ABOUT ME
Hi there! I’m Therapist Nicki, aka The Healing Unicorn and I believe healing happens best when we can be authentically ourselves – quirks, passions, and all. As a certified Geek Therapist and therapeutic game master, I’ve discovered that sometimes the most profound breakthroughs happen when we’re rolling dice in a D&D campaign or exploring virtual worlds together. My journey into therapy began with a simple realization: traditional talk therapy, while valuable, doesn’t resonate with everyone. That’s why I’ve specialized in Geek Therapeutic interventions, blending evidence-based practices like CBT and DBT with the rich narratives found in games, comics, and pop culture. Whether we’re using Minecraft to build coping strategies or discussing character development in Baldur’s Gate 3 as a metaphor for personal growth, I’m here to meet you where you are. As a certified sex therapist and kink-aware practitioner specializing in relationships using the Gottman Method, I’m passionate about creating safe spaces for all aspects of human experience. When I’m not in session, you’ll find me immersed in the latest RPG, creating art, crafting the perfect cosplay, or experimenting with new therapeutic techniques that honor both clinical excellence and creative expression. Ready to level up your mental health journey? Let’s explore what’s possible together.
MY THERAPY APPROACH
My therapeutic style is grounded in authenticity, collaboration, and meeting clients exactly where they are. I believe healing happens best in an environment where you can be your true self – whether that’s discussing your latest D&D campaign or exploring deep relationship patterns using the Gottman Method. I take an eclectic approach, drawing from various evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness practices, and somatic interventions. This diverse toolkit allows me to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs and preferences. I also integrate innovative Geek Therapeutic interventions, creating a space where pop culture, gaming, and traditional therapy intersect – an approach that resonates particularly well with clients who haven’t found success in conventional therapy settings. As a certified sex therapist and kink-aware practitioner, I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate relationship challenges, intimacy concerns, and sexual wellness with openness and zero judgment. My Gottman Method training allows me to help build stronger foundations in relationships through research-backed techniques. I work best with clients aged 16-65 who are ready to engage actively in their healing journey. Whether we’re using sand tray therapy, EMDR for trauma processing, mindfulness techniques, somatic work, or exploring virtual worlds, my goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where meaningful change can occur.
