Healing from trauma and finding balance in life can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m Nikki Smith, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16+ years of experience supporting children, adolescents, families, and adults. I draw on trauma-informed approaches, family work, and even equine-assisted therapy to help clients process challenges and build resilience. Together, we’ll create a safe, supportive space for growth, healing, and meaningful change.
I utilize evidence-based therapies, including, Psychotherapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy & Trauma-Focused Therapy.
The reason Lifebulb offers such exceptional therapy is simple: our therapists work in a setting designed for their success. We offer licensed providers, flexible hours, virtual and office sessions, and compatibility with many insurers. Book or call today.
