Ep 72 — Niké Dixon, MSW — The Invisible Architecture of Love

In this episode, our newest Modern Mind therapist, Niké Dixon, sits down with Modern Mind therapist Lydia Duquette to take over the LOVELINK podcast to explore the question: “What shapes how we show up in love and relationships?”

Niké has a strong interest in how people relate to one another and how social and cultural influences quietly shape the ways we think, feel, and connect.

Her therapeutic approach integrates psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, narrative, and other evidence-based modalities, creating space to explore the deeper roots of one’s experiences while building practical strategies that foster growth, resilience, and meaningful change in themselves and their relationships.

Tune in as Niké and Lydia explore how early influences, inherited narratives, and subtle “blueprints” shape how we connect, navigate conflict, and experience closeness—inviting listeners to reflect on their own relational patterns with curiosity and compassion, and to imagine what’s possible when we begin questioning the stories we’ve inherited about relationships.

LOVELINK is hosted by Brooklyn-based therapists Dr. Signe Simon and Dr. Simone Humphrey. If you’d like to contact us directly, send us an email to info@modernmind.co.
