Nikki Schwisow, MSW, LCSW

I understand what it’s like to say 'yes' when your soul is screaming 'no.' To live in constant turmoil, caught in the webs of other people’s expectations. Many of my clients share the pain of not recognizing their own lives; of appearing in control on the outside while feeling lost inside. Over time, I noticed how often therapy stopped at insight instead of true transformation. That’s why my work focuses on helping adults heal from trauma, anxiety, and people-pleasing patterns through EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness-based therapy. I offer direct, compassionate guidance and practical tools so you can stop living for everyone else and start living for yourself. Therapy can help you reclaim your voice and create a life that finally feels like yours. My practice is virtual only, so you can show up from the comfort of your own space: no commute, no waiting rooms, just real connection wherever you are. I serve clients in Utah, Virginia, Ohio, Nebraska, Texas, Washington, and New York. Clients describe me as real, warm, and straightforward. I believe therapy can be hard work, but it doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time! I enjoy a good laugh with clients, and I think humor can be healing too. Together, we’ll uncover what’s keeping you stuck, strengthen your boundaries, and help you build confidence in who you are. If you’re ready to feel calm, clear, and grounded in your life again, I’d be honored to guide you there.
