Dr. Nicky Underwood, DSW, MSW, LCSW-S
Certified First Responder Counselor
Founder/CEO
Hello,
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified First Responder Counselor, Texas-based provider, and a New York City native with many years of experience working in various settings, including university clinics, community mental health, hospitals, private practice, and telehealth platforms.
I have training in anxiety disorders, depression, and traumas. I enjoy helping people manage high stress or going through difficult life transitions. I use a strength-based approach to therapy because I find it very rewarding to help clients identify and recognize how they are resilient and adopt healthy strategies to improve their lives.
My approach to therapy depends on the client. I mainly practice eclectic therapy. From the first session, you will learn practical coping mechanisms to manage your issue. I do not ascribe to the doctor knows best philosophy or the independent choice model of giving all decision-making authority to the client. I prefer to practice from the shared decision-making model where you and I will collaborate on the best treatment for your issues. My attribute styles are warm, affirming, and empowering. I am looking forward to working with you.
