Who You Are


I work with young adults and women navigating anxiety, burnout, and life transitions—helping you understand what’s underneath the stress while building practical tools that support you so you can make the most of your one wild and precious life.

  • Major life transitions can shift everything—your routines, your relationships, and even your sense of self. Whether you’re navigating pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, or the day-to-day realities of parenting, it can feel both meaningful and overwhelming at the same time.

    Many women find themselves holding everything together on the outside while feeling depleted, anxious, or disconnected internally. Therapy creates space to process these experiences honestly, without pressure or judgment, so you can feel more grounded and supported in this stage of life.

  • Balancing expectations about the future with the reality of today can feel overwhelming. Whether you're navigating school, career decisions, relationships, or identity, it’s easy to feel stuck, anxious, or unsure of your next step.

    You may feel pressure to have it all figured out while quietly struggling to keep up. Therapy offers a space to slow things down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and build tools to move forward in a way that feels right for you.

Therapy With Niku

I’m Niku Rice, a Licensed Master Social Worker with experience supporting adults through anxiety, burnout, and life transitions. My approach is conversational, thoughtful, and grounded in mindfulness, drawing from modalities such as CBT and ACT to help you better understand your thoughts, patterns, and reactions.

Clients describe me as calm, warm, and practical. I gently challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck, while offering perspective and tools you can actually use in your day-to-day life.

Our work will be collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in real life. Sessions are conversational and paced in a way that feels manageable, giving you space to explore what’s going on without pressure or judgment.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of what’s next, therapy can be a space to slow down, get clarity, and move forward.

I offer both in-person and virtual sessions in Michigan, providing flexibility based on what works best for you.

You don’t have to do this alone. If you’re ready for support, or even just curious about what this could look like, this is a place to start.

First sessions are low pressure and conversational. We will focus on understanding what’s going on and identifying where to start.
