Testimonials:

“Nigeria has a true passion for the work that she does as a therapist. She allowed me to be “a mess” and she ultimately helped me realize that I am strong, I am brave and I am worthy!” ~S. Roberts

“Therapy was a scary experience for me. Being honest about my feelings and acknowledging my negative thoughts was something I had never done before. Nigeria made me feel safe, she was patient and she was kind. What started as a truly scary and experience ended up being the best decision I ever made for myself.” ~J. Valdez

“Therapy has become a part of my lifestyle as a result of the personal work I did with Ms. McHellon.” ~T. Vincent

“My child looks forward to her session every week. I can tell that the sessions are a bright spot in her life. It takes her a while to feel comfortable about talking to people, especially adults, and she seemed to find that comfort level pretty quickly. We are excited to see our daughter continue to make progress. Ms. Nigeria has also been great about working with our schedule.” ~K. Comacho

“Therapy has been a concept I postponed for a long time; dreading to not only address my personal issues but choose an individual that I would have to ultimately trust, respect, and feel comfortable unpacking several years of introspective challenges. Nigeria not only encompassed all those things, but characteristically has a level of attentiveness and astuteness that’s not inherit in all therapist. Within our first session, Nigeria created a space that encouraged dialogue, honesty, and deep reflection. My session with Nigeria never ended at the conclusion of our dedicated time, because she enables me to dig deeper and connect behavioral patterns that have been instilled for decades. These moments empower me to take what I’ve learned/uncovered in our sessions, internalize and apply it; then come back to our session to help me take a second step towards assuaging my fears and becoming a better person. To call Nigeria McHellon a highly recommended therapist would be an understatement.” ~ S.
