I have over 10 years of experience working with individuals who are struggling to find their way in a complicated world. My practice offers a space for anyone who is looking for a sense of shelter and refuge where they can breathe, process their thoughts and feelings and find meaning in their life. I believe that everyone has the capacity to change and develop internal strength and resilience. It is my goal to empower those who are seeking new ways of looking at themselves and their relationships. Talk therapy has the ability to soothe our hearts and minds. More than ever, we need to find ways to reprogram our fear-driven minds.
Life begins when you know who you are. But the path to self-knowledge can be fraught and hard to find. “Be yourself,” “create yourself,” “find yourself”–these are some of the injunctions that might waylay any earnest seeker. When we learn to sit with the uncomfortable parts of self–the parts that make us want to crawl out of our skin–revelation can occur.
Talk therapy can be a place to learn how to be interested in ourselves and in our past. When we learn to love ourselves the way we wish to be loved, our relationships can flourish. We can deepen our genuine interest in others. When it works, psychotherapy can inspire incredible capacity and resolve to bend towards the future and embrace change
As a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, I am a firm believer in the importance of taking care of your mental health. I have worked with individuals, families, and groups of all ages, supporting clients through concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions.
Hello — I’m Dr. Nikkah, a licensed clinical psychologist based in New York City with over 20 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate interpersonal relationships and personal conflicts. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues or life transitions. My therapeutic style is eclectic, as I have training in a multitude of therapeutic modalities, e.g. CBT, psychodynamic therapy, solution focused etc. to best match your specific needs.
I believe therapy is most effective when you feel comfortable being yourself. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard and supported while we work together toward meaningful change. I value building a genuine therapeutic relationship and believe that honesty, collaboration, and even humor have an important place in the healing process.
My experience includes helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges. Throughout my career, I've worked in nonprofit and community mental health settings, supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and other mental health concerns. I received my Masters in Social Work at Florida State University. I relocated to New York City in 2015.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Nyack, NY
Searching for therapists in Nyack starts with knowing what kind of support you want and what type of therapist may fit your needs. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match what you want to work on. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, communicate, and support people with needs like yours.
In a smaller market like Nyack, local therapist availability may vary, especially if you prefer a specific specialty, schedule, or in-person office nearby. Expanding your search to virtual therapy with therapists licensed in New York can give you more options while still keeping care connected to your location. You can also consider nearby areas across Rockland County, appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare approach, fit, and availability in one place.
Therapy in Nyack can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Nyack, review detailed bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
