I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) and have been in practice since 2011. I provide individual therapy, couples therapy & family therapy online as well as in an outpatient setting. Special areas of interest include working with those struggling with emotions, relationships, stress management and general life obstacles. I also have a special area of interest in animal assisted therapy and use of emotional support animals. I can help by validating your feelings, hearing your story and empowering you to make steps towards change. I can help you identify your feelings and give you strategies to help regulate emotions. I can provide you with techniques that will help to decrease symptoms while working to get at the root of the symptom while supporting you throughout the process. It's hard to reach out and ask for support. But support is an option. Personally, I follow Brene Brown's words: "We don't have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to". Feel free to call or email with any questions or concerns or to set up an appointment. Take care.

Hello, my name is Nikki Hubbs. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Minnesota, with over 10 years of experience working with children and adolescents (ages 5-18) in an in-school setting, as well as adult individuals and families in a clinical setting. I have worked with children, teens, adults, and families with a variety of concerns and life challenges such as depression, anxiety, oppositional defiant disorder, social concerns, trauma, gender identity concerns, grief and loss, behavioral issues, relationship issues, parenting problems, addiction, suicidality, communication barriers, eating disorders, cognitive distortions, OCD, ADHD, and social, relational, and self-esteem difficulties. As a therapist, I try to remain open-minded, unbias and curious with each and every person I work with, allowing me to better understand the unique experiences, struggles, and issues each individual may be facing. I recognize the uncomfortableness, uneasiness, and uncertainty that therapy may bring so therefore, I try to lessen those feelings by always utilizing genuine compassion, empathy, understanding, and listening. I believe it take strength and courage for a person to reach out for help, to recognize they are unable to do it alone, and to take the first steps towards making change for themselves. Each client's situation is different, so therefore, treatment plans are individualized and uniquely tailored to address identified issues and concerns that each client has and would like to work towards changing for the better. I utilize and combine a multitude of therapeutic approaches and interventions in therapy, most often using a Humanistic, Person-Centered Approach, some other examples are; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, Strategic Family Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy. I commend you for recognizing the want and need for change within yourself, and that sometimes life's challenges are bigger than what we are able to handle alone. Please know you are not alone and I am here to help. Thanks :)
