Find a therapist in New Hartford, NY — covered by insurance

I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner serving Suffolk County, NY. I provide outpatient mental health care across the lifespan, with experience supporting clients with a range of concerns, including autism spectrum-related needs

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.

With over 8 years of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complexities of anxiety, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. My background spans a variety of clinical and educational settings, which has given me a deep understanding of how social and behavioral patterns impact our daily lives. I believe that while life’s challenges are inevitable, staying "stuck" doesn't have to be. I'm here to help you tap into your innate resilience and build the practical tools needed to reclaim your sense of balance and emotional well-being.

Hi there, and welcome!

Congrats on taking the first step. As a licensed psychotherapist, my passion is listening and tuning into my clients' strengths, challenges, and what's holding them back from experiencing their best selves - and going from there. I work with adults of all ages, and specialize in trauma, anxiety, and depression. I hold a Masters from Fordham University's Graduate School of Social Services, completed a two-year training program at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy, and am EMDR trained.

I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York state. I completed her master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling at Molloy College. I have over 13 years of experience working in the field of human services and mental health. I have worked closely with adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. I am known for my resilient spirit and ability to provide unconditional positive regard.

Hi there and welcome!

My priority is supporting clients on their journeys towards personal healing & growth.

In 2010, I received my MSW/LMSW. While doing outpatient clinical work at the NYC non-profit agency JBFCS, I became an LCSW. In 2016, I began to establish my private psychotherapy practice, focusing on young and professional adults presenting with a broad variety of life challenges.

I am an incredibly empathetic therapist who's joy is to provide a safe space to my clients. I utilize a variety of counseling theories in order to provide services. I am engaging and inquisitive and enjoy invoking humor within the sessions when appropriate.
