Nikki Turrisi

Mental Health Counseling Intern

Nikki is under the clinical supervision of Kelly Benjamin, LMHC, and Timothy Crumley, LMHC

Nikki in her own words: “My name is Nikki, and I am a counselor-in-training in the Mental Health Counseling master’s program at the University at Albany. I approach the counseling process with care, curiosity, and respect for each person’s unique experiences. 

I believe therapy should be a supportive and collaborative space where individuals can feel safe to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. I value building trust and offering a steady, thoughtful environment that allows for reflection, insight, and personal growth at a pace that feels right for each client. 

I welcome clients of all backgrounds, ages, and life stages and value creating a space that feels safe, respectful, and supportive to everyone. I am interested in supporting people as they navigate emotional challenges, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and the impact of past experiences, including how earlier life events may continue to shape the present. 

I am attentive to the ways identity, culture, and lived experience shape a person’s perspective and well-being. I strive to meet each person with openness, empathy, and humility, honoring their strengths while learning alongside them in the therapeutic process.”
