“Nikeema is truly a breath of fresh air. She’s very knowledgeable, relatable, insightful and professional. Also, talking to her felt not only cathartic, but familial as if I was speaking to a wise friend and I really appreciated that. ”

“I can not say enough nice things about Nickeema!
She is patient, she is intelligent, she is kind, she's INCREDIBLE! The combination of her life experience and education allows her to communicate her solution-based methods in a way that allows for vulnerability and transparency.
She handles every situation with care and pushes me past my comfort zone into a new space of healing. Speaking with her makes me feel grounded while also encouraging me to adopt new methods of understanding.
If you're someone that wants to put in the work to become an emotionally intelligent human being, Nickeema is the therapist for you! ”

Getting to know Nickeema Lyte
With more than 13 years of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in relationship-focused counseling that supports emotional health, communication, and connection. I work with individuals facing relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relational stress, helping them better understand patterns that impact their personal and interpersonal lives.
My therapeutic approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing, with a strong emphasis on relational dynamics, boundaries, communication skills, and emotional awareness. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical tools that support healthier relationships and personal growth.
I also offer Christian counseling for clients seeking to integrate faith and spirituality into therapy. Whether you are navigating conflict, rebuilding trust, or seeking deeper connection and clarity, I provide a collaborative and compassionate space to support your goals.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe you are the expert of your life and therapy is an opportunity to reflect on the trajectory and recognize how to get to what's next. I am passionate about using my skillset to teach, support and provide a space for internal transformation to take place.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
You will walk away with insight and endless tools to better navigate this crazy thing we call life.
I love to discuss healthy boundaries and how to navigate relational challenges, managing anxiety and transforming the way we think, and processing the reality of the impact of trauma on our everyday lives.
Common focus areas:
Relationship Issues • Communication • Anxiety • Depression • Life Transitions • Faith-Based Counseling • Emotional Growth • CBT Therapy

I've been seeing Nickeema for a couple of month now and she has been a tremendous help with guiding me to better understand my feelings, managing my expectations and introducing me to different perspectives that have truly helped with internal and external anxiety. She provides a safe space for me to share my feelings and be myself! I 100% recommend!

Nickeema has helped me so much in my healing journey. She’s so kind and affirming and at the same time she challenges my thinking and gently pushes me out of my comfort zone. I’ve grown and learned so much from her over the past 6 months. I recommend her to anyone looking to grow, confront their issues and heal.
