Hi! I’m Nicole…
-
I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate dedicated to guiding adolescents and young adults. My approach is rooted in the belief that each individual holds the key to their own well-being; my role is to provide the tools, support, and understanding to unlock that potential.
-
I’m easy to open up to and I like connecting with my clients in an authentic way. Clients often describe sessions with me as being similar to talking with a friend. But I don’t trade professionalism for my friendly approach. I will be honest and direct with you, and you will get the same level of commitment and motivation from me throughout our work as day one.
-
I will not push my ideals or opinions. Your beliefs and choices are your own. I am here to help you feel more confident and authentic as you explore paths you decide to take. If you need more direct guidance, I can offer that from a non-biased perspective.
-
My strengths lie in relationship building (via communication and boundary setting), motivation enhancement, and depression and anxiety management. Personal accountability and discipline are hard to build, but I’m confident I can help you if you’re serious about your goals. Therapy with me means a more confident you!
-
I have good intuition and strong analytical skills that help me interpret behaviors and thought processes. In addition to my master’s degree, which allows me to select and apply a variety of therapeutic techniques and approaches, I have a bachelor’s in social psychology, which deepens my understanding of human emotion, cognition, and behavior.
-
I lean into science and evidence-based techniques to help my clients create change in their daily lives. My approach and intention is to create change quickly (sometimes in as little as six sessions). I like to think of therapy as a way to get the tools you need to manage your own issues. I don’t believe that therapy has to be forever; but I’m here for those of you who want a longer therapeutic commitment.
