I’m Nisha, a relational, trauma-informed therapist and founder of Inner Work Psychotherapy.
I work with adults navigating unhealthy or challenging relationships. Many of my clients are exploring the impact of growing up in dysfunctional family systems while working through difficult family dynamics, attachment concerns, and challenges with understanding and regulating their emotions across various areas of life.
I believe everyone has the capacity to create new patterns that support the life they want to live. My mission is to help people understand themselves more deeply, break cycles that no longer serve them, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.
Together, we’ll work toward helping you live a more intentional, values-driven life.
I see clients ages 18–50 for individual therapy and provide group therapy as well.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with more than 15 years of experience helping adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigate life's challenges. I specialize in working with anxiety, ADHD, relationship concerns, stress, and major life transitions. As the owner and clinical director of Waterbrook Therapy Group, I'm committed to providing compassionate, practical, and personalized care that helps clients move toward greater peace, resilience, and well-being.

I'm a licensed psychologist and consider myself a generalist with a wide variety of clinical interests including issues related to family of origin, self esteem, identity development, depression, anxiety, stress, and interpersonal relationships.
Attending to mental health can have such a profound effect on quality of life and ability to function! Yet, it can seem so vulnerable and scary to make that first appointment, even if we know it will help. Great job leaning into that discomfort, prioritizing your needs, and pushing toward growth!
Welcome! I’m glad you’re here.
I am a licensed therapist in Illinois with over 13 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, struggling with relationship or family concerns, adjusting to a major life transition, or experiencing depression, you don’t have to face it alone.
I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. My goal is to create a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions, gain new perspectives, and develop practical strategies to move forward with confidence.
Reaching out for support is a meaningful first step, and it takes courage to begin. Whatever brings you to therapy, I look forward to meeting you where you are and partnering with you on your journey toward healing, growth, and lasting positive change.

As a therapist with five years of experience, I have worked with people facing a variety of struggles including depression, anxiety, and stress, as well as life transitions, surviving past trauma and abuse, feeling suicidal, and states of mania and psychosis. Our therapy will be a warm and introspective space where you can expect to be treated with dignity. I affirm LGBTQ+ identities; I welcome persons of different cultures, races, nationalities, and religious beliefs. Above all, I look forward to knowing you as a unique and singular person.
I have been a therapist for over 20 years and have expertise in depression and anxiety, grief, relationship issues, life transitions, women's issues, and problematic anger. Although I work with people of all faiths and backgrounds, I also enjoy providing faith-based counseling to Christian clients to support them spiritually in treatment. I earned my BA in psychology from Butler University and my MA in Clinical Psychology from Trinity International University. I am curious and teachable, willing to learn from observation and from others. I am a wife, daughter, sister, and mom of three ranging from elementary school to adulthood, with disabilities and chronic illness. I love spending time with my family, good coffee, and taking a walk with a good friend.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Peoria, IL
Searching for therapists in Peoria starts with finding care that matches your needs. A therapist may support concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and therapy style fit what you want to address. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a smaller city like Peoria, the right local match may depend on more than office location. Virtual appointments can expand your options across Illinois while still letting you choose in-person therapy when that fits your schedule. Consider practical details like appointment availability, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and how their session style is described. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Peoria can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search therapists who are accepting new patients, check your insurance, see estimated session costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care. You can browse therapists in Peoria, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
