Hi, I’m Niko, a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) with two years of experience providing compassionate, trauma-informed care to children, teens, adults, couples, and families. I take a client-centered approach to therapy, honoring each person's story and working collaboratively to support healing, emotional regulation, and growth. Whether you're navigating anxiety, parenting challenges, or seeking better coping skills, my goal is to create a safe, affirming space where you feel seen and supported.

I integrate a variety of evidence-based approaches—like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy—tailored to your needs. I also deeply value inclusive care and proudly work with clients from LGBTQIA+ communities, diverse relationship structures, and those seeking sex-positive, body-positive, or kink-affirming support.

When I’m not in session, you’ll find me on my small farm tending to my organic garden, caring for my two cows and mini donkey, Oakly, making art, and soaking in the peace of nature.

Hi, my name is Elizabeth! I have the privilege working with Kinder Mind while pursuing my degree in Social Work.

I have over 10 years of experience working with children and adolescents. While working with these age groups, I have experience with those who are diagnosed with autism and ADHD as well as those who have dealt with anxiety and depression. My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness-based techniques and I am committed to creating a supportive environment for each client.

When I am not studying or working, I enjoy reading a new book or finding something new to bake or cook!

Hi, my name is Caroline and I am in my second year of my Social Work Master's program at the University of Kentucky. I have experience working with children in a school setting as well as children and adults at a Child Advocacy Center. I enjoy working with all age groups, but I particularly enjoy working with adolescents. I am passionate about working with clients who deal with anxiety, depression, and OCD. I also enjoy working with clients who are neurodivergent and clients who struggle with trauma. In my spare time, you can find me at a baseball game or finding a new camping spot.
