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.

For the past six years, Nikeisha worked within the New Bedford Public School system, supporting children with social-emotional challenges. 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.

Nikeisha completed her clinical internship at Plymouth County Correctional Facility, where she provided therapeutic support to male inmates and ICE detainees. This experience further shaped her trauma-informed lens and strengthened her commitment to underserved communities.

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.

I have been fortunate to work as an Administrative Assistant for many years. To work in a supportive role as part of a team brings me a solid sense of accomplishment. I love working in this capacity enhancing the success of my coworkers or company.

I am a woman of God and a mother and a grandparent. I was a single parent and have personal understanding of that journey. As well as all the struggles and joys it holds. It has been an honor to watch my children and grandchildren grow into the beautiful individuals that they are. It’s amazing to witness the fruits of your labor. Spending time with family brings incredible joy to me.

My hobbies include making lotions, soaps and lip balms. My love language is cooking and baking for family and friends. I love the beach and camping, being in nature feeds my spirit.

Erika

As an intern therapist, I offer a compassionate, affirming, and trauma informed space for individuals seeking support in navigating life's challenges, processing trauma, and deepening self understanding. I am passionate about working with adults, am LGBTQ+ & neurodivergent friendly, and I approach therapy through a person centered lens that honors each person's unique lived experiences.

 My work is deeply grounded in the belief that the therapeutic relationship itself is a powerful tool for healing. I aim to build a collaborative, trusting connection where clients feel empowered to show up authentically. Together, we explore the roots of current struggles, develop insight, and move toward meaningful change.

I will be training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidenced based method for processing trauma and reducing distress related to painful memories, negative beliefs, and emotional blocks.

EMDR can be especially helpful for clients navigating complex trauma, PTSD, grief & loss, and negative core beliefs. In addition, to EMDR techniques, I integrate relational, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-based approaches. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, attachment wounds and relationship challenges.

Above all, I hold deep respect for each clients resilience and autonomy. Therapy isn't about "what's wrong with you" - it's about actually, "what happened to you". My role is to walk alongside you, offer insight and create a space where healing and growth can happen. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife, our 4 dogs & 1 cat-dog, camping kayaking, hiking, floating down a river, and I am a Mountain View enthusiast
