Not currently accepting patients

Hi there, I'm Nikki!

Hi there! My name is Nikki Messer and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. At the heart of my practice, my goal is to help you experience healing and growth as you regain a life worth living.

My approach

My approach is person-centered, therefore your individual needs and goals are used to determine my therapeutic interventions. I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy.

My focus

I support adults and teens living with the challenges of anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, past trauma, and life transitions.

My communication style

My style prioritizes safety and compassion while improving your emotional well-being, exploring relationship dynamics, and coping with adjustments. Together we will challenge automatic thoughts/reactions and identify patterns to build awareness in the way you think, feel, and act.

My first session with you

During our first session, I hope to learn what you brought you to therapy, and not just the recent stuff. I will gather a brief history as we discover what has led up to you seeking therapy at this particular moment. Don't be shy to ask me questions either. Remember, you are looking for the best match for you!
