Therapy and the journey to self-exploration can be hard. Together, we can navigate your path toward improved mental health and emotional well-being. My approach is solution-focused, centered on the immediate obstacles you are facing. While how you got here matters, what you choose to do next can have an even greater impact. As a clinical social worker with experience across private practice, hospital social work, parenting education, and community care, I bring a broad range of experience to support us in working through challenges together.
Welcome! I’m Dr. Niesha W. Collor, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who believes that therapy should be a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing and begin creating meaningful change.
With a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision and experience working with individuals navigating mental health concerns, trauma, addiction, recovery, life transitions, and emotional challenges, I approach counseling with compassion, understanding, and respect for each person’s unique story.
I believe you are more than the challenges you are facing. Your past may have influenced you, but it does not have to determine your future. My role is not to tell you how to live your life, but to walk alongside you as you gain insight, develop healthier coping skills, strengthen your relationships, and work toward the life you want.
My counseling approach incorporates evidence-based strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and other approaches tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and recovery, self-esteem, relationships, or simply feeling stuck, you do not have to navigate it alone.
Therapy is your space. Your story matters. Your healing matters. And your next chapter can look different from your last.
I look forward to creating a therapeutic relationship built on trust, collaboration, authenticity, and respect as we work together toward your goals.
Sometimes life feels overwhelming not because of one big moment, but because the stress, worry, and emotional weight have slowly built over time. Anxiety, depression, family conflict, trauma, or major life changes can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and the people you care about most. You don't have to navigate those challenges alone. I partner with individuals and families experiencing anxiety, depression, family issues, LGBTQIA+ concerns, and trauma so they can strengthen relationships, build resilience, and create a greater sense of peace in their everyday lives. Working with children, adolescents, adults, and families, I strive to create a warm, supportive environment where every person feels safe, respected, and empowered to grow.
Are you finding it hard to navigate everyday life? Are your relationships suffering? If you answered “yes” to these questions, please know you CAN live a different life. Relationship issues, trauma, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, and many other problems are challenging, to say the least. Therapy provides a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings, learn coping strategies, and improve your relationships. You do not have to go it alone when therapy is available.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years experience in mental and behavioral health. I have worked with all ages from 0-65+, and am certified in a variety of evidence-based practices that aid individuals and families in reaching their goals. These include, but are not limited to CBT, Multisystemic Therapy, Child Parent Psychotherapy, Positive Parenting Program, and many others. I am also in pursuit of my doctoral degree with a focus on counseling psychology.
I am here to help. I have a passion for encouraging people to live their best lives and aim to create a safe, down-to-earth therapeutic space tailored to your unique needs - whether that includes deepening self-understanding, developing practical tools, gaining clarity in one or more areas of your life, or simply having a genuinely supportive place to talk, process, and reflect. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply while developing practical strategies to navigate life's challenges.
