Nikunjkumar "Nik", LAC

I am a compassionate Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) who is deeply committed to offering person-centered care tailored to each individual's unique needs. Fluent in Gujarati, Hindi, and English, I strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where anyone, regardless of their background, feels understood and valued.

Fueled by a heartfelt passion for exploring the intricacies of human experiences, my approach is anchored in empathy and cultural sensitivity. I genuinely listen and appreciate diverse perspectives, enabling me to guide clients through life’s challenges with kindness and understanding.

My mission is to empower individuals on their journey toward resilience, fostering self-awareness and encouraging meaningful personal growth. I am dedicated to providing a safe and respectful space where individuals can explore their feelings and aspirations, nurturing a sense of hope and connection in their lives.

I offer a space that’s warm, supportive, and judgment-free—where you can show up just as you are. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and we’ll work together to understand what’s going on beneath the surface and move toward the changes you want to see in your life. I’m not tied to one specific theory or method. Instead, I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches—pulling in elements from person-centered therapy, CBT, mindfulness, and others—depending on what fits best for you.
