Welcome! Are you struggling with getting stuck in your spiraling thoughts? Do you have a hard time concentrating because your mind can’t quiet? Or getting stuck in decision making paralysis? Does your mind continue to beat you up with thoughts about past experiences or worries about the future? If so, we should talk :) I specialize in working with folks with anxiety to better understand, manage, and navigate the way your mind works. Although anxiety can get in the way of living the life you want, that does not have to be the case! We can work together to develop the skills to overcome those patterns and show up fully in your life.

I enjoy working with individuals who are negotiating changes, difficulties, or losses in their lives and trying to understand their experience. I believe it is up to each of us to make sense of our lives, and psychotherapy is often a valuable place to explore this in an open and non-judgmental way. It is often turning points or changing phases of life that call us to question things, confront us with important decisions, and challenge us to decide what is meaningful. Symptoms of depression and anxiety, or events such as illness, trauma and loss can call into question our beliefs, values and goals in life.

My name is Jin Niki, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with cross-state licensure in California and Nevada. I work with a wide range of populations and specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and distressful life transitions. I am a firm believer that in order to achieve overall wellness, one must place priority on creating a life that feels good on the inside rather than a life that appears good from the outside. The wider the discrepancy between the two, the greater the distress from emotional pain.

If you're doing mostly well, but have recently discovered that something is off, you might work well with me. I am passionate about carefully excavating til we find what's causing the disruption under the surface. If you have things that happened in your childhood or earlier adult life that you don't talk about, we might work well together. I am passionate about helping people who have experienced deep wounding from difficult experiences. I understand that healing is not linear, and that you might need a guide to find your way.

Do you feel that life has something more for you? Is your life story one of tragedy or redemption? Learning to live with authenticity is learning to understand who you are, finding a spark of joy and moving towards that joy to live a more fulfilling life. Fear of the unknown is what keeps us from taking steps towards greater authenticity and change can be incredibly difficult. We all need support to move through it.

I offer a free first session, so that you can get a sense of how I work and see if we are a good fit. I provide Tele-health therapy for clients in both California and Pennsylvania. Therapy provides a space to speak freely and be heard with care that can provide a person with more internal space for lived experience, emotion, thought and desire. In psychotherapy, you can express your thoughts and feelings and gain insight into the unconscious sources of your conflicts. With warmth and curiosity, I will provide an attentive ear and a thoughtful mind.

Welcome! I value you taking the first step in this new chapter of your life. Recognizing a desire for change and reaching out for support isn’t an easy process, but so many doors open when we’re in a space where we feel safe, seen, heard, understood, validated, and truly cared for. We could all use more compassion, empathy, and encouragement in our lives, especially during difficult times. My approach to counseling is warm, collaborative, curious, and non-judgmental. I am passionate about learning what your unique gifts are and supporting you in living a more authentic life.

When problems remain unresolved, negative feelings like frustration, anger & hopelessness can bring you down.

I will listen to your story compassionately & without judgement, and support to empower you with a voice. I will nurture all that is good in you, and collaboratively help you unfold into the best version of your Self.

Living heart-centered means balancing the mind with intuition and somatic sense. It means moving beyond binary propositions that make the world black-and-white false dichotomies. It is often beyond words and intellectualism, yet not dismissive of these aspects. Instead, it encompasses all aspects of being to facilitate the unfolding of your true self - becoming more of who you really are. I endeavor to support clients in this process. Through self trust and self compassion, as well as deep insight that connects to the heart of the matter. We engage in conversation with presence as well as journey into experiential processes.
