I have been working with the Elderly and their family members for 40 years. I work from a strength-based perspective and work with clients to empower them and help find solutions to their issues.
Hello — I’m Dr. Nikkah, a licensed clinical psychologist based in New York City with over 20 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate interpersonal relationships and personal conflicts. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues or life transitions. My therapeutic style is eclectic, as I have training in a multitude of therapeutic modalities, e.g. CBT, psychodynamic therapy, solution focused etc. to best match your specific needs.
Our human experience can carry trauma, and I bring both clinical training and real-world experience in trauma informed care from health care and higher education. I support people in moving toward health-based emotional and mental well-being. My work integrates clinical knowledge with embodied, brain-based approaches to healing. Light-hearted and warm, I deeply value each person's unique story and inner world. I work primarily with adults, navigating phobias, anxiety, chronic nervous system dysregulation, relational repair, challenging life transitions, and persistent survival patterns. I continually expand my knowledge through innovative and evidence-based tools.
I am a clinical social worker with years of experience. I value getting to know both the strengths and challenges my clients are facing. We will work collaboratively to address the issues we identify and create goals to achieve.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I strive to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My style is practical and solution-focused, empowering clients to take small, actionable steps toward meaningful personal growth.
As someone who has undergone her own adversities, I can sincerely say that I know how elusive achieving change and growth can be, but I also know that change is possible. Navigating through the difficulties and stressors that life inevitably brings us can be challenging and difficult to do alone, which is why I am a firm believer that healing begins the moment we feel heard. I have worked in mental health clinics, inpatient psychiatric settings and group practice settings, but have found that I excel in private practice where I have the ability to offer one on one, individualized psychotherapy.
