Hi, I'm Nikolai!

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Rhode Island and specialist in burnout, high-functioning anxiety, and adult-ADHD. I offer PRACTICAL mindfulness-based psychotherapy + life coaching.

I help ambitious, productivity-focused people slow down + have balance.

Many of my clients live their lives in productivity extremes — you’re either moving at 100 miles-per-hour, or you’re sitting on your couch, binge-watching Netflix, and feeling guilty about all of the things you SHOULD be doing instead 😭.

I founded my practice with a unique goal: to actually get people results, while still providing a warm + supportive environment.  My approach integrates the holistic with evidence-based, Westernized mental health practices.

To do this, I combine my training in mental health counseling, yoga, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and interpersonal communications. 

Some of those terms may sound familiar to you, while others may not.  As you get to know me, your understanding of these strategies will deepen.

What’s important for you to know up-front is that I take a truly balanced approach to my clients and work as a therapist or coach – providing professional care rooted in sound clinical judgment with flexible, client-centered direction.

There are no cookie cutter approaches here.  Instead, I focus on developing strong, collaborative relationships with clients. 

Together, we work toward incorporating techniques that work best for your own personal plan for growth.

Please explore my site to for helpful research and resources, reach out if you’re interested in working with me, or sign-up to get my free to-do list for overcoming burnout.

Thank you in advance for considering this collaboration with me! 

May you be calm, may you be compassionate, and may you always find peace.
