I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from the University of Minnesota. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), a credential granted by the Minnesota Board of Social Work. With over 30 years of dedicated experience, I have specialized in working with individuals addressing a variety of challenges, including depression, the impact of divorce, adjustments to new environments, anxiety, and relationship issues. I also support families navigating the complexities of divorce. I understand that considering therapy can be a significant and often daunting step for many. To ease this transition, I offer a personable, empathetic approach that fosters a welcoming, supportive environment. My therapeutic practice is grounded in Reality Therapy, and I am certified in Choice Theory, a pioneering psychological model developed by Dr. William Glasser. Reality Therapy diverges from traditional mental health frameworks by focusing on individuals facing universal human challenges, rather than labeling these experiences as mental illnesses. This empowering approach emphasizes personal responsibility and provides individuals with the autonomy to choose how they wish to move forward, fostering a sense of control and self-determination in their journey towards mental well-being. My goal is to guide clients in discovering practical solutions that resonate with their unique life circumstances.

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 :)

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Illinois, serving women who carry it all. The ones who hold everything together for everyone else. The high-functioning, the capable, the ones people lean on. The ones who rarely get asked how they are actually doing. In my work, I support women navigating burnout, anxiety, identity shifts, relationship patterns, perfectionism, and the quiet exhaustion of being the strong one. Many of my clients are used to performing wellness long before they learn what it feels like to actually be well. Some are processing earlier wounds. Some are learning to have needs. Some are simply tired. My approach is grounded, relational, and deeply human. I draw from attachment-based, trauma-informed, and mindfulness-based frameworks, and I pay close attention to the stories women have inherited about who they are allowed to be. I do not believe healing requires you to prove anything, earn anything, or arrive polished. You get to come as you are. You do not have to keep carrying it alone. You do not have to be in crisis to deserve support. And you do not have to have the words for it yet. That is part of what we build together. If you are ready to set some of it down, I would be honored to sit with you.
