Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you're carrying anxiety, depression, mood changes, or emotions that seem difficult to manage on your own. I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel heard without judgment and supported through life's challenges. Whether you're navigating ADHD, bipolar disorder, anger management concerns, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, identity questions, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you better understand yourself while building the tools you need to move forward. I work with both adolescents and adults, recognizing that every stage of life brings unique experiences and obstacles. Together, we'll create a supportive, collaborative environment where you can explore what's weighing on you, discover your strengths, and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 8.3 mi away • Casselberry, FL


Hey there! My name is Nikki :) a little about me is that I view my clients holistically and from a systems lens. I enjoy learning about my clients within the context of their childhoods, environment, and the culmination of their life experiences. I am very familiar with grief and find fulfillment in helping clients process major life changes and transitions. If clients are open, I incorporate spiritual understanding and meaning-making. As an LMFT, I love to assist clients in improving communication with others, especially loved ones, or to assist in boundary-setting strategies. A huge focus of mine is client empowerment and self-love, which extends to how one navigates the world!

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Orlando

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Orlando starts with looking for identity-affirming care that fits your needs. An affirming therapist may support people navigating identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for therapists who list experience with LGBTQIA+ communities, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse care, or WPATH training. Finding a therapist who offers affirming care matters beyond credentials — it can shape how clearly their approach matches what you want from therapy.

Orlando has a range of counseling options, but the number of LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists can vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options if you want a therapist with specific experience or if in-person offices near you have limited availability. When reviewing therapists, consider appointment times, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Provider bios can help you see how directly a therapist describes their work with LGBTQIA+ people, their communication style, and what a first session may involve.

Therapy in Orlando can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your 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 you book, and compare available appointments in one place. You can review bios, filter for LGBTQIA+ experience, and book directly when you’re ready.
