Nikita Fernandes
My clinical identity lies in supporting clients looking for culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, poly & kink-friendly, and queer affirming therapists. My intersecting identities offers me the ability to connect with clients that identify as people of color, immigrants, kink positive, LGBTQ+, or clients who hold identities altogether different than or similar to my own. Curiosity and awareness are the cornerstones of what informs my work as a therapist. With me, therapy can be a transformative experience. I will invite you to get curious with me and I'll meet you where you are at. I also work to create a secure environment in which clients can discuss difficulties with their sexuality, kink, and non-monogamy. I draw on my own firsthand knowledge of navigating kink/sex-positive environments.
