About Nakie Mahomes

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Washington, I bring over two decades of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. Supporting girls and women through every season of life-from identity formation to the wisdom of later transitions. My practice centers on helping clients cultivate self-love, improve communication, and discover deeper life purpose.

With specialized expertise in trauma recovery, addiction support, eating disorder treatment, and self-esteem building, I offer compassionate guidance for navigating significant life transitions. My approach honors each client’s unique journey, creating a supportive and affirming therapeutic space.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I work collaboratively to help individuals develop resilient coping strategies, heal from past experiences, and move toward meaningful personal growth. My commitment is to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and genuine care as you explore your path to wellness.
