Nikki Messer
Hey there! My name is Nikki. I am excited to get to know you! I support adults and teens living with the challenges of anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, PTSD and grief. Some of the challenges that we face in childhood/adolescence can impact us later in life. I am passionate about helping you understand how trauma and your family dynamics impact your relationships, coping mechanisms and thought patterns. My approach prioritizes safety and compassion while improving your emotional wellbeing, exploring relationship dynamics and coping with adjustments. At the heart of my practice, my goal is to help you experience healing and growth as you regain a life worth living. Together we will challenge automatic thoughts/reactions and identify patterns to build awareness in the way you think, feel and act. During our first session, I hope to learn what you brought you to therapy, and not just the recent stuff. I will gather a brief history as we discover what has led up to you seeking therapy at this particular moment. Don't be shy to ask me questions either. Remember, you are looking for the best match for you!.
