Nikki Schwisow, MSW, LCSW

Have you lost yourself and constantly seeking validation and acceptance from others? Does this lead to a life of chaos, confusion, and unhappiness? Imagine a life where decisions reflect YOUR desires and needs. I don’t want you to wake up every day bound by the chaos in your brain but fueled by clarity and self-love, living in harmony with your true self. I want you to be free to live authentically, so your life echos your values and aspirations. I understand what it’s like to say “yes” when your soul is screaming “no!” and to live in constant turmoil, caught in the webs of other people’s expectations. I have been helping people build resiliency and take back their life for years, and I can help you. I am not a smile and nod therapist. I am direct and solution focused. I will challenge you to help you see areas that may be in your blind spots. It may be hard work at times, but we will also laugh. I am also trained in a number of modalities to assist you with anxiety, trauma, people pleasing tendencies, and grief. I am EMDR trained. I am constantly learning to increase my skills to help you through your current struggles. Change can happen for you. I see it every day in the clients I work with and it can happen for you as well. With over a decade working in the mental health space, I saw that many people were entangled in a life, not of their own making, but rather crafted by societal norms or the expectations of family and friends. I noticed a profound gap in genuine, proactive, and transformative therapy approaches, so I focus on providing innovative and direct solutions, guiding individuals back to who they really are. No matter your race, gender, orientation, religious beliefs, or background I will maintain an open space for you and will always do my best to help. You are not alone, let's work together to get your life back on track. If you would like to schedule a free consultation call to ensure I am the right therapist for you, please send me an appointment request. If you want to learn more call, text, or email me. I look forward to hearing from you.
