About me
Greetings and thank you for viewing my profile. I'm Njideka (In-jah-day-ka) Wiggins, a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) located in Wilmington, Delaware
Counseling is my second career, after 26 successful years in corporate America. I have been a practicing therapist, working with children, individuals and families for the past 16 years.
I am a client centered therapist, meaning I believe each couple or family comes to this process with an unique experience and way of being in the world. As such, I have a holistic approach to counseling, pulling from many theories and modalities, but predominately focused on intergating the best of psychodymanic theory (helping my client see and understand their patterns of emotions, thoughts and behaviors) with cognitive behavioral theory (solution-focused methods) and systems theory (how one exists in the larger world) to create lasting, characterlogical change. Additonally, when working with couples and families, I employ strategies from the Imago relationship theory, the Gottman approach and various family structural/systems theories to reinforce family bonds and improve overall family functioning.
I enjoy working with clients that are seeking support to heal from unresolved trauma; mend family and other relational conflicts; manage depression, anxiety and ADHD challenges; navigate life/career cycle issues; overcome caregiver/compassion fatigue and grief. I recognize and respect the courage it takes to embark upon a journey to emotional wellness and I am humbled and honored to bear witness to your walk.
Thank you again, for allowing me the opportunity of your consideration . Should you have any questions about my therapeutic process or how we would work together to achieve your goals, please feel free to ask.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Njideka Wiggins. 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.
Highly professional and courteous. She is filed with wisdom and knowledge
We are enjoying Njideka's knowledge and expertise. She is true down to earth professional.
She is a light.
I have only had one session with Njideka and I can already tell she is the perfect match for me! I have learned more with her in one session than I have learned in all my years of therapy! I am very excited to see the growth and changes that will happen over the next few weeks.
Njideka brings world knowledge, life experiences and expert training all to the table during our sessions. The information she dispenses is quality and lasting. Highly recommend her professional services to others.
Njideka is one of the sweetest souls I’ve ever met and am so thankful to have her as my therapist.
Great personality and education to manage all concerns brought to attention. Precise acknowledgement and supply of resolution for a better individual and couple/relationship. Highly recommend!
Njideka is kind and tries really hard to play an even ground between my partner and I. Joe and I really liked her forwardness and prompt addressing of issues in the midst of talking about them so we could better understand in the moment where many issues were. She took the time to try and understand who we were as people, as a couple, and more so how she could guide both of us separately, but together. Really liked her.
Njideka Wiggins has been a fantastic therapist. She listens and is very precise.
She is wonderful and so extremely helpful and supportive!
Njideka Wiggins is an excellent counselor who listens supports and allows you to understand your behavior and make good decisions on correcting and healing your wounds.
This has been a great experience so far.
Njideka is an amazing counselor! Her approach to therapy is warm and friendly, making you feel at home with her right from the very first session. She quickly builds rapport and is encouraging as you work through issues. I highly recommend Njideka to anyone seeking change in the way they perceive and interact in the world.
Our first day with our councilor was very important. She was able to help us see that we were both hurting and that she can help us address issues we have.
She is amazing and very genuine with her efforts. I feel completely comfortable sharing my personal issues with her.
Counseling is not easy for me but I felt instantly comfortable with Ms. Wiggins. She very knowledgeable in her field and the care she is providing to us. I’m confident in her abilities and look forward to continue working with Ms. Wiggins.
