Nikita Shinn

I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, severe depression, anger management concerns, behavioral difficulties, eating disorders, parenting challenges, mood disturbances, and other emotional or life stressors.

My primary background revolves around behavioral issues, anger management, LGBTQ+, and parenting.

The goal of therapy is not to create dependence, but to foster growth. I strive to help clients overcome challenges, heal from difficult experiences, and develop the self-awareness and self-acceptance needed to thrive independently.

I strive to create a welcoming and safe environment where clients feel comfortable exploring the full range of their thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

I acknowledge the significant impact that external factors such as family dynamics, societal expectations, and judgment from others and that they have on our well-being and life experiences.

My therapeutic approach is largely grounded in cognitive-behavioral principles, recognizing the strong connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and the influence they have on one another.

During our first session, my primary goal is to gain a thorough understanding of who you are and what brings you to therapy. I will ask questions about various aspects of your life, including your childhood, family history, significant life experiences, cultural background, relationships, and overall well-being. This comprehensive assessment helps me better understand the challenges you are facing so that we can work together to develop a meaningful and effective path toward your goals
