Nikki Alonso-Scott, LPC-MHSP

“I am who I am connected to. I am because we are.” In Tagalog, this is what is called kapwa, and within the Filipino culture, it means that inclusiveness is the moral obligation to treat one another equally. I approach therapy with all my clients with the understanding that we are all deeply interconnected with the people we love and surround ourselves with.

I believe the path we walk often has been carved for us through culture and generations of trauma that have been passed down to us. I also believe that we can break patterns and create new paths for ourselves and those who follow after. When we can find the roots to who we are we find new levels of vulnerability and authenticity. We can take on what is ours, and let go of what is not. Let’s walk that together. Methods I use are Imago Therapy, Brainspotting, Narrative Therapy, and Relational Cultural Therapy.

I am this year’s Neal Casal Clinical Fellowship recipient through Backline, a nonprofit that supports touring musicians and folks in the music industry. I have previously served on the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention board and council for over seven years and currently serve as Board President for Pillar-Peer. I have twelve years of experience in integrative medicine and a bachelor's degree in Fine Arts/Graphic Design. My background is diverse, and that has allowed me to view my clients through various lenses and meet them where healing feels safest. 

In my free time I enjoy hiking, yoga, paddleboarding, traveling, and time with my dogs and family.
