Today we’d like to introduce you to Neshera Nasir
Hi Neshera, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I didn’t have the easiest start in life. I’ve faced some tough personal challenges—surviving abuse and homelessness, and learning how to navigate life on my own from a very young age. I’ve been working to overcome obstacles since I was fourteen, and every experience, as hard as it was, has shaped the person I am today.
For the past 8 years, I’ve been dedicated to behavioral therapy and mental health advocacy, and my work has been deeply influenced by my own journey. I’ve stood in the shoes of people who’ve faced trauma, and I know the impact that accessible mental health care can have. That’s why I founded Greater Horizon Foundation—my nonprofit dedicated to making mental health resources available to everyone, regardless of their financial situation.
But before finding my footing in mental health and real estate, I tried many different careers. It took a lot of trial and error to figure out what truly worked for me. I’ve learned not to be afraid of following my impulses and exploring new interests, because that’s how you find your purpose. It’s part of the process, and each attempt, whether it succeeded or failed, taught me valuable lessons that led me closer to what I’m meant to do.
When I stepped into real estate in 2019, it represented the chance to create stability and freedom—both for myself and to support my nonprofit work. So, I did what I’ve always done when faced with a challenge—I locked myself in, studied hard, and didn’t stop until I mastered it. Today, I’m trusted to manage millions in real estate investments, and I’ve used this success to fund Greater Horizon and other projects close to my heart.
Looking back, every setback has taught me something valuable. And as I continue this journey, my goal remains the same: to make an impact, lift others up, and show that with the right mindset, you can find strength even in the toughest times.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. In fact, it’s been quite the opposite. I’ve faced many struggles, both personally and professionally. Growing up, I had to learn how to survive on my own at a very young age, which meant finding ways to overcome homelessness, trauma, and the general chaos of trying to make a better life for myself.
In my career, the road hasn’t been any less challenging. When I first started working in behavioral health, I was dealing with my own mental health struggles while also helping others manage theirs. I realized firsthand how much of a barrier affordability is when it comes to mental health care—I knew what it was like to want help but not be able to afford it.
Stepping into real estate was another uphill battle. I had zero experience in the industry and no formal training, so I had to teach myself everything from scratch. I locked myself in a room for 12 hours a day, created my own syllabus, and studied relentlessly until I felt confident. Even with that preparation, there were still setbacks, deals that fell apart, and financial risks that sometimes kept me up at night.
Despite all these obstacles, I’ve learned to view struggles as learning opportunities. I’ve found that the toughest moments often bring the most growth, whether it’s figuring out a new approach in real estate or finding creative solutions to fund mental health initiatives. It’s never been easy, but the challenges have shaped me and given me a unique perspective that I wouldn’t trade for anything.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I’m passionate about both Greater Horizon Foundation and Neesh Assets, as each brings something different to the table. The Greater Horizon Foundation is my heart-centered nonprofit, and its mission is to make mental health support accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances. We specialize in providing resources, tools, and direct assistance to individuals who may not have had access otherwise. Mental health can be a huge financial burden, and my team and I are dedicated to removing as many barriers as possible so people can find the support they need to thrive. One of the things I’m most proud of is our ability to make a real difference for people who, like myself at one time, need help but can’t afford it. It’s a brand rooted in compassion and inclusivity, and it continues to grow because of the genuine support it offers.
Neesh Assets, on the other hand, represents the business side of my work—it’s my real estate investment club. Neesh Assets is dedicated to building wealth through smart real estate investments, focusing primarily on properties that yield steady cash flow and growth potential. Real estate can be complex, especially for those just starting, and I’ve built Neesh Assets on a foundation of transparency, strategic planning, and ethical investments. I believe what sets Neesh Assets apart is our commitment to making real estate accessible and understandable, even for newcomers or busy professionals. We’re known for combining traditional real estate knowledge with a fresh approach, which has helped me earn the trust of many clients and investors.
Brand-wise, I’m proud of both for different reasons. Greater Horizon Foundation is known for its empathy and genuine impact in the mental health community, while Neesh Assets has a reputation for integrity, profitability and transparency in real estate. Both reflect my journey, embodying resilience and a deep commitment to making a difference. Through these two brands, I’m able to support individuals on their mental health journeys while building wealth and freedom, not just for myself but for those who invest alongside me.
In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
In both the mental health and real estate industries, there are major shifts projected over the next 5–10 years that will impact how we approach each field. Here’s an overview of where things are heading:
Mental Health Industry Trends
The demand for mental health services is projected to grow significantly, with a focus on accessible, tech-driven solutions. Employment for mental health professionals, such as counselors, social workers, and therapists, is expected to rise by about 18% by 2032, driven by increased awareness and destigmatization of mental health issues. Additionally, hybrid treatment models—combining in-person and telehealth options—are becoming the norm, helping reach those who otherwise might not access care due to logistical or financial barriers

New technologies like AI and deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) are advancing in treatment, offering data-driven, personalized approaches to mental health care. However, the industry faces challenges with balancing privacy concerns and the personal touch that mental health requires. Mental health technology markets, such as psychedelic therapeutics, are expected to reach $6.5 billion by 2030 as innovative treatments gain credibility

Real Estate Trends
In real estate, technology is similarly playing a transformative role. AI-driven property evaluations, virtual tours, and blockchain for secure transactions are increasingly common, while data analytics allows investors to make more informed decisions. The demand for multifamily and storage properties remains high, with investors seeking steady, recession-resistant income streams.
As we look ahead, the focus on sustainable and energy-efficient properties is growing, with many states incentivizing green building practices. The flexibility of remote work is also driving demand in suburban and rural areas, pushing investment opportunities beyond traditional urban centers. Real estate is likely to continue adapting to these shifts, and investors who stay agile and embrace new tech will be best positioned to thrive.
Both industries are on the brink of innovation and growth. By staying informed and adaptable, Greater Horizon Foundation and Neesh Assets are primed to make an impact in this rapidly evolving landscape.
