Nikki Essary
Introduction
Hey there, I'm Nikki! You may be an adult navigating major life transitions—questioning or deconstructing religious beliefs, coming out as LGBTQIA+, or transitioning from monogamy to polyamory or other forms of consensual non-monogamy. You may feel relief and freedom alongside grief, anxiety, or uncertainty. You’re seeking support with identity exploration, relationship changes, and rebuilding self-trust while creating a life aligned with your values. Therapy can be a place to slow down, listen to yourself more closely, and find steadiness while everything feels in flux. I provide affirming therapy for adults experiencing life transitions related to religious deconstruction, LGBTQIA+ identity, and non-monogamous relationships. I practice from a Gestalt lens-exploring how your present thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations interact—helping you notice what feels authentic, what feels inherited, and what no longer fits. When your beliefs, identity, or relationships are changing, it can feel lonely or destabilizing—especially if your support system doesn’t fully understand. You deserve therapy that honors your lived experience. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space to explore what’s shifting and move forward with greater clarity and self-compassion.
