About Jade Kikta

Jade Kikta, MS, is a compassionate and dedicated therapist who is passionate about helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and achieve meaningful personal growth. She strives to create a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives.

Jade earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from West Virginia University and her Master of Science in Counseling from Pennsylvania Western University. Prior to becoming a therapist, she gained valuable experience working in crisis intervention and school-based partial hospitalization programs, supporting children and adolescents experiencing a variety of mental health and behavioral challenges. These experiences helped shape her understanding of the importance of individualized, compassionate care.

Jade takes an integrative, strengths-based approach to therapy, incorporating techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She recognizes that every individual and family brings unique experiences, strengths, and needs to the therapeutic process. By tailoring her approach to each client, Jade works collaboratively to help individuals develop effective coping strategies, strengthen emotional regulation, build confidence, and navigate life’s challenges with greater self-awareness and resilience.

Outside of the therapy office, Jade enjoys spending quality time with friends and family, relaxing with her dog, reading, experimenting with new recipes, and cheering on the WVU Mountaineers!
