Niko Delgado-McGee

I grew up in Bellingham, WA- a predominantly white college town near the Canadian border. I spent most of my upbringing playing soccer, listening to hardcore music and going on adventures in the woods with friends. I love to travel, backpack, cook Chamorran food and playing in the ocean. I’ve lived in Portland for the last seven years and have recently relocated to San Diego with my partner and two cats.

Many of our emotional wounds are relational. Whether that be through the lack of something we needed in a caregiver, like love or consistency, or the addition of something we didn’t need. Our caretakers, significant others, coworkers, classmates and friends may have taught us something about ourselves which we accepted as normal in order to fit in, exist or survive.

With this in mind, I focus deeply on building a strong, caring and respectful relationship with you. I invite you to bring all parts of yourself into our work together- however complex, shameful or scary they may feel. My hope is that our therapeutic relationship can be a blueprint to help you connect to the love within yourself and an authentic community.

I help client's craft their own take aways at the end of session as your words are much more powerful than mine.
