Hello, my name is Nickisha. I provide trauma-informed integrative treatment with individualized techniques based on evidence-based practices. I favor an eclectic approach to therapy, recognizing that each person is unique with distinct needs. My experience encompasses working with a diverse range of individuals, families, and groups, offering treatment for mental health, trauma, and substance use disorders. I am dedicated to collaborating on this healing journey and ensuring an empathetic, respectful, and therapeutic environment.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Our first session will serve as an opportunity for us to become acquainted and talk about your concerns. I will ensure a secure and inviting environment where you can express your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. Additionally, we will explore your aspirations from therapy, discuss how I may assist you, and begin to outline goals and a care plan for our journey ahead.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My foremost strengths include empathy and compassion: I am dedicated to forging a sincere connection with my clients and providing steadfast support. Active listening is another key strength; I am devoted to comprehending your viewpoint and affirming your experiences. Additionally, I adopt a collaborative approach, working intimately with my clients to craft tailored strategies that enable them to make constructive changes.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have over four years of experience in trauma-informed care. I take a holistic approach to mental health care. This modality helps clients challenge negative thoughts and better manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We will use the knowledge to change your thinking patterns to reduce daily stressors in your life.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

I have several years of experience using a person-centered approach to address challenges in a gentle, strength-based manner.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I help adolescences, teens and adults with different concerns and conflicts. I provide support, compassion, and practical skills to help my clients overcome the obstacles preventing them from reaching their goals.

Trauma Informed Care

Trauma-informed care is employed by creating a safe and supportive environment where you can explore past experiences, heal from trauma, and build resilience on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
