Dr. Niekema Hudson

Hello and welcome! I’m Dr. Niekema Hudson, a licensed school psychologist, dedicated to ensuring you receive the support your child needs in the most accessible, transparent, and ethical manner. My mission is to foster the mental, physical, and emotional well-being of students while breaking down barriers to access and eliminating the stigma surrounding special education and mental health. In my approach as a licensed school psychologist, I focus not only on challenges but also on the strengths of your child. By employing a strength-based approach, I aim to provide top-notch support that highlights and nurtures your child's unique abilities. My commitment is to create an environment where your child feels empowered and understood.

As a licensed and certified school psychologist, I have dedicated 18+ years to working within the educational system, providing educational testing, counseling, and crisis response. I bring a unique perspective shaped by years of service in schools. My deep understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of psychological services in our education system allows me to offer unparalleled care in my practice and approach.

I am a strong empathic listener, dedicated to creating a comfortable, inclusive, and welcoming testing and therapeutic environment. My goal is to provide a testing and or therapeutic experience filled with expertise, honesty, support, and comfort, ensuring that everyone who walks through the doors feels valued and empowered on their journey toward mental wellness. I aim to provide a safe space where individuals can discuss their challenges & develop the necessary skills to thrive. I have experience working with students of all ages and am passionate about making a positive impact on lives. If you're struggling with any challenges, I'd love to connect with you.

It is my goal to further pursue becoming a Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern (RMHCI) towards becoming a Licenced Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I am excited to be a part of the ABC Counseling community where I can further my experience in the mental health field and in turn support individuals in their journey towards well-being.
