Nykitia is the founder of Mental Resilient Services, PLLC. She is a Certified Trauma Care professional, Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, and PsyD candidate specializing in sports psychology. She believes in the holistic approach, treating the body as a whole. She is driven by her commitment to motivating individuals to reach their full potential of self-actualization and mental resilience.
She has worked in various inpatient and outpatient treatment settings, providing individual, family, and group therapy. Her experience includes children, adolescents, adults, and families dealing with life issues such as trauma, high-risk youth, self-esteem, substance abuse and addictions, anger management, behavior modification, and mental health challenges, including depression, autism, anxiety, bipolar, and schizophrenia. Nykitia's preferred therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but she uses an eclectic approach to counseling to fit the needs of each individual.
During the first therapy session, clients can expect a calm, welcoming, and confidential space designed to promote openness and comfort. The initial session focuses on getting to know you, your background, current concerns, and goals for therapy. Together, we will discuss what led you to seek support, what you hope to gain from counseling, and any previous experiences you have had with therapy or mental health services.
I will explain confidentiality, its limits, and answer any questions about privacy, documentation, or consent. We will also review office policies, scheduling, and fees to ensure you fully understand how the therapeutic process works.
This session is also an opportunity for you to share your preferences, whether you want a structured approach, a more conversational style, or specific techniques to help manage challenges such as stress, anxiety, relationships, or adjustment issues. I will ask questions that help me understand your unique situation, including your strengths, support systems, and areas of growth.
