Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
“Adulting” is one of the hardest things we will ever have to do! What happens when you are looking for an “adultier” adult to help you through the challenges of life and you realize that you are all you have? You might find yourself here, and you are in the right place! My name is Nakia and I am a Masters level Licensed Professional Counselor. I am based out of New Jersey and have over ten years of experience, working in a variety of settings, with people suffering from symptoms of Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Bi polar, or simply those looking to improve their life in some way. I have also facilitated groups on self care and several other areas of growth, mental health, and wellness.
My therapeutic approach is Person centered, as I feel rapport is the most important part of a successful client-therapist relationship; Motivational Interviewing, because the therapeutic relationship should be more collaborative than authoritative; and Cognitive Behavioral, because if we can confront our irrational, or problematic, thinking patterns while building healthier ones, we can improve our behaviors, which will lead to a happier life.
If you are struggling with symptoms of mental illness, feelings of low self esteem, feeling anxious, stuck in a rut, seeing common themes in your relationships, or generally dissatisfied in life, you have already made the first step to improve by being here! The second step is one “click” away!

Many people find “adulting” to be one of the most challenging parts of life. When someone looks for a more experienced guide and discovers they must rely on themselves, they often arrive in search of support and practical strategies.
Nakia Toomer is a master’s-level Licensed Professional Counselor based in New Jersey with more than ten years of experience working in a range of clinical settings. She has supported people experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and bipolar disorder, as well as those who simply want to make meaningful improvements in their lives.

Her therapeutic approach is rooted in person-centered care, which prioritizes building a strong therapeutic rapport as the foundation for change. She incorporates Motivational Interviewing to keep the process collaborative rather than authoritative, and she uses Cognitive Behavioral techniques to identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns while developing healthier alternatives – a combination aimed at improving behaviors and overall well-being.
If someone is coping with mental health symptoms, low self-esteem, persistent anxiety, feeling stuck, recurring relationship patterns, or general dissatisfaction with life, arriving here represents a meaningful first step. The next step toward support is one click away.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can really make a difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main benefits is flexibility – individuals can connect in the format that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Each participating therapist is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be better. Online therapy can be a convenient, effective way to address everyday mental health concerns while maintaining continuity of care.
