LaQuita McNickles

Hello! I'm LaQuita, a licensed therapist (NJ, MA & IL) and certified life coach with a background in corporate, medical, and healthtech startup environments. I specialize in working with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, including breakups and divorce. Being at a crossroads in life can leave you feeling lost, stuck, or overwhelmed but you don't have to navigate it alone. I provide culturally responsive, affirming care for individuals of all identities and backgrounds, including BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ communities, who come from relationship structures whether they be monogamous or ethically non-monogamous.

I work best with clients who are motivated to take an active role in their treatment. Using evidence-based methods like CBT, ACT, and SFBT, I help them address challenges, recognize patterns, shift unhelpful thinking and beliefs, and build practical skills to struggle less with what they don't want and move closer toward the life they do want.

In our first session, we’ll explore the challenges you’re facing, how they impact you, your current coping strategies, and your goals for seeking treatment. This will help us to create a tailored treatment plan that guides our work toward achieving your goals on this therapeutic journey.
