Nikki Lavarias

Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor, PLPC

I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults from all walks of life, offering a safe and supportive space where you can explore what matters most to you. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, sexual trauma, navigating life changes, and exploring new career paths. As a graduate of Asbury Theological Seminary, I can also integrate spirituality and Christian faith into our sessions if that’s something you value.

In therapy, I take a person-centered approach, meaning I believe you already have the tools within you to create the life you want. Together, we’ll explore your internal and external worlds with curiosity and compassion to help you uncover those tools. I draw from approaches like DBT, EMDR, TF-CBT and Narrative Therapy to meet your unique needs.

I understand that life can bring both incredible connection and deep loss, and the challenges we face can feel overwhelming at times. As someone who has navigated life’s own joys and hardships, I aim to meet you with empathy, understanding, and support as you take steps toward healing and growth. Wherever you are in your journey, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
