Hi, I'm Nicoyia!

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSW-A) who is passionate about creating a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where children, adolescents, adults, and families can feel heard, supported, and empowered. I believe healing happens through connection, compassion, and the courage to keep showing up—even on the hard days.

My therapeutic approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I strive to meet each client where they are while helping them develop practical coping skills, improve emotional well-being, strengthen relationships, and navigate life's challenges with confidence. I recognize that every person's journey is unique, and I work collaboratively with clients to create goals that align with their values and individual needs.

Throughout my career, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, family conflict, behavioral concerns, trauma, and everyday stressors. My experience includes providing individual and family therapy, conducting Comprehensive Clinical Assessments (CCAs), facilitating intensive family-based services, crisis support, care coordination, and collaborating with schools and community providers to help clients access the resources they need to thrive.

I am especially passionate about supporting individuals and families through difficult seasons of life, helping parents strengthen communication within the family, and empowering clients to recognize their resilience while building healthier patterns for lasting change. My goal is for every client to leave sessions feeling understood, encouraged, and equipped with tools they can use beyond the therapy room.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Austin Peay State University and my Bachelor of Social Work from Austin Peay State University.

It is a privilege to walk alongside clients as they pursue healing, growth, and meaningful change. I look forward to supporting you as you discover your strengths, build resilience, and create a life that reflects your goals and values.
