Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Detroit, MI

My work is trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and relational. I begin with “What happened and how did your nervous system learn to survive it?” Emotional neglect is painful precisely because it is invisible. I create a space where your inner experience is met with steadiness, clarity, and care. Healing attachment wounds requires presence that stays.

Hello. I would describe myself as being kind, caring and full of positive energy. I have 8years of experience working with substance abuse. I have 10 years of experience working in the mental health field. I graduated with both my Bachelor's and Master's in Social Work from Wayne State University. I have experience working in schools with middle school and high school. My preference is to work with co-occurring disorders (mental health diagnosis and substance abuse diagnosis).

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of experience in behavioral health, including more than a decade as a psychiatric registered nurse. I earned my post-master’s certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from the University of Cincinnati and hold a Master of Science in Nursing with a focus in Clinical Nurse Specialist and Nursing Education from the University of Detroit Mercy.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds in outpatient, residential, correctional, and community-based settings. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, PTSD, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.

I believe mental health care should be collaborative, respectful, and individualized. My goal is to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understand your treatment options, and feel empowered to take an active role in your mental health and overall well-being.

You do not have to figure everything out alone. You deserve to feel understood, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change in your life. I am an open, understanding, and out of the box thinker who believes in helping you recognize your strengths and build a foundation you can stand on. I work especially well with parents and families, with experience in infant mental health, family therapy, crisis management, and supporting children with emotional disturbances. I became a therapist because people have always trusted me with their stories, and I genuinely love helping people feel better. My goal is to create a space where you can authentically be yourself without judgment.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with 21 years of experience and a background that

goes well beyond the therapy room. Before I became a therapist, I worked across a wide

range of fields — and I bring that broad human perspective into every session. I don't

approach your struggle with a clipboard. I approach it with genuine curiosity about who you

are.

I'm trained in EMDR, CBT, ACT, and DBT, which means I have real tools for real problems —

anxiety that won't quiet down, ADHD that's been dismissed for years, trauma that's never

been properly addressed, grief that doesn't follow a timeline, or a relationship that needs

rebuilding. I work with adults, older adults and seniors, and adolescents, and I offer both in-

person sessions in Fenton, Michigan and telehealth throughout the state.

I also accept Medicare, VA Community Care, TRICARE, and over 25 other insurance plans

— because access to quality care shouldn't be the barrier that stops someone from getting

better.

Life is full of joys and sorrows, and none of us should have to get through it alone. I'm Nikki, a Michigan therapist specializing in perinatal and postpartum care, tweens, adolescents, and young adults. I see therapy as an essential part of mind-body-spirit wellbeing. I'd love to hear from you.

Hello!
