Nina Bhattacharya, MS, MSW, LCSW (She/Her)
Nina Bhattacharya is a Psychotherapist at And Still We Rise. She cares deeply about co-creating joyful and reflective spaces with clients that allow for tenderness and authenticity.
As a queer, South Asian therapist and social worker, she views individual flourishing and intergenerational healing through a broader context, honoring community and cultural influence. Grounded in the belief that therapy is political, Nina approaches her practice through an abolitionist, anti-zionist, and intersectional feminist lens. Her work draws from narrative therapy and internal family systems, and other relational and liberatory modalities.
She holds an MSW from the Boston College School of Social Work. Before transitioning into social work, Nina worked in global health and higher education for many years. She received her BA from the University of Michigan and her MS in Global Health and Population from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, where her thesis research explored the relationship dynamics of trans and nonbinary youth and their caregivers. She was also a 2012-13 Fulbright Fellow in Indonesia.
Nina is also an artist and educator, teaching creative learning design courses at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and facilitating workshops for South Asian youth across the country. Nina replenishes by sitting near water, diving into new fantasy series, pulling tarot, gathering people around food and spirituality, and going to dance class.
Nina is fluent in English, and conversational in Bengali.
