Testimonials

  • Jin has a rare ability to help clients untangle the emotional knots that keep them stuck—whether those stem from past trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, or patterns of self-doubt. Clients are consistently drawn to her authenticity, clarity, and non-judgmental style. She doesn’t just guide people through change—she empowers them to reshape how they see themselves and what they believe is possible. She is deeply committed to helping people create lives that feel aligned and meaningful, not just outwardly successful. I have great respect for her clinical skills, her integrity, and the lasting impact she has on those she serves.

    -Alicia R., LMFT & Private Practice Therapist/Owner

  • As a licensed Marriage and Family therapist, I have worked and been associated with Jin Niki for the past ten years. As a practicing clinician, I often referred clients to her to address trauma and to specifically benefit from her EMDR expertise.  Jin has had amazing success with clients who have tried other modalities of treatment, but felt they had not been able to make or sustain long-term changes. In addition to trauma therapy, Jin has a very practical way of helping clients with anxiety and approaches treatment in a very caring and non-judgmental manner.  I am proud to be considered a colleague with Jin and highly recommend her for people searching for real and long lasting results.     

    - Jacqueline E., LMFT, LCADC - Therapist at Community Mental Health Agency

  • Jin Niki is especially skilled in working with individuals dealing with anxiety and trauma. Her training in trauma-informed care, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), greatly benefited clients seeking to heal from past experiences. Her calm, grounded presence and ability to hold space for complex emotions made her a trusted and effective therapist in high-need situations. Throughout our time working together, Jin consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism, empathy, and clinical expertise. Additionally, many of the clients we shared praised her ability to listen deeply, understand their experiences, and offer thoughtful guidance.

    - Katie B., LMFT & Therapist

  • I had the pleasure of working with Jinu Niki for 3 years at a community-based setting serving both children and adults. I worked closely with her at the time as a case manager to many of her clients in both individual and group therapy. I witnessed firsthand her remarkable ability to connect authentically with clients of all ages. Jin brings warmth, honesty, and a truly empowering presence to her work. Her trauma-informed approach, combined with her compassionate and friendly demeanor, made her a trusted support for many clients navigating anxiety, depression, family trauma, and other life challenges. I highly recommend her as a skilled and dedicated licensed therapist who has expanded on her expertise as a trauma-informed EMDR therapist. Beyond her clinical expertise, Jin is also fun, personable, outgoing, and a genuinely lovely person.
