deepen self-awareness, and move toward meaningful growth.
My approach is shaped by a unique integration of Eastern and Western psychotherapeutic traditions, grounded in my studies at both Naropa University and the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). These lineages inform the way I practice: honoring both mindfulness and embodiment, insight and presence, inner stillness and emotional movement.
At NIFCTA, I support individuals navigating:
Life transitions
Anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm
Identity exploration and cultural integration
Spiritual emergence and existential inquiry
The desire for deeper connection with self and others
My style is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I believe healing happens in the context of presence, safety, and deep listening. I center the wisdom of the body, respect each person’s lived experience, and trust the unfolding process of therapy as a sacred and transformative journey.
Our guiding values — Rooted in Compassion, Growing Through Connection — reflect the heart of how we show up in this work.
Why NIFCTA?
Because something within you is ready to shift — even if you can’t name it yet. Because healing begins the moment you feel truly seen.
Because your story deserves to unfold — slowly, safely, without judgment.
At NIFCTA, therapy is not about fixing what's broken — it's about gently uncovering what has always been whole. We draw from both Eastern contemplative traditions and Western psychotherapeutic practices, shaped by training at Naropa University and the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). Our approach is grounded in Gestalt principles, mindfulness, and body-based awareness.
We don’t follow a script. Each session is guided by what’s emerging in the moment — with space for silence, emotion, insight, and transformation. Whether you're feeling lost, overwhelmed, or simply ready to reconnect with yourself, we offer a space where your inner wisdom can reawaken.
We listen.
We attune.
We hold space for what’s alive — even when it’s unclear or tender.
"Healing unfolds through presence, safety, and deep listening."
NIFCTA is a place to slow down, tune in, and move toward what feels more aligned and whole.
When you’re ready, we’re here.

Do I Need Therapy, or Can I Handle This on My Own?
Awakening to the Invitation Within
There comes a moment when life’s gentle whispers grow insistent, inviting us to pause and listen deeply. Maybe time and reflection have carried you this far, or the love of those around you has been a steady light. Yet something stirs beneath the surface—a quiet call for a sacred space where you can be truly seen and held.
At NIFCTA, we believe healing begins the moment you feel safe enough to unfold. Here, therapy is not about fixing what feels broken—it’s about uncovering the wholeness that has always been there, waiting patiently beneath the noise.
Rooted in both Eastern mindfulness and Western relational depth, our approach honors your unique rhythm. We offer a presence that listens, attunes, and holds space for whatever is alive in you—uncertain, tender, or ready to bloom.
