Hi there, I'm Dr. Nikia! I’m a licensed professional counselor with a doctorate in clinical psychology, experienced across inpatient, outpatient, residential, and community settings. I support individuals who carry heavy emotional and professional loads. I specialize in anxiety, burnout, trauma, identity stress, and the pressure to always stay “on.” I use a collaborative, grounding approach, integrating CBT, mindfulness, narrative, and strengths-based work. Together, we explore patterns, build insight, and develop sustainable coping rooted in your lived experience.
We identify what matters most and turn it into achievable steps. I support boundary-setting, challenging inner criticism, and building tools that fit real life, celebrating progress without pressure.
I’m warm, validating, and direct when helpful. I listen deeply, encourage reflection, and ask gentle questions that create clarity and insight at your pace.
Take the first step to help. Call or Nikia Kirkendoll now - (520) 655-7985
