Meet Nikolai, lmhc
It’s time to invest in yourself.
I don’t pussy-foot around. If you’re here, you’re ready for real talk.
Unlike traditional therapy that moves too slowly or business coaching that ignores mental health, I deliver intensive breakthrough sessions designed for high-achievers like you.
You’re already successful as hell. Let’s make sure you don’t hate your life in the process.
My approach:
Calm Hustle Mastery
Traditional therapy wants you to sit on a couch for years rehashing your childhood. Coaching wants you to set goals and hustle harder.
Both miss the point—you’re not a problem to fix or a productivity robot. You’re a whole damn person, and you deserve an approach that actually treats you like one.
That’s why I combine the best of both worlds. This isn’t about “how does that make you feel?” on repeat. It’s about real change you can measure in weeks, not years. You’ll leave every session with some trauma processed, strategies mapped, and action plans you can implement immediately.
Because life’s too f*cking short for half-measures.
How I work
Central to my approach is the belief that your intensity isn’t the problem—it’s the tool.
When you learn how to channel it, you stop burning out and start building the life you actually want.
Work with me and expect results in weeks, not years. No circling the same stories on repeat. Every session is designed to move you forward with clarity and momentum.
Therapy with me is…
01 direct
No fluff, no jargon, no endless “how does that make you feel?”
02 Strategic
You’ll leave each session with a roadmap, not just reflections.
03 transformative
Trauma gets processed, not just talked about.
04 Individualized
Your neurodivergence, drive, and quirks aren’t “issues”—they’re strengths we’ll maximize.

I’m not here to sand down your edges or turn you into some Instagram-friendly version of “balanced.” I’m here to help you flip the very traits you’ve been told are weaknesses—your ADHD brain, your relentless drive, your hypersensitivity—into advantages that make you unstoppable.
You don’t need to be less intense. You need to be intense in the right damn ways.
The real win isn’t just climbing higher—it’s getting to the top without hating your life when you look around.
