Meet Nakita

 Nakita is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nearly 20 years of experience helping young people feel seen, understood, and supported. She studied at The Tennessee State University and earned her graduate degree from Union University, but what really matters to her is walking alongside you on this journey called life. She knows that with the right support, the direction of your life can change in big ways. Nakita wants you to know: your feelings are real, your voice matters, and healing is possible.

How She Can Help

 Life can be messy, confusing, and sometimes heavy, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. This part of life is huge: you’re learning who you are, how to cope when things get tough, and what it means to believe in yourself. Sometimes it feels like you’re supposed to handle it all without a safe place to talk. Nakita wants to be that safe place for you.

If you’re wondering what it’s like to sit across from her, think of the vibe from her playlist:
🎵 “Get By” – Talib Kweli
🎵 “Broken Clocks” – SZA
🎵 “Pieces of Me” – Ledisi
🎵 “Stand Still” – Sabrina Claudio
🎵 “Survivor” – Destiny’s Child

That’s how she shows up: steady, real, and deeply invested in your healing.

Therapy with Nakita is real, grounded, and judgment-free. You don’t have to clean it up before you bring it in. Whether you’re carrying grief, trauma, anxiety, or just trying to hold it together while everything around you feels like too much, she’ll help you sort through it with compassion, skill, and presence.

Therapy with Nakita feels like:
✨ Honest — You can say the hard stuff. She’s heard it, she sees you.
💛 Supportive — She’ll hold space without sugarcoating the work.
💪 Empowering — You’ll leave with real tools and insight.
🛡️ Safe — No judgment, just a space to heal and grow at your own pace.

She uses approaches like EMDR therapy to help your brain process painful memories so they don’t feel as strong or scary anymore. But more than any technique, her focus is meeting you exactly where you are and helping you move forward at your own pace.

In Her Free Time

Outside of work, Nakita loves:
🏀 Cheering on the Memphis Grizzlies (she’s a BIG fan!)
✈️ Traveling & exploring new places
🛍️ Shopping & finding cool new styles
💙 Spending time with family & friends

If you’re looking for someone who truly listens, doesn’t judge, and helps you feel safe while figuring life out, Nakita will walk with you every step of the way.
