NIKKI LEE
Psychotherapist, MSW, LSW
CBT, Polyvagal Theory, Parts-work, Somatic Experiencing Therapy, EMDR
Hi, I’m Nikki—a licensed social worker and holistic therapist who deeply believes that healing happens in safe, attuned relationships and through honoring the complexity of the whole self: mind, body, and spirit. What draws me to a holistic, relationship-based approach is the belief that we heal through connection and through tending to all of who we are.
I approach therapy with the understanding that the ways we cope often have deep roots— formed in response to pain, disconnection, or survival. I aim to help you make sense of those patterns, explore what’s beneath the surface, and move toward healing with curiosity and compassion.
I’ve had the privilege of working in both community mental health and private practice, supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, ADHD, panic, bipolar disorder, self-esteem issues, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I am especially passionate about working with clients navigating anxiety, boundaries, relationship issues, complex and relational trauma, and narcissistic abuse. I have experience working with neurodivergent individuals helping them navigate emotional regulation, social communication, sensory sensitivities, and life transitions
I often draw from person-centered, trauma-informed approaches, CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, IFS and strengths-based work, alongside Polyvagal Theory, parts work, and somatic practices— combining reflective work with body-based tools to support meaningful, integrated healing.
Therapy with me is a place to bring your full self—without judgment. I strive to create space to reconnect with your strength and build a more compassionate, authentic relationship with yourself. No matter where you are in your journey, I’d be honored to meet you there and walk alongside you.
Outside of therapy, I love spending time with my family and our two dogs (a German Shepherd and a Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd mix), being outdoors in nature, and diving into podcasts and documentaries. I’m passionate about holistic healing and love to learn—continually exploring how to integrate what I discover into both my own life and the work I do with others.

“Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it.” – Tori Amos
Hello! I’m LaKeisha (or just Keisha) — an empathetic and down-to-earth Licensed Social Worker who believes healing begins when we feel truly seen, heard, and supported. As a holistic therapist, I offer somatic & mindfulness techniques to assist clients in nervous system regulation, developing coping skills, and encouraging connection between the mind and body. I provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space for individuals who are ready to explore growth, balance, and emotional well-being.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent seven years in Child Welfare and Child Advocacy, where I developed a deep understanding of resilience, family dynamics, and the power of human connection. That experience led me to return to school to pursue my Master’s in Social Work from Aurora University, fulfilling my purpose to help others heal on a deeper level.
In my clinical work, I enjoy supporting adults, teens (16+), young adults, and college students as they navigate life’s challenges and transitions. My focus areas include anxiety, life adjustments, self-care, building confidence, and emotional regulation. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy, allowing each session to meet you where you are and guide you toward greater peace and empowerment.
I also have a special passion for Black mental health and wellness, and I am especially honored to work with Black teens, Black women, mothers, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Outside of the office, I love a good true crime podcast, iced coffee, and picking my next book to read. I’m also a proud new mom to a beautiful baby girl — a journey that has deepened my empathy for the complexities of self-care, identity, and motherhood.
I’m currently accepting new clients for in-person and virtual sessions. Whether you’re seeking support, clarity, or simply a safe place to breathe and grow, I’d be honored to walk beside you on your healing journey.

Sessions may support clients in reducing anxiety, overcoming fears, managing stress, releasing trauma, and fostering healthier habits. Through guided relaxation and focused awareness, clients are able to access deeper states of insight and healing, allowing for meaningful change and personal growth.

Hi there and welcome! I am happy you have taken the first step towards healing! I am here to
help you get back in touch with your body and your heart center.
Let’s work together to help you feel safe in your body and learn to cope and express a wide range of emotions. Often times we operate out of our head space, which causes us to listen to self-limiting beliefs/narratives, engage in negative thought patterns, paranoia, fear, and difficulty trusting yourself and others. My goal is to help you heal, feel grounded, connect your head and heart center, increase your window of tolerance, and feel more connected to others. This will help you put those limiting parts aside and move through the world as your true self.
I utilize the Polyvagal Theory and other somatic interventions, in order to develop effective coping skills to help regulate our nervous systems and feel more grounded. We can explore different techniques to find an approach that works best for you including, but not limited to: parts work, inner child work, art therapy techniques, EMDR techniques, IFS, narrative therapy, and brain spotting.
I work with adults, couples, and families. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD/C-PTSD, life transitions, daily stressors, OCD, ADHD, grief, family conflict, estrangement, relationship conflict, boundary setting, increasing communication, and conflict resolution skills.

When there is a disconnect of self and soul, people experience a lack of joy, soul loss, a lack of passion and purpose and blocked life force energy. Symptoms of this are: depression, anxiety, suicide ideation, low libido, rage, repeated negative patterns and relationships, addictions and more. These hidden and wounded aspects of you live in what we call the "shadow". We can reconnect with our light, passion, purpose, love and joy when we are able to bring awareness to unhealthy patterns, anxiety, fear, and limiting beliefs and from that place take our power back and create the life we desire from the inner-self to the outer-world.
The goal of Holistic psychotherapy is to integrate the shadow self with our conscious self, releasing all shame, guilt and judgment. When you heal your relationship with yourself, your external relationships begin to elevate and harmonize as well. The shamanic psychotherapy journey is a healing of the mind-body-soul that evolves the client emotionally and, spiritualty.
