We love Nakia. She brought good energy and honesty and encourages openness.

“Connected” quickly after meeting. She “sees my trees” without being in my “forest”. Lots of good conversations on both sides.

She is very kind, great listener. When I was going through my depression/anxiety she was a great listener. She shares ideas/ methods to help cope with my depression. It feels so natural and effortless when we talk on our video calls. I feel she is very compassionate and understanding especially since we have been through similiar difficulties in life.

In my culture we’re not big on therapy. Nakia made this process super easy. I felt like I was speaking to a good friend with no judgement. I can truly open up and find my way back to my true self. I would recommended Nakia to any and everyone. Such positive spirit and great energy. My husband is even calm with the experience and he’s a tuff cookie to crack.

Thank you so much for what you’re doing for us and have done for me.

Nakia has been doing an amazing job helping me and my wife structure our life on a solid foundation of trust and reliability. Two things that we have had trouble with for several years. Nakia also has a lot of good tips for families with young children, having worked with children in the past. I highly recommend Nakia for any couple looking to move their relationship to the next step.

Nakia is helping me get back my sense of hopefulness about my life - a little bit more of the optimism and can-do excitement I remember having when I was a child. I’m thankful when I hear her laughter - strong and exuberant.
