Joyce Nicholson
(she/her)
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I use a person centered approach tailored to the individual to help individuals find peace within themselves and joy in their emotions. I have a background working with people experiencing psychosis, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. I believe that there is no such thing as “normal” as we all have our own path to walk. I am passionate about about helping others meet the highest version of themselves and grow into that version. I believe that a person is a whole creature - mind, body, and spirit, and all of that must be nurtured.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session will be us getting to know each other. We will work collaboratively on your goals, breaking them down into smaller steps to help see the path to achieving your dreams.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am an empathetic therapist. I listen to what you say, as well as what you are not saying. I work with you and will be your biggest cheerleader through this process, helping you find your inner strength.
