About Me

I'm Nikki Hollinson and I am a therapist in Vancouver BC with a Master degree in Counselling Psychology (MCP) from Adler University. I am a member of the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (RCC #19707). 

For potential clients, I believe in transparency and choice and recognize that for some folks it is helpful to know who you are sitting with. So here is a little more information about me:

I identify as a cis woman (she/her) and heterosexual.
I grew up with the privilege of being a middle-class white settler.
I was born and raised in Richmond, on Musqueam Coast Salish territory.
My family heritage is Scottish, British, Austrian, and Norwegian.

I have attended therapy regularly for many years; therefore, I also have lived experience as a client and a person who is in-flux, stepping forward and backward, learning, and healing.
I have lived experience with anxiety, panic, dissociation/suppressing emotions, low self-esteem, family history of tragic loss, and a family history of alcohol use for coping.

I am an introvert who loves connecting with people and feels pretty comfortable around strangers but will need time to recharge afterwards, will gravitate towards deep and meaningful conversations, is content in my own company, and enjoys slow-paced and solo hobbies. I have been learning a lot about accepting and embracing this side of myself in the past few years.

As many introverts are, I am drawn to extroverted friends and partnership, and therefore have experience navigating those differences in close connections.
