What patients are saying

Overall rating

5.00

“I began with a different therapist for one issue and then had a life event that caused me to look for someone who has experience with a separate issue and found Nikki. She has helped me with both issues and my relationship has done a 180 in the right direction thanks to her. She is open, understanding, and direct. She accepts all people and is not afraid to gently put you in your place when appropriate. She was a God-send for me and my family unit and continues to be so.”

Getting to know Nikki Dorsey

Hi there, I'm Nikki! I work with people navigating trauma, addiction, sexual assault, attachment issues, and relational challenges. My approach is client-centered and solution-focused, meeting you where you are and moving forward from there. My focus I work with adolescent girls and adults facing attachment and relational trauma, sexual trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and personality concerns. I also specialize in substance abuse treatment and can provide assessments for those seeking addiction care. My approach I have a client-centered approach, and I enjoy learning about people and their lives. Providing trauma-informed care is important to me, and I tend to feel grounded and most comfortable using Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. My communication style Clients often describe our sessions as comfortable and peer-like, not from lack of boundaries but because I use selective self-disclosure when clinically beneficial. Confidentiality is paramount, and I create a safe space where you can share what matters most to you. My journey to mental healthcare I had an amazing therapist as a troubled and traumatized teenage girl. Ever since, I wanted to do the same work. I really enjoy learning about people and consider it a privilege to be allowed into the inner workings of their lives. Our first session Laughter. Getting to know one another. Invasive questions that I will try to ask with tact and grace. It's been 20 years now in my career, so it's usually pretty good and comfortable.
