Nikita Dow

I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York with over fifteen years of experience working as a therapist and a coach. I support clients navigating depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, OCD, parenting problems, career challenges, and life transitions.

I've worked with adolescents, couples, and families and I value creating a space where clients feel safe, understood and supported. I'm direct, yet compassionate, and I am not afraid to help you explore the "elephant in the room" so we can get to the root of what's keeping you stuck.

My style is warm, collaborative and interactive. I believe in meeting clients with respect, empathy, and cultural sensitivity while also helping them move toward meaningful change.

I integrate evidence-based approaches including CBT, ERP family systems work, and motivational interviewing. My goal is to tailor each session to your unique needs-helping you feel both supported and challenged in a way that promotes growth.

Starting therapy takes courage, and my goal is to make that first step feel comfortable and empowering. In our first session, we'll explore what brings you in, we'll explore what brings you in, identify your goals, and begin building a plan that feels realistic. and aligned with your needs.

You can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, while also gaining insight and practical tools to move forward.

I look forward to working with you!
