About Nikkia Matthews

I have been a Licensed Clinical Therapist since 2012. I specialize in treatment for adolescents and young adults, relationship exploration for couples, pre-marital counseling, family issues, women’s issues, life adjustment issues and trauma.

There are times where you will need to navigate life’s challenges – this is where I can partner with you. I am experienced in treating symptoms of anxiety, depression, life cycle changes, PTSD, trauma, and guiding clients through life skill building. My mode of therapy includes a hands-on and holistic approach, as well as the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems Theory, Strength-Based Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Expressive Art & Music Inspired Therapy and Life Skill Building. It is important to heal your mind, body and spirit collectively.

Are you ready to uncover, face and reconcile your past trauma or resolve conflict with important people in your life? Then maybe the time is now to make the first step. You can do it!

Therapy offers many opportunities to become a lifelong learner of oneself. It creates a path of evolved thinking and new behaviors to apply as you walk along your journey toward your best self. As your therapist, I am committed to walking alongside you, until you are ready to fly.
