Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Johnson City, NY covered by Cigna

Welcome - I'm so glad you're here! I know finding a therapist can be daunting, but it is so worth it when you find someone you can trust. Whether you are navigating a new challenge life has thrown at you or are choosing to tackle a longstanding problem, I would be honored to be part of your team. Clients from all walks of life are welcome. I value clients' diversity and aim to treat each individual as holistically as possible. If you are looking to grow yourself and your relationships into the best that they can be, I would love to meet with you and accompany you on that journey.

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 believe in continuing the pursuit of normalizing mental health treatment. It can be challenging going through the process of accepting and creating the momentum to take those steps, but it is a testament to your personal strength. I have been providing therapy services since 2021 as a Licensed Master Social Worker, and have been providing services as a fully licensed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2025. I work with clients between the ages of 18-75 who experience a range of mental health conditions and needs.

I’m Rachel Schimmel, a licensed clinical social worker with 15+ years of experience specializing in anxiety and couples therapy. I work with individuals and partners who feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or disconnected from themselves or each other. My approach is focused on helping you understand what’s really going on beneath the anxiety, frustration, or resentment.

I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.

I believe therapy is most effective when it comes from both professional training and real-life experience I have over 47 years experience. In addition to studying psychology, philosophy, theology, and the arts, I believe therapists should live fully and use what they’ve learned to help others grow into their fullest selves. I have a Master of Social Work from Fordham, an Advanced Clinical Certificate from NYU, and more than four decades of experience helping people.

My mission is to help people like yourself to silence the noise in this world and recalibrate in order to move forward in living to your full potential

I look forward to the opportunity to see if I am the right fit to help you on your journey

I hae a collaborative approach in working with clients with a wide range of backgrounds.
