Trauma Focused Therapists in Greensboro, NC

It is frustrating to have tried everything, yet continue to feel in pain, sad, hopeless, stuck in the past, and worrying about the future, yourself, and your relationships. Stress, past trauma, chronic physical & mental illness can make you feel that way, affecting your quality of life (QOL). Imagine though a life where you get a boost of energy and motivation, quiet negative self-talk, cope better with stress, manage physical and emotional pain, build confidence, feel less worried, self-conscious and withdrawn, regain hope and pleasure in things you used to enjoy, live a healthier life style, and accomplish meaningful life goals.

Life often presents us with unexpected changes, societal pressures and relationship stressors, leaving us wondering where to turn next. It requires immense courage and resilience to seek a safe space where one can navigate these challenges. I firmly believe in the power of the human spirit to continue its journey, to dream, to believe, to persevere and to continually learn and grow.

My ideal patient does not exist, I truly believe anyone willing to show up to do the work, trust themselves, and build on every session is ideal because that is the most important part of the therapy process. I also believe that one of the foundational pieces of therapy is transparency. I try to remember everyone is on a different path, and their own pace concerning how they choose to express themselves. I'm known for my kindness, relatability, and willingness to adapt to my patient's needs as necessary. I take great pride in creating a safe space where patients can feel comfortable and vulnerable when working with me.

Hi! My name is Nikki Lowman. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NC. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist and a trauma-informed therapist. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults (18-25). My clients have experienced traumatic events (neglect, abuse, bullying, foster care, domestic violence, sudden death of a loved one), distressing life events/major life changes (divorce of parents, frequency moves or change in homes, school changes) and/or difficult adjusting to other stressors or life changes.

The journey to healing is often difficult and having support along the way is necessary. Many of us have been given messages that we need to be strong and brave, making it hard to ask for help. I am here to help you see that you are strong, and you are brave, but it is also okay to ask for help.

Self-compassion can be tough and many of us are living our lives feeling disconnected from our bodies. More times than not, we have no idea how we got here. There are many forces at play and it's helpful to understand societal expectations and pressures to better understand ourselves. This is a second career for me and throughout my years as a therapist, I’ve observed how my previous experiences contribute to how I connect with people. Gradually, together, we can work to identify barriers, name emotions, tolerate distress, and move toward the life you want to be living.

Do you feel like you have to appear to have it all together when inside you are struggling? You may feel lonely and misunderstood. When you look in the mirror you may not recognize the person looking back at you. Going through the motions of everyday life feels exhausting. You’ve been running on autopilot and are headed toward burnout. Relationships may be harder to maintain as well as the relationship with yourself.

I love working with the non-conformists, artists, dreamers, and beautiful weirdos of the world!

Why the hell can't my family accept me as I am? How can I break my pattern of getting into toxic relationships? How can I build trust and love with my own body?

Like the mythical Phoenix which arises anew from its ashes, we each have the capacity to survive, and emerge stronger from difficulties, life circumstances, personal and professional setbacks and tragedy.

Working with a therapist can help you develop skills to make those 'big' things feel much less daunting. Taking a person-centered, humanistic approach to therapy is important because everybody has a unique story, identity, culture, and goal.
