Therapist for Teens and Adults, and Couples

Nikhat (knee-cot) has a super positive vibe about her. She’s one of those people that lifts people’s spirits simply by her being in their orbit. Honestly, she’s pretty dang awesome.

Have you ever met someone who just radiates positivity? That’s Nikhat. She’s just one of those people that everyone likes. And, let us tell you why.

First, she is very engaged with her clients, and what she puts her mind to. She’s not a therapist who will just sit there, nod her head, and say “uh-huh”. Instead, she get’s right into the thick of things with her clients. She really enjoys helping clients draw connections, answer important questions, and make the breakthroughs she is really needing in life.

Second, she is open-minded, supportive, and encouraging. She wants you to be yourself and show up just as you are. If you feel down, broken, exhausted, confused… whatever is weighing you down, she wants you to show up and trust that you have someone that wants to be in your corner. She is one heck of a supportive person.

We also cannot fully describe Nikhat without addressing her professionalism. She is hard working, reliable, and takes her role as your therapist seriously. While everyone makes mistakes, Nikhat is not one who will neglect her clients or the trust they but in her hands.

We really believe Nikhat is the total package: smart, professional, and a delight.

Nikhat practices a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gestalt, Strengths-Based, and Culturally sensitive counseling methodologies.
