Therapy: Meet nik

I am an AuDHD, queer, nonbinary, and white multicultural therapist offering affirming online therapy throughout California. My practice is rooted in both personal and clinical experience, focusing on neurodivergence, trauma, trans and non binary experiences, non-monogamous and mixed-neurotype relationships, and navigating burnout in all areas of life under capitalism.

 
I understand how isolating it is when people do not understand us, especially when living with trauma or marginalized identities. Healing isn’t just about what happens in therapy; it’s also about finding connection and belonging in the world outside of it. I’m deeply curious about what matters most to you—in life, in community, and in our time together.

My approach is strengths-based, collaborative, and exploratory. I primarily use Narrative Therapy (helping you shape your own story), and I also draw from:

• Somatic (listening to your body for emotional insight)
• Brainspotting (born from EMDR, using eye positions to process trauma)
• Gestalt (focusing on the here and now and honoring survival strategies)
• Parts Work (holding different parts of yourself, even when they conflict)

I also am available to write medical affirming procedure/ hormone and/or surgery letters after one session.

My fee structure is as follows:

• $120 for individual 50-minute sessions
• $130 for couple/family/relational 50-minute sessions
• $200 for couple/family/relational 80-minute sessions

I offer sliding scale and low cost options in an effort to make therapy more accessible to a wider range of folks.
