NEIKEISHA MCCONE

Nikeisha McCone is joining Healing Trauma Center with a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Massachusetts Boston. Her passion for psychology began with her first introduction to the subject in high school and has only deepened through her years of professional and academic experience.

She brings a warm, nurturing approach that allows children to feel safe and supported. She incorporates play and theater therapy techniques to help children express themselves in creative and developmentally appropriate ways. She believes play is the natural language of children and a child's ability for self-expression is the opposite of dysregulation.

Her clinical focus includes trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity and relational work. She takes a client-centered approach, incorporating motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and logotherapy to help clients access and identify their inner strengths and move toward creating a purposeful life. Nikeisha is motivated to consistently improve her skills through certification courses and staying up to date on research. While her primary focus is working with children, she also holds space for adult clients seeking support.

Outside of work, she is a creative spirit who enjoys crafting, gardening, hiking, swimming, and rollerblading. Her love of plants, foraging, and plant identification inspires her long-term goal of incorporating horticultural therapy into her clinical practice.
