Nikita is a member of WPATH and keeps up to date on evolving standards of care and best practices for transgender adolescents and adults. Nik is additionally registered with Out Care and the LGBTQ+ Provider Directory.

Before becoming a social worker, Nik was a writer and has published three books and two short stories under a different name. Nik got his high school diploma at 14 and graduated with a BA in Creative Writing at 19.
