Nikki Barnett,
LMSW

PSYCHOTHERAPIST

I help you see the world with fresh eyes. My goal is to help you create a clear sense of self and identify the roadblocks that are keeping you from finding happiness and fulfillment. 

I will teach you how to focus on what changes are within your control and empower you to develop habits and routines to design the lifestyle, relationships and career you want and deserve. My approach is empathetic and strengths-based, combining Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Human-Centered Therapy and Mindfulness, providing an individualized experience based on your needs.


My therapy superpower is…

My ability to engage you in deep reflection and to create mindfulness practices and practical action plans you can use in everyday life.

My clients describe me as…

Providing unconditional positive regard while offering a safe place to unpack complex emotions. I have the ability to go deep with my clients and offer concrete ways to improve your quality of life.

My favorite quote is…

“You either walk inside your story and own it, or you stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness.”
- Brene Brown
