Getting to know Nekia White
You’re tired of being the “strong one.” At home, on the job, and even among your friends, you’re the one everyone calls when they need a solution. You’re so good at supporting others that no one knows you’re secretly falling apart—no one asks. Maintaining this image is exhausting, but you barely have time to notice the emotions. You bury your feelings with more work, so no one ever sees the real you. Ironically, the one person you never show up for is you. You’re an expert at meeting expectations, but it’s time you started taking care of yourself. It’s been so long. You’re not sure you remember how.
I’ve been where you are. With a Master’s in Social Work from Howard University, I dedicated my practice to supporting powerful women like us. Using techniques grounded in neuroscience, we’ll gain insight into your experience and where change is needed. We’ll release the old mindsets and replace them with supportive practices. You’ll learn how to prioritize your needs while setting healthy boundaries.
Feel the peace and freedom that comes from knowing you don’t have to hold everything together on your own anymore. I’m here to support you. Experience your authentic self in all your strength and vulnerability. Don’t put off your needs another day. The life you’ve been craving needs all of you in it!
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach is very down-to-earth and relatable. While I am using my clinical listening skills and getting to know you, I want you to feel comfortable and feel safe from the very first session. During our initial sessions, my focus is getting to know you and the life experiences that have contributed to the challenges you face now. My number one task is to ensure you feel safe as we build rapport. At some point, I work on supporting you in gaining insight into for thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and how earlier experiences continue to impact you in the present. After setting goals, I then seek to support you in showing up for yourself in the way you ideally want and be patient with yourself during the journey. Lastly, I celebrate every win, no matter how big or small.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
