Person-Centered Therapists in Illinois

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.
