Getting to know Nikki Messer

Hi there, I'm Nikki! My name is Nikki Messer, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Georgia and my Bachelor’s degree from the University of North Alabama. At the heart of my practice, my goal is to help you experience healing and growth as you regain a life worth living. My approach My approach is person-centered, so your individual needs and goals guide the therapeutic interventions I use. I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. My focus I support adults and teens living with the challenges of anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, past trauma, and life transitions. My communication style My style prioritizes safety and compassion while improving your emotional well-being, exploring relationship dynamics, and coping with adjustments. Together, we will challenge automatic thoughts and reactions and identify patterns to build awareness in the way you think, feel, and act. My first session with you During our first session, I hope to learn what brought you to therapy—not just the recent stuff. I will gather a brief history as we discover what has led you to seek therapy at this particular moment. Don’t be shy to ask me questions either. Remember, you are looking for the best match for you!
