Dzivhu Nwashe

My name is Dzivhuluwani Nwashe, and I am a Clinical Psychologist with a diverse background in mental health and correctional settings. I am passionate about supporting individuals on their unique journeys toward healing and growth. I work with children from age 5, adolescents, adults, couples, and groups, tailoring my approach to each person’s background and needs. I utilize a range of modalities, including psychodynamic therapy, DBT, CBT, schema therapy, family systems, and person-centered approaches, to help clients understand and change maladaptive patterns affecting their daily lives.

 

My experience includes working as both a psychologist and correctional official within prison systems, where I engaged with a wide variety of individuals, hardened criminals, juveniles, adolescents, adults, males, females, and remand detainees. This challenging environment strengthened my ability to connect with and support individuals facing complex issues. I completed an internship at Elizabeth Psychiatric Hospital, where I worked with clients experiencing severe mental illnesses, gaining valuable insights into managing complex mental health conditions.

 

Culturally sensitive and multilingual, I am fluent in seven South African languages, which allows me to connect more deeply with clients from diverse backgrounds. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their inner worlds, discover their strengths, and work toward meaningful change. I understand that seeking help can be a daunting step, but I am here to walk alongside you with patience, compassion, and respect. Every person’s story is unique, and my goal is to provide personalized, supportive care that promotes healing, resilience, and growth.
