Nakkia Brickhouse, LCSW, RPT-S

State Director

I have been with NCG since June, 2008. I started out as a Community Based Counselor II, then became a clinical supervisor, and an Assistant Site Director at the Virginia Beach site. I obtained my B.S. from Old Dominion University and my MSW degree from Norfolk State University. I am in the process of becoming a registered play therapist, and have started the Crisis Stabilization Program for children and adults at the Virginia Beach site. I also enjoy reading and watching movies.

IACCT Director/Outpatient Therapist

I began working at NCG in 2010, providing both intensive in-home and MHSS services. I got my bachelor's degree in psychology & computer science from Oral Roberts University and a dual master's in school and community counseling from Regent University. I am a National Certified Counselor, Certified Traumatologist, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Resident LMFT. I am the newest clinical supervisor and oversee the Crisis Stabilization program. I have a passion for trauma and have had the privilege to travel doing trauma work in South Africa, Haiti, Nicaragua, Kenya, and Romania. Fun fact about me: I play 8 musical instruments!

Laryssa Rubens, LMSW, Supervisee in Social Work

Clinical Supervisor

I am a recent addition to the NCG team as of March 2023! I have previously worked in hospital-based mental health services, providing acute inpatient and crisis intervention services. I graduated from Boise State University with both my bachelors and masters degree in Social Work, and I am currently pending licensure. I feel as though I found alignment within my life's purpose when I stumbled into this field. My hope is to help guide others towards finding their “why,” and purpose in this life through connection, empowerment, and mentorship. When I am not at work you can find me hanging out with my family and three dogs, working on home projects, exploring new brunch spots, or attending various music, art, or other community events.

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Clinical Psychology from Saint Augustine’s University in 2013, a Master of Social Work Degree from Norfolk State University in 2019, and I am currently pending licensure. I have experience providing mental health treatment for individuals and families in the school setting and outpatient therapy setting. I have a passion for assisting both individuals and families as they go through different life experiences to guide them on their journey of healing and finding peace.  When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, cooking, and sports.
