Getting to know Nikelah Hughes

I’m Nikelah Hughes, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and owner of Breakthrough Collective . I provide virtual therapy for adults and couples in Virginia and Maryland navigating anxiety, relationship stress, burnout, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. Many of my clients are used to being the strong one for everyone else while struggling silently with stress, people-pleasing, communication issues, or difficulty prioritizing themselves. My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative while also helping clients build practical tools to better manage emotions, relationships, and everyday stress.

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.
