Nina Kukoly, MSW, LCSW

Co-Founder

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New Jersey who brings a unique perspective to my work. Whether I'm working with a child, a parent, or a college student, my goal is to create a safe, supportive, and compassionate space where clients feel comfortable openly exploring their thoughts and feelings. Establishing a strong therapeutic alliance is one of my highest priorities, beginning with our very first session.

I truly believe that therapy should feel authentic and collaborative, so I don't shy away from bringing my genuine personality into the room and using humor when it is appropriate. After all, I'm human too, and I find that humor can be a powerful part of the healing process.

My therapeutic approach is tailored to each client's individualized needs and draws from person-centered, solution-focused, trauma-focused, mindfulness-based, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), play, and art therapy techniques. I provide telehealth services exclusively to clients throughout New Jersey, making it easier to access quality care from the comfort and convenience of your own space.
