Government Employees Health Association (GEHA) Therapists in Columbus, OH

I’m Nikki and I offer you a warm welcome! It’s so important to find a good match in a counselor. Let me help you by telling you what I have to offer. Anxiety, attachment issues and negative beliefs about one's self are areas of focus that I specialize in. These can come from many avenues, such as life changes, relationships, family issues, trauma, etc. I also hold spirituality and faith-based issues in hand for those searching. I work to provide secure spaces for clients to feel vulnerable and allow for deep change. I offer ways to cope, as well as work to understand the origin of these issues.

My favorite question to ask a new client is: 'What will life look like one day when you come into my office and say, 'life is smooth, I'm succeeding, and I don't need counseling any longer?’ We will begin working with this goal in mind. The idea isn't to be in counseling forever, but to learn some skills for your life's toolbox to help you handle the journey you are on and setting the stage for wholeness that lasts a lifetime. I'm honored to be included in your journey and story and I’m ready to work alongside of you during your current season in life. See my website to learn more about me.

I am passionate about helping people find a sense of happiness, authenticity and confidence. Are you having difficulty deciding what comes next in your life, maybe going through some big life transitions? Are you exploring who you are and on a journey of self-discovery? Do you doubt yourself, struggle with boundaries or imposter syndrome? I would love to help you find your inner strength and build the skills you need to feel confident and self-assured. I have been in the field ten years, and am experienced in working with OCD, OCPD, Trichotillomania, anxiety, relationships, life transitions, self-worth, and whole body healing.

If you feel like you don't fit in, like you don't understand who you are, like the world isn't made for you: welcome. You're safe here. Perhaps you're part of the LGBTQ+ community or you're a BIPOC or you have a disability; perhaps you're unsure whether any of these labels apply to you, but you know the way you've been trying to fit in isn't working for you. My goal is to help you challenge traditional norms, to uplift your own story and lived experience, and to see your unique experience of the world as meaningful.

Licensed in OHIO and ARIZONA! Do you struggle with that little voice in your head that says "You're not good enough" or "You are guaranteed to fail so why try"? Do you feel torn between parts of you that say "Go, go, go! So much to get done" and a part that says "I can't handle this. I'm so overwhelmed"? In Internal Family Systems Therapy, we don't try to control or make these thoughts go away, we help you get into a relationship with those parts of yourself. In IFS we believe that everyone has a Self- an inner wisdom that embodies calm, clarity, compassion, creativity, connectedness, courage, confidence, and curiousity.

I specialize in treating various populations such as those with Anxiety disorders, Depressive disorders, Trauma/PTSD, Adjustment disorders and other life stressors. I also assist with social and self-esteem issues, phobias, and mild-moderate OCD symptoms. In addition, I have experience with childhood disorders including ADHD, ODD, and high-functioning Autism/Asperger's. I enjoy working with adults, adolescents, and children, and I use an individualized and collaborative approach to treatment.

You are tired of being overwhelmed, stressed out, misunderstood, taken advantage of. You give your all in every area of life, but it still seems like it is not enough. Life comes with all kinds of obstacles, troubles, hurts, and disappointments. I walk alongside my clients as they encounter these experiences and aid them to experience the hope, strength, and possibilities that are possible beyond these tough moments. Often, incidents from earlier in our lives may impact us in unexpected ways and require us to take the bold step of seeking help to experience growth and recovery.
