Therapy with me is one way to create changes through psychological, emotional, and soul-based healing. Healing is possible through sharing your stories and better understanding processes that are connected traumas, grief, or feelings of shame and guilt. My approach is collaborative and insight-oriented; encouraging deeper change and growth towards a brighter future, not a patch-up or superficial process.

Book with me now on my website! Hi! I'm Nikki, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in women's wellness. I offer one-on-one Telehealth sessions to address anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship issues. Often women come to me because they feel anxious, they aren't sure who they are anymore, something feels "off", or their relationships just aren't as fulfilling as they hoped for. The to-do list never ends, they feel overwhelmed and alone, like they are never “enough”. Maybe they recently had a baby or have just reached a point where they are reflecting more and craving more from life.

My name is Dr. Zamani (she/her) and I am a queer Afghan-American mixed licensed doctor in marriage & family therapy. I specialize in working with Complex Trauma for folks who have been exposed to consistent stressful experiences throughout their development ranging from childhood trauma, displacement, financial instability, and abandonment. Since I went to school for 9 years and had to complete a doctoral exam and dissertation, I have a wide range of knowledge and experience working from different therapy modalities and approaches. Most of which originate from eastern teachings and indigenous practices.

What brings me joy is helping others to feel Empowered, Connected, and Whole. When people have even a little of these three things, any change is possible. I have a strengths-based and person/client-centered approach to working with clients. I have a keen sense of seeing the positive traits in people, especially when they cannot see them within themselves. I want to help you remove the blindfold that past trauma(s) put in place, so that you can identify and embody the best parts of you. In short: If you want to truly understand who you are, how you operate, and what's holding you back - you're in the right place.

You’re pregnant, or just became a new parent and are in the postpartum period. No one told you about the unexpected and unwanted thoughts and feelings that you are experiencing. The whole life transition is just not what you expected or hoped it to be like. The emotional rollercoaster you’re on is beginning to have an impact on your relationship with others, your new or expected baby, and yourself. It feels like you are alone in this, and it is difficult to understand who to turn to.

Being human is hard. Sometimes, it can feel like we’re running in circles or sleepwalking through life on auto-pilot with racing thoughts that clutter the mind and paralyze the spirit. Overwhelmed by the weight of emptiness in the heart, but possibly already skipping or spiraling ahead to the next step to carry on with the performance of this existence because “everything is fine.” The show must go on, right? There may be limitations, even detrimental consequences to filling the void with excessive distractions. How did too much become never enough?
