About
At the intersection of neuroscience and psychotherapy lies the innovative practice of Niina Kuukka, LMFT, LPCC. With a firm belief that lasting change must occur within a person's brain, mind, and soul, Niina offers a unique blend of traditional therapy and cutting-edge neurofeedback techniques to help her clients overcome life's challenges and achieve lasting transformation.
Specializing in trauma, depression, and anxiety, Niina draws from a diverse toolkit of therapeutic approaches. She skillfully incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness practices, meditation techniques, and inner child healing to create individualized treatment plans tailored to each client's specific needs. This integrative approach allows her to address the multifaceted nature of mental health concerns, providing comprehensive care that goes beyond surface-level symptom management.
Niina's expertise extends beyond traditional talk therapy. As a trained neurofeedback specialist, she offers this non-invasive technique to help clients retrain their brains for improved regulation and functioning. By targeting brain wave patterns associated with various mental health conditions, including Autism, ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, and depression, Niina helps her clients harness their brain's neuroplasticity to achieve symptom reduction and enhanced overall well-being.
With over a decade of experience working with neurodiverse populations, Niina has developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by children, teens, and adults with developmental delays, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorders. This extensive background allows her to provide nuanced, compassionate care to individuals across the neurodiversity spectrum.
Niina Kuukka is passionate about helping her clients integrate negative experiences into their life stories, reducing their impact and fostering personal growth. She believes that by addressing multiple layers of a person's experience – brain, mind, and body – true healing and lasting change can occur. Whether you're struggling with past trauma, current life stressors, or seeking to optimize your mental health, Niina offers a safe, supportive environment to explore, heal, and grow. Her practice, based in the Bay Area, California, welcomes adults and teens for both in-person sessions in San Jose and video appointments throughout the state.
