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. I work with clients via Telehealth (video appointments) in Utah, Virginia, Texas, Ohio, Nebraska, Washington and New York. 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.
