About Nikita Fernandes

My clinical identity lies in supporting people who are looking for culturally sensitive, poly & kink-friendly, and gender-affirming therapists. I also specialize in helping people and couples navigate relationship and dating anxiety and in helping people working through past trauma. I work to create a secure environment in which clients can discuss difficulties with their sexuality, kink, and non-monogamy. I draw on my own firsthand knowledge of navigating kink/sex-positive environments. In the past, I have had the privilege of working in higher education LGBTQ+ spaces providing resources to LGBTQ+ students. I have also worked for the Trevor Project and other therapy practices that center on communities of color.
