LCSW, 11 years of experience
New to Grow
Are you sad? Mad? Stressed about the general state of the world? My name is Nikki, I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Connecticut. I have over 10 years of experience helping adults with addiction and mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, anger, stress, self esteem and healthy relationships. I am a big believer that everyone should have access to therapy because we all need a safe, unbiased person to talk to. I strive to create an environment where people feel supported, empowered, and motivated to work on their goals.
Our first session together is used to go over your intake paperwork and therapy goals to make sure I am the best therapist to meet your needs. If we determine that I’m the best fit for you, we’ll create your treatment plan that will guide our work together. We will also go over privacy, mandated reporting and overall expectations for our sessions.
I meet clients where they are at. I’m able to accept and welcome clients as they are and encourage them to share their concerns with me openly and honestly without judgement. I am empathetic, compassionate and have a genuine interest in my clients.
The goal of my practice is to help clients who are motivated and willing to make changes in order to reach their therapy goals. In my 10+ years of experience I have worked with clients from a variety of backgrounds. I work best with those struggling with addiction, depression, anxiety, stress, self esteem, and relationship issues.
I use strength-based therapy to help empower clients so they can feel motivated and able to work on their treatment goals
I use motivational interviewing to help clients find their own desire and ability to make changes
