Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas.  I received my Masters from LeTourneau University and have been practicing for 4 years.  I work with adult clients living with self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, and anger.  The goal is to provide a safe space for clients to openly talk, gain self-awareness, and identify ways to overcome their challenges.

This was my first session with her, and she was amazing! I have never had anyone tell me to even give myself "grace" because I have been through a lot. She seemed eager to work with me, and passionate about her job. I can't wait for our next session.

She really really listens and asks amazing follow up questions. Very easy to talk to. I am so happy I found her. 

Ms. Ellis, was recommended to me.  She's easy to talk to, open, inviting, authentic and definitely authentic.  I look forward to our sessions.  

Nikis was so amazing to work with! She helped me realize things about myself that I needed to work on that I didn't even realize I needed to work on. Her humor, reflective questions, and authenticity made each session enjoyable and prepared me well to do the inner work to heal and accomplish my goals. I highly recommend her if you're looking for and ready for big changes in your life!

Nikis is very easy to open up to as she genuinely cares! I absolutely loved my first session with her and already feel so much better.

I read energy and Nikis was amazing!  Very inviting and easy to talk to.  She asked very direct and informative questions.  I look forward to working with her in the future! 

The best thing I ever did was chose Nikis as my therapist. She sees things for what they are and challenges me to be better with situations. She is very direct and I love I can trust her! And expect nothing but the truth!!

I like how much time you give to let me voice through some of the things I’m thinking about.

I’ve been looking for a new BW talk therapist for a while and I’ve had a few experiences that just didn’t work well for me. I’m glad I found Nikis on Grow Therapy. I look forward to future sessions.

Nikis was very patient and kind and has a very relaxed vibe that I think I need as I start this journey.

I liked her right off the bat.  She is warm and listens well.  I can see her helping me over my hurdle.

Good first session. Looking forward to more

I’ve tried therapy many times. I have never had a therapist  as amazing as she is. She has a talent of not just listening to you but hearing you. You not be disappointed 

My first session with this therapist was a refreshing experience. She was open, welcoming, and carried a sense of firmness that made me feel both comfortable and supported. I felt safe sharing and confident that my information would remain private. This session felt very different from my previous experiences, and I’m excited to see how future sessions unfold. Although it was only my first visit, I’d say she’s definitely worth exploring to see if she’s the right fit for you.

I feel seen and heard when speaking with Nikis.

I appreciate that she simplifies and summarizes my jumbled thoughts in ways that help me understand myself. Even though I’m the one speaking, she helps me listen to myself and being able to listen to myself is a muscle I’m realizing that I haven’t used enough.

Awesome experience connecting with Nikis Willis. Our conversation was a great reminder of the importance of self-care. 

I had my first session with Mrs. Ellis today, and I already feel so much lighter. She’s warm, easy to talk to, and asks thoughtful questions that really make you reflect. I’m looking forward to my next session!

She is very welcoming, easy to talk to, and an authentic therapist who allows you to expressly your thoughts freely.


Nikis helped me make progress on re-organizing my thoughts to turn negative self-limiting beliefs into positive opportunities for change and growth. She offers useful insights, incisive questions, and excellent feedback when I am trying to worth through difficult thoughts.



This was my first time in therapy and I felt comfortable having a conversation with Nikis. I am looking forward to our next session. 

I love her. If they were to tell me I had to find another therapist I wouldn’t. I completely deal on my own. She’s so helpful. I love how warm & welcoming she is. She lets me get everything out while also lifting me up! 

I love her. She lets me talk. She understands how I express myself whenever I can. She never makes me feel uncomfortable or that I can’t speak about anything. I love how she’s so understanding about everything. She’s so excited to help me and I truly love her for that! I’d recommend her to everybody. 

I am more then grateful for the self-development,I have the chance to do with Mrs. Ellis.She creates a safe space for me to open up, share how I’m doing, what I’ve experienced,& much more judgement free.Most of the times I feel motivated to work on the things we discuss, in our sessions.I will continue to put in the necessary work so that I may grow in all areas of my life.

Ms. Ellis was a joy to speak to. Her demeanor and professionalism was impeccable. Ms. Ellis ask engaging questions that allowed me to speak and speak freely. She was very understanding of my challenges and gave me the trust I needed by being straight forward during our summary. She added in humor to bring some laughter to a very trying time in my life.
I would refer her to anyone looking for a professional with humor, who is authentic and open minded. 

I am only two sessions in, and I can't say enough good things about Nikis. She is my third attempt at finding a therapist and the third time IS the charm. She is warm and engaging. She asks really inquisitive questions that help you see yourself and your circumstances from a different perspective. I appreciate that she allows me to be myself with my sense of humor and the things that are important to me while suggesting strategies for me to get the most out of therapy.  

She was easy to talk to and did not judge me. I was able to express my thoughts and feelings comfortably. I believe the next session will be impactful.

Absolutely wonderful, the best therapist I’ve ever had, so kind and genuine and gives thoughtful and helpful solutions

She is amazing. I opened up instantly that has never happened 

Nikis is very understanding & empathizes with me, she also challenges me through great questions & resources. She is a great listener & I always feel heard during our sessions. She is humorous which I enjoy a lot & l always feel empowered to take on my journey. 

Ms. Ellis is very attentive and paid close attention to details. I felt comfortable with her.

She allows me to express myself providing a safe space that makes me feel comfortable and eager to work to get better 

She’s a great listener & give positive advise. Made me realize I don’t give myself enough credit 

Nikis is amazing and I would like to continue working with her. 

Genuinely THE greatest therapist I have ever ever ever worked with

Nikis was kind-spirited in her approach and made me feel welcomed. 

Very good experience. My first time in a therapy session and i think it went really well
