Therapists for Seniors in Fort Mitchell, KY
Hello there! My name is Nikki and I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northern Kentucky University in 2023. I have been passionate about advocating for mental health for as long as I can remember.
Working with me, the approach is straightforward: we all face challenges in life, often without the opportunity to express our true feelings. Many of us lack the space to discuss our mental health, even though human connection is essential for our well-being. This struggle to connect can lead to a lack of vulnerability.

In my 25 years of practice I have been trained in many clinical areas of interest, some of which are, high conflict divorce, parenting, trauma, attachment, dissociation and somatic therapies. Currently, my practice leans toward cases involving somatic work, trauma ( single episode event and complex ) and dissociative disorders, as well as parenting and divorce. I also make time for adolescents and school aged children along with their families to achieve emotional regulation for the child and the system in which they are a part. The therapeutic relationship is priority in my work with clients for that is the key to success.

My passion for advocacy and a client-centered approach were cultivated in my early years as an educator, but my intellectual curiosity regarding the process of personal change and the value of interpersonal relationships motivated me to returned to NKU for a Master’s degree in Social Work. Since graduating with an MSW, I have enjoyed working with a wide variety of clients in diverse settings including a hospital, court-mandated program, and most recently an outpatient office and school-based office. I provide individual therapy to children, adolescents and adults, as well as families and couples.

There's a frustration that accomplishment doesn't quite fix. A longing that persists beneath the competence — despite the deadlines met, the right things done, the life that looks, by most measures, like it's working. Something was supposed to arrive with all of this. A fullness. A contentment. A sense of having finally landed. And still it hasn't. Not quite.
I work with accomplished adults who feel this — people doing well by most measures, who want more than symptom relief, more than coping strategies, more than slightly better.

Trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, and/or depression, is preventing you from living your life. Even on good days, your negative self-talk beats you you up. Everyone can be hard on themselves.

Are you wanting more than surface-level change? Are you seeking to understand yourself, your relationships, and the patterns that keep you feeling stuck? Many of the clients I work with are navigating challenging relationship dynamics, including attachment differences, unmet parental needs, adult child-parent relationships, conflict cycles, intimacy or communication struggles, and transitions in long-term partnerships. I also support clients exploring identity, self-knowledge, and grief or loss, with particular experience working with women and LGBTQIA+ clients.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.
How is counseling for seniors and the elderly different from counseling for other age groups?
In general, counseling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialize in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counseling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.
How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.
What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counselors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counselors specializing in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counselors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
