About me

Hello! My name is Nick Harper and I am a licensed clinical social worker in Kansas and Colorado, with almost 10 years of experience providing individual and group therapy. I utilize a strength-based, solution focused approach. You will be in the driver's seat regarding your goals. I will help you see how to capitalize on your strengths in order to feel better and more confident.

I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space that welcomes people of all diverse backgrounds and experiences. I focus on teaching individuals skill including setting healthy boundaries, learn to communicate their wants and needs, and cultivating healthy relationships with others in their life. I have experience treating a range of issues including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, substance use, and working with the LGBTQ+ individuals.

I earned my Masters of Social Work from Columbia University School of Social Work in New York City in 2010. During graduate school, I completed internships at inpatient psychiatric units as well as outpatient individual psychotherapy with adult LGBTQ individuals. I have spent the past 9 years in a variety of settings, including: community mental health, substance use programs, inpatient psychiatric health, and most currently in an HIV/Sexual Health Clinic in Denver, Colorado.

You’ve already made the first step to a better life by seeking support. I look forward to being a part of your journey!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Nick Harper. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I am happy that Nick Harper responds to my emails in a timely manner. While I realize he is constrained by time, he gets the gist of what I am trying to convey and respond with things I need to think about. I cannot STAND therapists who parrot back to me what I say and stop there. I can look in a mirror for that. I want actionable steps and he gives that to me. So far, I am very pleased.

Written on Dec 21, 2019 after therapy with Nick for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes
