Nikki Hughs

My communication style

I value an open, non-judgmental, straightforward, but easy-going approach. I strive to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels safe to explore. I believe in transparency as a therapeutic alliance and often offer challenges to help foster growth within the safe space.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist started when I decided to become a preschool teacher. I then realized I wanted to pursue my career in mental health counseling. I went on to work in forensic psychology, facilitating groups within a prison setting.

My goals for you

I value the partnership and the journey we will take together. I hope to work towards creating goals that are attainable, achievable, simple, and reflective. My hope is that you are able to see the goals, create coping skills and interventions to achieve them, and reassess the treatment plan as needed.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. It's completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment. We'll take it one step at a time, and I'm here to guide you through each step of the process.
