Nikki Lavarias

If you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or wanting to process trauma, you don't have to face it alone. Whether you are navigating big life changes, anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply longing to feel more like yourself again, therapy can offer a space for healing, clarity, and growth. I work with teenagers and adults from all walks of life, aiming to create a secure space to explore what matters most to you. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, PTSD, C-PTSD, and trauma. My approach is grounded in empathy and attunement, using evidence-based methods like DBT, EMDR, TF-CBT, and person-centered therapy. As your therapist, my role is to walk alongside you, offering compassion, curiosity, and a calm, grounded presence. If it’s meaningful for you, I can also integrate faith into our work together. We can start with a free 15-minute consultation to see if it feels like a good fit. Specialties: I've received training in EMDR/Polyvagal informed EMDR, TF-CBT, and CPT. I have experience particularly in working with sexual trauma. I can offer therapeutic modalities that are evidence based while also working with you on what feels like the best way to engage in your healing. Credentials & Experience: I have been working with clients who have experienced trauma since 2022 as an intern and graduated from Asbury Theological Seminary in 2023. I am a LPC and I specialize in trauma, specifically sexual abuse.
