Nikhita Gowra is a third-year graduate student at Johns Hopkins University, pursuing her Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She works under the supervision of licensed counselor, Evan Steinhorst, LCPC, at Complete Wellness.

With a background in journalism, Nikhita has long been passionate about creative expression and advocacy around mental health and social justice - values that continue to guide her work as a Counselor.

In her counseling practice, Nikhita strives to help clients meet their potential and create lives that feel rich and meaningful. She invites clients to bring along their challenges—the ones that tend to hitchhike no matter where we go—and to learn new ways of relating to them, so they no longer steer the journey.

Grounded in a trauma-informed, gender-affirmative, and multiculturally curious lens, Nikhita honors the unique lived experiences each client brings into the therapy room. She is mindful of how her own experiences with trauma, ADHD, and depression shape her empathy and insight.

Nikhita primarily draws from evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Narrative Therapy. She believes deeply in her clients’ ability to re-author their stories and to define themselves beyond diagnosis or circumstance.

Guided by the well-being potential rooted in creative practice , Nikhita integrates expressive arts, such as creative writing and poetry, into her work with clients who wish to explore their inner worlds through these mediums.

Nikhita sees her role as that of a supporting character in a film where the client is the protagonist- there to listen, reflect, and accompany them as they move toward a life that feels authentic, whole, and alive in all its shades and hues.
