Accepting Clients

Hello! My name is Nikki Hughs and I am a licensed mental health therapist who has over 15 years of experience.

Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Seattle, WA

About My Clients

Have you been struggling with a life feeling hopeless, scared, fearful, struggles with sleeping, triggered by traumatic events, and feeling confused? That must be so exhausting and confusing, I can help you this. I specialize in working with first responders, high stress, neuroaffirming clients, men's issues, antisocial personality disorders, healthcare professionals, and therapists. I use a variety of integrative, holistic approaches to help you take your life back.

My Background and Approach

I have over 15 years working as a mental health counselor in a variety of settings. I am a licensed mental health therapist and a certified trauma therapist. My approaches include, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotional Focused Therapy for couples, Somatic Therapy, Attachment, Internal Family Systems, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe in a holistic and integrative approach when working with others. I have attended trainings that teach me leading edge techniques. I will help you find your way back to living the life you deserve. You will gain tools and skills as well as understanding your current strengths that you have, gaining knowledge of how your brain and body are working, ultimately gaining the confidence and ability to live a balanced and happier life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in growth and change at any time in your life. Humans have the ability at any time in their lives to embrace change with the right tools and methods. There is no limit to this journey. Much of our mental health struggles are learned behaviors and experiences from a young age. As we get older, we can unpack the unhealthy behaviors/habits we have gained and learn more useful ways to navigate your life through your eyes; thus taking control over your own health, beliefs and emotions. Life is a dance, we learn how to sway with the emotions and avoid getting stuck during the process. One saying I say to my clients regularly, “trust the process.” I pride myself on being inclusive, affirming, empathetic, passionate, caring, and respectful. I am a gender affirming therapist who has spent a few years working with LGBTQI2+ community, and BIPOC community. I take part in advocacy, marches and protests to support the communities.
