Welcome to Social Work Evolved Inc., Counselling & Rehabilitation Services. "We provide effective, compassionate and evidence based treatment."

I welcome individuals, couples and families who identify as heterosexual or LGBTQ+. In session, we focus on emotions and how to create safety, trust and confidence in your interactions with family members, significant others, colleagues and friends.

As a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO), for the last 10 years I am offering individual, couple, relationship and family therapy, therapy groups and workshops. I also provide individual and group coaching. I received my education in various European Universities in the following areas: Theology (Catholic University of Lublin, Poland), Science of Education (Pontifical Salisian University, Rome, Italy), Psychology and Psychotherapy (Pontifical University Regina Apostolorum/Skinner Institute, (Rome, Italy); Oxford Center of CBT; UICBT; Austrian Institute of EMDR (Vienna, Austria).

Do you feel overwhelmed, stressed and depressed, hating your job and fighting with a partner or a family that refuses to adopt your views? Do you struggle to be the person you want to be? I offer confidential counselling and I believe in a client-centred approach. I am specialized in the field of memory studies, being interested in how identity is shaped, what are the paths of mental care and how to come to terms with anger, grief and depression. I also welcome immigrants of all nationalities dealing with acculturation, including family crisis, social anxiety and job related stress.

I have always had a passion for holding space for others as they confront pain and distress. I consider it my greatest privilege to emotionally support individuals as they navigate through the challenges of their life. In fact, my aim is to support you by helping you get in touch with what is hijacking you - emotional wounds, fears, blindspots, negative beliefs and thinking patterns. I am equipped to guide you through various concerns including anxiety, emotional distress, grief, trauma and loss and have worked with countless individuals, children and parents over the years.

Hey! I’m Nikki. My practice is focused on nurturing the mental health and well-being of women and girls through the lifecycle. I believe in taking a compassionate, non-judgmental, and strength-based approach to healing, and I am passionate about empowering clients to come home to their authentic selves.

I support youth and young adults struggling with focus and concentration, impulsivity, lack of motivation and other symptoms of ADHD, as well as their families, who are looking for realistic, effective solutions and next steps from someone who has a well-rounded understanding of the condition. Though they are often thought to be depressed or anxious, or assumed to be lazy or attention-seeking, the symptoms with which they are struggling are often by-products of undiagnosed ADHD.

It is my belief that for healing and growth to occur for someone seeking help, acceptance without judgement is crucial, recognizing and acknowledging the woundedness and unmet needs within the client. This perspective encompasses and acknowledges the entire person with whom I am working, including the physical, intellectual, emotional, interpersonal and spiritual well being of the client. No one seeking help is turned away due to the condition from which they are suffering. My goal for each client is to provide a safe, trusting space so that healing and growth can be experienced.

Enter a place of hope, non- judgment, and solutions. I will assist you concretely, to explore issues, learn lessons, empower yourself and create the life journey of your dreams. My intervention draws upon over 30 years of clinical experience and encompasses Solution Focused, Insight Oriented, EMDR, CBT and many other proven techniques and therapeutic approaches. I am a cancer survivor and can 100% help you transform "fear" to "faith". With your physical conditions, addictions, anxiety/panic, depression, trauma, marital, divorce relationship and other issues, you will see that your past, internal dialogue, thoughts and communication skills are key.

Are you feeling lost and stuck? Do you believe that your "life compass" has stopped working and not sure how to navigate your life moving forward? Are you feeling unheard or having a hard time expressing how you feel at the moment? Do you believe that your unique traumatic experiences have taken away your resilience and ability to effectively cope without relying on temporary solutions which down the road may have contributed to confusing you more, and making your relationships more challenging? You are not alone if you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or other mental health challenges trauma has brought into your life.
