I’m Nicole Lewis, LCSW, LICSW-S, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, dedicated to supporting Black women in their mental health and personal growth journeys. I help clients navigate life’s challenges, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and create practical strategies to live more balanced, fulfilling lives. In therapy, I combine evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy to meet each client’s unique needs. My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore emotions, process past experiences, and develop actionable tools for personal growth.

I help clients navigate life’s challenges, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and create practical strategies to live more balanced, fulfilling lives.

I work with women who often feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or stuck in patterns that hold them back. Together, we focus on building self-awareness, setting healthy boundaries, and fostering self-trust, empowering you to step into your power and live intentionally. My approach is supportive, practical, and tailored to help you achieve real, lasting results.

First session

In your first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and building a comfortable, supportive space for you. This session is an intake assessment where you can share your story, goals, and challenges, and I’ll gather information to understand your needs. You can expect to talk openly, ask questions, and leave with a clear understanding of how we can work together to support your growth and well-being.

Strengths

My approach is client-focused, supportive, and practical, blending evidence-based methods like EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy to meet your unique needs. I prioritize creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore emotions, process past experiences, and develop healthier patterns. Clients often experience increased self-confidence, clearer boundaries, stronger relationships, and practical tools to navigate life’s challenges with greater balance and empowerment.

Ideal clients

My ideal clients are women who often puts others first, juggling work, family, and personal goals, yet you feel stretched, unseen, or stuck in patterns that hold you back. You want to set boundaries, trust yourself, and strengthen your relationships. You crave a safe space to process emotions, gain clarity, and take steps toward feeling confident, empowered, and in control.

Treatment methods

EMDR

EMDR Therapy (Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy) is a type of therapy that helps your brain process difficult or upsetting memories so they feel less overwhelming. We use gentle eye movements or other techniques to help you reframe these experiences, which can make it easier to cope and feel more in control.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

In our work together, I use person-centered therapy, which focuses on you and your experiences. My role is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood. This approach helps you explore your thoughts and feelings, build self-awareness, and find solutions to the challenges you face.
