Meet Nika Gannon

Hi, I'm Nika

(she / her)

I am an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist specializing in the treatment of “Sex/Porn Addiction” (also known as Problematic or Out-of-Control Sexual Behavior) and Attachment-Focused Therapy. I support individuals and couples navigating erotic conflict and working to define their sexual ethic.

My work is grounded in the Sexual Health Principles and informed by the Out-of-Control Sexual Behavior (OCSB) Model. I integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems Theory, and psychodynamic insight to foster meaningful and lasting change.

As a sex-positive, pleasure-affirming therapist, I offer a non-shaming, strength-based, attachment-focused space where you can explore your sexuality with honesty and authenticity.

I guide clients in exploring their experiences, developing greater self-awareness, and making choices that align with their personal values. I help clients honor their agreements, fostering trust and integrity in their relationships.

I view my clients and their concerns through an ethical, holistic lens, holding their integrity and worth in the highest regard.

Below you can find more information about the two aspects of my clinical focus:

I am Kink, Poly and LGBTQIA+ friendly.
I am trilingual and have the ability to provide therapy in English, Russian and Ukrainian.

Fun Facts: I was born and raised in Ukraine. One of my favorite places to relax and recharge at is a metal concert.

Kim brings a listening ear and so much wisdom as she counsels. You can dump your stuff and she’s not phased by it. She’s a great partner in the healing process. We could all use another counseling session with Kim!

Supervision and Consultation

I am an approved supervisor for Washington state under LICSW licensure. My approach to supervision is rooted in developmental and relational principles.

To me supervision is a mutual process, where power and responsibility are shared between the supervisor and supervisees. I strive to create a space where clinicians feel safe and supported to grow, where they feel held and seen in their humanity as well as their professionalism.

  • I provide supervision to clinical interns at the Healing Moments Counseling
  • I provide supervision to associate level clinicians (SWs, MFTs, MHCs) – openings in November 2022
  • I provide consultation to fully licensed clinicians
