Nikki Schmidt – Counselor, MA, CTP, STIP (she, they)

Welcome! Therapy is a daunting process. When you’re ready to start, I’d like to be the therapist walking down the path of healing and growth with you.
I am a fat, biracial, queer, neurodivergent, and disabled therapist carving out a space in the mental health world for those who have been pushed aside. At this time, you may feel lost, stuck, or unsure about how to make the changes in your life that you want to see. You may be seeking relief from past pain, clarity about your experiences, or tools to thrive as your authentic self. In our work together, we will rewrite your narrative and find peace, understanding, and meaning. I utilize an integrative, eclectic approach with teens and adults to navigate various issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, culture/identity issues, shame, and people-pleasing. I also work with those navigating chronic conditions, disability, neurodivergence, body image, and sex related issues. I understand that seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’ve never had a space that truly affirmed your identity or experiences! If you’re ready to start your journey with someone who will truly see and walk with you, I invite you to connect with me. Even if I’m not your perfect fit, I’ll work to help you find your match!
