Nikki Malazarte

build a mutually safe, respectful and trusting therapeutic relationship, I strive to collaboratively create a supportive, empowering and culturally humble space with you. Here, you can freely express all your emotions, experiences and even laugh at the mundane, knowing that I am with you through both bumpy and smooth rides.

someone who genuinely believes that one is the captain of one's own ship and I’m here to guide one when a windy storm is ahead. Together, we nurture tools and resources to help one reconstruct a healthier connection with oneself and others, so one can continue sailing smoothly through one's life changes.

I take time to share more about my therapeutic approach and the interventions I use, while exploring what brings you into the therapeutic space and what you hope to gain from our work together. We’ll also review administrative policies together to clarify expectations, answer questions, and ensure we have a shared understanding of our work together.

I became a therapist to foster self-growth, guide those navigating their experiences, and identities with a sprinkle of humor and compassion. I also became a therapist to walk alongside those not only reclaiming their power within but also rewriting their narratives, where resilience transforms hard times to personal triumph.

I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, grief, depression, cultural identity, family dynamics, displacement, gender identity, intergenerational trauma, spirituality, life transitions, and breast cancer. My trauma-informed, intersectional approach centers AAPI, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, immigrant, and refugee communities.
