Hi, I’m Nikki — owner of Dragonfly Haven Wellness LCSW PLLC. I’m looking forward to starting our work together.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University, earned in 2003. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, teens, adults, and families through life’s challenges in both outpatient and school-based mental health settings.
I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. My approach is warm and collaborative, while also helping to point out connections to support your growth. I draw from a blend of psychodynamic therapy, relational approaches, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and Encompass co-occurring treatment to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change.
I’ve recently completed a certified integrative mental health provider course and somatic technique training to focus more on body-based approaches alongside traditional talk therapy to support healing as a whole-person process.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are and knowing that I am here to work alongside you as you move towards change.
I am an incredibly empathetic therapist who's joy is to provide a safe space to my clients. I utilize a variety of counseling theories in order to provide services. I am engaging and inquisitive and enjoy invoking humor within the sessions when appropriate.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a passion for integrative, whole-person care. By blending the principles of integrative psychiatry with a deep understanding of adult medicine, I am committed to treating the mind and body as a unified system. I believe that true wellness requires dedicated attention to both.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Westport, CT
Finding therapists in Westport starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare Westport therapists, look for listed specialties that match what you want to work on. You can also review therapy approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, or other methods noted in a therapist’s bio.
Westport has local therapy options, but appointment availability may vary in smaller markets. Virtual therapy can give you more choice while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Connecticut. As you narrow your search, consider whether you prefer in-person care near Westport, virtual sessions, evening availability, or a therapist who offers a free phone consultation. Reading each profile can help you understand how a therapist structures sessions, communicates, and supports people with needs like yours.
Therapy in Westport can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. Browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
