About me
You have arrived at Regain which means you are searching for a way to address some issues you have already identified are there. You have taken the first step and you should feel proud of yourself for being here! Connecting to the right counselor can be an overwhelming task. I'd like to explain more about myself to help you in that decision.
I have been in the field of social work for over 20 years and I hold a license as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work from a strengths-based, solutions-focused, client-centered approach. Meaning that I firmly believe in the capacity for individuals to solve their own problems - they just may need a little push and direction in seeing the goals and how to obtain them. I have worked within all areas of social work practice to include public, private, and non-profit. My specialty areas of practice are abuse and neglect, anxiety/depression, work/life balance, mood disorders, co-dependency issues, and issues related to military, veterans, and dependents. The feedback I receive from clients are that they find me caring and upfront, the communication is more of a collaboration, and I assist well with identifying issues and helping to identify possible ways to navigate the situations, learn about yourself, and interact with the world.
My work hours are typically Monday-Thursday between 5a-330p EST. I do not typically work on the weekends; however, I do typically check messages at least once.
I know how difficult it is to find a counselor you can connect with and feel secure in talking about your concerns, but I'd be honored to offer that support as you work through your journey.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Nakia (Nicki) Fleming. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
I sincerely believe your approach is healthy and productive it is an honor to meet you. I appreciate your human first approach. Really made me feel comfortable to express my thoughts and feelings. Look forward to future sessions and eventually not needing them at all !
Dr. Fleming knows her stuff. Although sometimes blunt, she gets the point across and doesn’t waste any time which I really appreciate. She’s consistent, has a wealth of knowledge, and really does get the job done. Thank you so much for investing into this relationship, I’ve learnt so much about myself in such a short period of time!
Very knowledgable, insightive and relatable. Has helped our relationship tremendously. Can't recommend her enough! Best decision we made as a couple was reaching out for a therapist and having the luck to land upon Nicki. Thank you for your help Nicki!
Very impressed. Very surprised how efficient with the little time, or so it seemed, I felt it was informative and enlightening. Can’t wait for our second class!
She is a great therapist.
Nicki is consistent, direct and charming. My experience of her is that she is relatable, powerful and resourceful. I believe that she sees us as individuals and as a couple. Working with her has been supportive to us and we have witness improvements in our relationship. She is a result driven therapist and we really are happy to have her in this healing journey. Her expertise manifests in our sessions, in our assignments and even in the extra links she shares with us all with the goal to support us.
Dr. Fleming has been very good at helping us define what issues we should concentrate on and steps to begin addressing them.
Friendly and responsive. Still learning.
You rock, thank you
