Therapy that’s honest, steady, and trauma competent.
who i am
I’m Nikki Hensler Gordon, a licensed trauma therapist, EMDR consultant, and first responder spouse. I specialize in helping people rebuild nervous system safety, self-trust, and clarity after trauma, betrayal, or chronic overwhelm.
I don’t believe in performative healing or one-size-fits-all therapy. I believe in telling the truth, listening to the body, and honoring your lived experience without shame or diagnosis-based gatekeeping.
Clinical Specialties
- Complex trauma & nervous system dysregulation
- Betrayal trauma, moral injury, and medical gaslighting
- EMDR and parts work (no trauma timelines required)

What to Expect
Therapy with me is direct, relational, and deeply respectful.
I’m not going to sit in silence while you flounder—but I’m also not going to rush your process.
We’ll move at a pace that works for your system.
We’ll explore what safety actually feels like in your body.
And we’ll work toward regulation, not perfection.
Scheduling & Boundaries
- First four sessions are scheduled one at a time
- 24-hour cancellation required (silent cancellations may end the therapeutic relationship)
