Dr. John Nikkah

Hello — I’m Dr. Nikkah, a licensed clinical psychologist based in New York City with over 20 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate interpersonal relationships and personal conflicts. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues or life transitions. My therapeutic style is eclectic, as I have training in a multitude of therapeutic modalities, e.g. CBT, psychodynamic therapy, solution focused etc. to best match your specific needs.

My approach is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and evidence-based practice. I emphasize meeting each individual where they’re at with a practical, yet insight-oriented approach to problem solving. I believe that the relationship we build together is paramount to developing a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore what matters most to you. From there, we’ll identify your goals and the roadblocks you’ve encountered, then work together to create meaningful change that lasts.

During our first session we will go over what brings you to therapy and answer any and all questions you may have. We will also discuss your goals, expectations and the therapeutic process.
