Nikyra James, LCSW

Nikyra James, LCSW

Psychotherapist
IL
My name is Nikyra James. I am a Licensed (Independent) Clinical Social Worker. I have over ten years of experience providing care across the lifespan. It is important to know that I seek to develop genuine, caring relationships with my clients as I believe that feeling cared about is an important component of feeling safe in a therapeutic space. I lead with honesty, transparency, and occasionally humor and I invite my clients to do the same, please bring your full self to therapy. I have a passion for helping people of color and supporting individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, neurodivergence, identity, stress, self confidence, and interpersonal difficulties and conflict. It is my belief that therapy is a partnership between clinician and client and it is my goal to help my clients achieve healing, wellness, resiliency, and tolerance for life's challenges and stressors in ways that truly align with their personal goals and highest visions for themselves. I utilize evidenced based practices and my therapeutic modalities of choice are: CBT, DBT, ERP, Motivational Interviewing, REBT influence, ACT, and Mindfulness. It is my joy and pleasure to assist you in your journey.

Don’t see your insurance?

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

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.
