Victoria Nielsen

Victoria Nielsen

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hi, I’m Victoria Nielsen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. Whether you’re coming to therapy for the first time, returning after time away, or simply looking for support as you navigate the day-to-day challenges of life, I want you to feel comfortable bringing your whole self into the room.

I work with young adults and adults experiencing anxiety, big or overwhelming emotions, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, or feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. I also enjoy working with individuals who consider themselves highly sensitive or who experience emotions and the world around them deeply. Sometimes there’s a specific concern bringing you to therapy, and other times you may simply feel that something isn’t quite right or that you want to better understand yourself.

Clients have described me as warm, non-judgemental, and easy to talk to. I also believe there is room for humor and moments of lightness in therapy, even when we’re working through difficult things. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be yourself, feel comfortable being honest, and know that you’ll be met without judgment.

Aïcha Nadifi

Aïcha Nadifi

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hi, I'm Aïcha, a trauma and anxiety specialist offering somatic and attachment-based therapy for adults ready to feel safe in their own bodies again. Many of my clients come to therapy after realizing their body is still carrying the stress of survival. I don't see pathology; I see the necessary adaptations that once protected you. Healing begins when we meet those parts with compassion, not judgment. Together, we'll slow down, make sense of your patterns, and help your nervous system finally exhale.

I specialize in trauma recovery, anxiety, chronic stress, and attachment wounds. My approach combines Somatic Experiencing (body-based healing), Internal Family Systems (IFS parts work), and Attachment-Based Therapy to help you regulate your nervous system, release stored tension, and rebuild self trust and emotional safety.
