Nikkia Brown

My communication style

I am outgoing, social, understanding, flexible, and patient. I ask a lot of questions because I want to get to know and understand my clients on a deeper level.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because family, friends, neighbors, and strangers have been telling me their life stories since I was a young girl. I watched my maternal and paternal grandmothers be the healers for their communities. People came to talk to them about the various things happening in their lives.

My goals for you

I prefer to set goals with a client after building rapport with them. I want to discuss the client's unmet need(s) before we begin setting goals.

Our first session

In our first session, I'll ask a lot of questions to get to know you better—about your family, work, or school, hobbies, activities, and anything else you enjoy talking about. It's a chance for us to start building a picture of who you are and what's important to you, so we can create a space that feels comfortable and supportive.
