About me

Hi, I’m Nitika, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience helping teens, adults, and families navigate life’s messy, beautiful moments. I believe healing happens in safe, soulful spaces where you can be fully seen, heard, and never judged. I use evidence-based approaches such as CBT, wrapped in compassion and a touch of humor, to support healing and growth. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just need a safe space to breathe and be, I’m here to walk alongside you. Therapy with me is honest, warm, and human because you deserve support that truly sees you.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session is all about getting to know each other and laying the foundation for a supportive therapeutic relationship. You can expect a welcoming space where you can speak freely and feel heard without judgment., an overview of the therapy process, including confidentiality, session structure, and what you can expect moving forward, a chance to share your story and what brings you to therapy, what challenges you're facing, and what goals or changes you're hoping to achieve. You should also expect questions to help me understand your background, current concerns, and any relevant history that may inform our work together. You don’t need to prepare anything in advance. Just come as you are. My goal is to make you feel safe, supported, and empowered to begin your journey toward healing and growth.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I bring a deep sense of compassion and genuine concern to every session, meeting each client exactly where they are with warmth, respect, and without judgment. I believe in the healing power of being truly seen and heard. I also value honesty and realism. I won’t promise quick fixes, but I will walk with you through the hard parts, helping you face challenges with clarity and courage. Therapy isn’t always easy, but it can be profoundly transformative. And yes, there’s room for humor here too. I believe laughter can be a powerful part of healing. Sometimes, a shared smile or light moment can open the door to deeper connection and insight.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in working with individuals who are seeking meaningful change and deeper understanding of themselves. My approach is especially effective for clients who: -Are navigating life transitions, such as career changes, relationship shifts, or personal growth journeys. -Struggle with anxiety and depression and are ready to explore the roots of their emotional experiences. -Feel stuck or overwhelmed, and want to develop healthier coping strategies and regain a sense of control. -Are motivated to engage in self-reflection and personal development, even if the path forward feels unclear. -Value a collaborative and compassionate therapeutic relationship, where their voice is heard and respected. Whether your goals involve healing, clarity, or transformation, I aim to provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore your concerns and move toward lasting change.
