Neeka Wittern - MFT Student Therapist
Neeka Wittern is a graduate student at the University of Nevada - Las Vegas in the MS Couples and Family Therapy program. She is also currently working on becoming certified in Sex Therapy with AASECT. She is trained to work with individuals, couples, and families from various backgrounds and help guide them through any challenges, trauma, or unexpected life changes. She especially has a passion for working with sex workers, LGBTQ+, multicultural couples/families, sexual issues and trauma.
She takes an evidence-based approach that combines well researched interventions from Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy models to help clients grow and navigate life. She views clients as the expert of their own lives, and has a trauma informed approach. This provides clients with a safe and comfortable environment to express themselves freely, without any fear or judgement. Neeka personally understands the grave importance of a strong and healthy therapeutic bond between clients and therapists. She hopes to create a space where clients feel they are always cared for and deserving.
Neeka believes that clients have everything that they need to make positive changes in their lives within themselves. She focuses on finding Self-energy and establishing reachable goals with her clients. These goals are created to be maintained, even after clients have graduated from attending therapy sessions. Neeka's practice is open and affirming to all people regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, socio-economic status, religious or political beliefs, and/or alternative forms of sexual expression and lifestyle.
