Not currently accepting patients

Hi there, I'm Prem!

Hello My name is Prem Nikoniuk. I have been serving my fellow travelers in life for the past 22 years and it never tires me. I discover a little bit of me in literally every single interaction I have with someone new. I am licensed in AK and IL and I've lived in both states enjoying their many gifts. I am human-based and believe deeply in the human experience- as in doing life versus being in life. I work endlessly with people of all ages, backgrounds, race/ethnicty/culture/identity and as such have been privy to so very many of their experiences along the way!

My approach

Client-centered, humanistic, Rdaical Acceptance(CBT), Mindfulness, and emotion focused therapy

My focus

Clients seeking or rather feeling lost in their life's purpose (s), meaning, and direction.

My communication style

I'm a friend and confidant who can listen more than she speaks. I'm good at clarifying with a client what they think they know but do not yet. I'm a passionate communicator who means what she says and says what she means.

My journey to mental healthcare

A warm inviting embracing smile and a spark- that feels as if we have known each other for so so long.

My goals for you

Because knowledge is wisdom and wisdom is to be shared. In 22 years my knowledge base is endless. We are all here to walk each other home(hand in hand); by the end of the day, Frankly, this work I do cannot be fully achieved in one lifetime.

My first session with you

I go where the clients are- in the here and now, A client's slow maybe but steady discovery of self is priceless. Clients already know what they want- I just simply help them discover their inner voices again.
