About me
Guided by Experience, Grounded by Care
I’m Nikki Hughs, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and founder of Hughs Healing Counseling, PLLC. My work is grounded in evidence-based care, but always led by empathy, autonomy, and emotional safety. Are you seeking someone that "gets you?" I am that person, I understand the stigma of therapy, the voices our inner self tells us, and the big steps it takes to make an appointment but you don’t have to walk the path alone.
Nikki is a trauma‑informed Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who walks alongside individuals as they reconnect with the parts of themselves that trauma, burnout, or moral injury have quieted. Her work honors the whole person, mind, body, soul, story, and nervous system. Nikki creates a steady, compassionate space to breathe, soften, and rediscover a sense of inner steadiness.
Through an integrative, holistic approach, incorporating body and mind therapeutic practices. She brings warmth, honesty, authenticity, genuineness and deep respect into every session. Nikki believes that healing grows where people feel seen, safe, free of judgment, supported, valued and deeply understood.
Nikki especially drawn to supporting those in high‑stake, high‑stress roles professionals, assisting in connection with inner self by realigning goals, reinforcing values, and ultimately embracing new visions to create the life you were meant to live. Her passion is first responders, healthcare workers, other mental health or social workers, tech positions, attorneys and entrepreneurs. Reach out today, let’s begin this journey together.
