Nikki Vida

Nikki is a compassionate and skilled clinician with a wealth of experience supporting individuals navigating various mental health challenges. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BCACC, she is dedicated to providing evidence-based, holistic care to her clients.

With a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental approach, Nikki creates a safe space where you can freely explore your inner experiences, work toward personal goals, and enhance your well-being. She can provide guidance in times of distress, help you identify patterns that might be holding you back, develop effective coping strategies, and empower you to make meaningful changes.

Nikki takes an integrative, relational, trauma-informed approach to therapy, drawing from client centered, cognitive behavioural (CBT), dialectical behavioural (DBT), acceptance and commitment (ACT), internal family systems (IFS), psychodynamic, polyvagal, and attachment-based frameworks. This adaptability allows her to tailor sessions to your unique needs and goals.

Therapy with Nikki is about exploring the connections between your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, relationships, and the different parts of yourself. Together, you'll identify patterns, understand how past experiences shape the present, strengthen emotional regulation, and build more secure, compassionate relationships with yourself and others through a holistic, biopsychosocial lens. Her style is gentle, validating, collaborative, and neuro-affirming. She also supports growth through curiosity, honest reflection, compassionate challenge, and gentle feedback.

Nikki works with youth (16+) and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, interpersonal challenges, identity concerns, self-esteem, stress and burnout, life transitions, neurodivergence, grief and loss, and chronic pain/illness. Her primary areas of focus are in supporting borderline personality disorder (BPD), anxiety and mood disorders, chronic pain and illness, and complex trauma (cPTSD).
