(she/her)
Hello! My name is Dr. Nicky Underwood. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified First Responder Counselor, Texas-based provider, and a New York City native with extensive experience working in various settings, including university clinics, community mental health services, hospitals, private practice, the federal government, and telehealth platforms. I was also an adjunct instructor at a major university. My motto is "Give me a piece of your mind, and I'll give you peace of mind." *****Please note that although you will receive consent forms from Growtherapy, I will also send you my consent forms and notice of privacy to your email address as soon as you schedule an appointment with me. Check your spam folder if you do not see the email. I will not see clients until those forms are signed. ***** I do not offer same-day appointments; therefore, please allow at least two days to complete the forms before your session. I am not seeing any clients until July.
The first session is to establish therapeutic rapport, gather historical information, and provide education on evidence-based psychotherapy.
