Daniya Nixon

Daniya Nixon, a compassionate counselor holding an MA and LGPC, understands that existing and thriving amidst uncertainty and oppressive social systems can often feel daunting, particularly for individuals holding marginalized identities. She recognizes that it is frequently the circumstances, environments, and relationships that contribute to feelings of distress. In the face of life's demands and stressors, feelings of depression, anxiety, sadness, frustration, and anger can arise. Daniya believes that rather than labeling individuals as 'weak' or 'not good enough,' it may simply be a matter of lacking the necessary tools, perspectives, or resources to cope effectively.

Daniya focuses on the intricate ways mental, physical, spiritual, and social aspects intersect and influence client experiences. Her approach incorporates various theoretical orientations and techniques, ultimately aiming to create a validating and safe space where clients feel empowered and capable of instigating positive changes in their lives. In her view, therapy is a collaborative process, with clients being the experts in their own experiences. Daniya sees it as her privilege to engage in this empowering journey alongside her clients, helping them to gain understanding and clarity about their experiences.
