Nikki Wilson

Registered Psychotherapist

Welcome, & thank you for taking the time to learn more about me! No matter what brings you here, I hope to offer you a warm & welcoming space where you can explore, process, & move through the many parts of your world - your thoughts, feelings, & experiences - with a spirit of curiosity & acceptance.

I work with adults (18+) one-on-one in a virtual setting, using an integrative approach to talk therapy that has a collaborative & conversational vibe. (And yes, that includes having a sense of humour!)

As an intersectional & trans-inclusive feminist, I'm committed to anti-racist & anti-carceral practices. I believe that you are the expert when it comes to your own life.

As a fellow traveller & compassionate witness to this season of your life, my goal is to hold space for you; a therapeutic space where you can feel seen & heard, as well as empowered to be your authentic self.

While I have a talent for connecting with people who share similar identities & communities with me, I also enjoy working with folks across differences. Some of the identities that I claim, & which shape my perspective include: queer, cis-woman, neurodivergent, disabled, white settler, survivor, advocate, nerd, gamer, witch.

When I'm not wearing my "therapist" hat, I like to: read books, spend time in nature, swim, sing, hang out with my cat, (re)watch TV shows & play video games, board games, & TTRPGs. Sometimes I will enjoy an in-person adventure by travelling to different parts of the world. As a multi-passionate person my interests & hobbies change often!

I am grateful to be living & learning on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, the Anishnaabeg, the Attiwandaron, & the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation (Southern Ontario). These lands are covered by the Upper Canada Treaties, & protected by the "Dish With One Spoon" wampum agreement.

Q & A with Nikki

What made you decide to choose your role as a therapist?

“ As a therapist I get to build a connection with people on a deeper level and share their inner world. Life isn’t easy, and the challenges that come our way can leave us feeling isolated and overwhelmed. I want to help people live their best lives and know that they are not alone.”

What do you think are the biggest misconceptions about mental health?

“ The biggest misconception I’ve encountered is that struggling with your mental health means that there is something “wrong” with you or that something needs to be “fixed”. While I am an advocate for self-improvement, I believe that the world is an unhealthy place, and much of our struggle comes from having to exist within a broken system.”

What do you like most about what you do?

" I am always learning from the people I meet.”

What do you value most in a client?

“The courage to seek help and share your vulnerability with another person.”

What would you like a client to say about working with you?

“ That they felt seen and heard. ” 

What are your biggest professional challenges?

“ I believe that therapy should be accessible to all who want it. Unfortunately, the commodification of mental health has made it very challenging for people to find appropriate and affordable counselling services. ”
