Nakia Brim, LAC

Nakia is a Licensed Associate Counselor who believes that therapy is a collaborative bridge to independence. Her goal isn't just for you to feel better in session, but to equip you with the tangible skills needed to navigate your everyday life with confidence. By providing a space of empathy and accountability, Nakia helps her clients move from the shadows of the past into a life of self-governed freedom.  Nakia focuses on how the body and nervous system hold onto experiences. While she uses a variety of tools, her primary tool is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). She believes that true healing happens when we address the roots of our struggles rather than just talking through the logic of them.

Nakia specializes in helping clients untangle childhood and interpersonal-relational trauma and navigating the anxieties that stem from people-pleasing and a lack of boundaries.  If you are ready to heal from your past and start building a life defined by your own values and identity, Nakia is here to help.
