Ginny Nikiforos
Clinical Social Worker/Therapist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst -
There is a powerful connection between emotional wellbeing and behavioral change; I strive to create a balance where both can be nurtured and understood. I believe in establishing a space where you can better understand your values, your own unique set of strengths and challenges, and recognition of your thought and behavioral patterns that align to your values. The space we work in together is free of judgment and is truly a space reserved for supporting your needs. I am responsive, timely, and look forward to supporting your journey towards understanding, growth, and healing!I am experienced in providing Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Family Therapy, Parent Training, Executive Skills Development, and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I specialize in helping manage anxiety, mood, anger, opposition, parenting, and symptoms of Autism and ADHD.I work in traditional office setting, at your home, and telehealth to best help you succeed in the most therapeutic environment for you. I also routinely work with caregivers and supports, schools, and work places at a client or parent’s request. I see clients on the north side of Chicago and several surrounding suburbs.
