Nikoletta is a second‐year master’s student in Clinical Social Work at Liberty University. She’s grateful to be returning to Positive Directions for her second internship, where she continues to grow alongside a supportive and inspiring team of clinicians. Before entering the clinical field, she worked as an art instructor in NYC, encouraging students to express themselves and build confidence through creativity.
Nikoletta has experience working with individuals, families, and the broader community. She leads with empathy and collaboration, using trauma‐informed care and a blend of therapeutic modalities to meet clients where they are. Her work centers on empowerment, helping clients deepen self‐understanding, strengthen emotional well‐being, and move toward meaningful growth, healing, and self‐discovery.
Outside of work, Nikoletta enjoys spending her time in ways that help her stay balanced and connected. She loves getting lost in a good book, discovering new music, and taking long walks that allow her to slow down and reflect. Whenever she can, she heads outdoors to hike and explore nature. Most of all, she cherishes time with her family, who keep her grounded and bring joy into her everyday life.
