About My Clients

I invite you to sit with me in this meditative dialogue and to talk about whatever thoughts and feelings come up--no matter how uncomfortable they may be. I am here to hold space and give space; and at times it may seem like I am challenging you. I always hope by the end of our session that there will be a takeaway and that the session may be a healing, restorative, sacred time.

My Background and Approach

As a generalist with over 7 years of experience, I use DBT, CBT, Gestalt, Mindfulness Acceptance, Motivational Interviewing and client-centered, solution focused approaches, as I am aware not one size fits all. I use my clinical knowledge, compassion and intuition to help guide and empower my clients. I am deeply passionate about working with historically disenfranchised, marginalized and minority groups as I am fully aware of how racial, cultural and intergenerational trauma all have an impact on current mood. I truly believe that you have all the tools and techniques at your disposal, it's just a simple act of rediscovering your own powers to change whatever is not working for you. If my profile piques your interest, please contact me via email at Nelsomkalikaho@gmail.com for a free consultation.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I have a strong passion to help the LGBTQ BIPOC, intersectional communities as I am fully aware of the impact systemic oppression on individuals. I am in full support of equity and social justice for those that have been harmed by our society. I am also a strong believer in a holistic/eastern slant approach to therapy and my work is all about decolonizing mental health for my clients. I honor spirituality in the biopsychosocial component to those I give counseling too.
