Nik Wicks (they/them) is a dedicated counselor who works with adolescents, young/emerging adults, and established adults. They specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ adolescents, particularly those who are neurodiverse and/or experiencing depression or anxiety. Overall, Nik views therapy as a process of guided and assisted change—like a road trip, where the client is behind the wheel and they are in the passenger seat, helping to pick a destination and give directions while letting the client drive the car. This collaborative approach makes the journey as meaningful as the destination. Nik has a strong interest in holistic and trauma-informed care. Utilizing an eclectic approach, they draw from a social constructivist and person-centered/strengths-based perspective. They frequently incorporate tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), as well as Art Therapy. They have completed TF-CBT training. Deciding to start the therapeutic journey is half the battle- so let me congratulate you on making it this far! If my way of working resonates with you, please don't hesitate to reach out.

I work with individuals who need to process through their trauma in order to move forward in life and find themselves stuck. I initially use color therapy to show us which traumatic memories have not yet been processed, as a way to get straight to the source of what is troubling us. I work with those who are experiencing anxiety, depression, body image issues, disordered eating, panic attacks, low self-esteem, decreased levels of happiness, life transitions, and issues with relationships. The overall goal is to find peace, happiness, and love within the self. This will then reflect into one's outside world. I focus on processing trauma that is being stored in the body and how this has changed the way the client sees themselves and their world. I work with the client by helping them process events, tear down old narratives that negatively affect how you live your life today, and rebuild a new narrative that allows a person to live the life they were meant to. I provide a non-judgmental environment that believes all of the knowledge to heal is within the self. I like to view myself as your stepping stone through your healing journey and I am so excited to begin this journey with you. I offer complimentary 15 min. screening calls to see if we would be a good fit, so please reach out!
