My name is Nikki Lewis (she/her/hers) and I’ve been a professional counselor for six years. I am a Baltimore native, returning home after 14 years in Texas, who loves my family, animals, and listening to 90s R&B. I am LGBTQIA+ allied and affirming, and I offer a safe, nonjudgmental, and welcoming environment for all. I am here to help!

I have had rewarding experiences working with couples, helping them to strengthen their connections and heal wounds. I am especially passionate about helping interracial couples navigate some of the challenges that can arise in relationships between people of different races or racialized ethnicities. I also enjoy working with individuals who are grappling with every day stress, traumatic experiences including race-based trauma, anxiety, depression, or general world-weariness.

I practice a person-centered, culturally responsive approach to treatment. I have completed training in Levels 1 and 2 of Gottman Method Couples Therapy, which utilizes assessment and research-based interventions to help couples strengthen their relationships. I also draw from the influences of Emotionally Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
