Hello, I’m Sherise Nicholas, LCSW, CADC. I provide a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard and understood. I work with adults and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and everyday life concerns.

With my experience as an LCSW and CADC, I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and everyday challenges using a strengths-based and solution-focused approach.

My approach combines practical coping strategies with a strengths-based perspective to help clients build resilience, improve self-awareness, and create meaningful and lasting change."

First session

"During our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know one another and understanding what brings you to therapy. We’ll discuss your current concerns, personal history, goals, and what you hope to gain from treatment. This is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and share what feels most important. My goal is to create a comfortable environment where you feel supported and leave with a clear direction for moving forward."

Strengths

"My greatest strengths are creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves and turning insight into practical change. With my experience as an LCSW and CADC, I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and everyday challenges using a strengths-based and solution-focused approach. I believe in meeting clients where they are, building on resilience, and helping them develop realistic tools they can apply in daily life."

Ideal clients

"I work best with adults and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and everyday life concerns. I support clients who may feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck and are seeking practical coping strategies and meaningful change. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can build resilience, improve self-awareness, and work toward healthier, more balanced lives."

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

"I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be contributing to stress, anxiety, depression, and life challenges. Together we develop practical coping skills and strategies that can be used in everyday life."

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

"I use a solution-focused approach to help clients identify strengths, build on successes, and create realistic goals. Therapy focuses on practical steps that support meaningful change."

Motivational Interviewing

"I use Motivational Interviewing to help clients explore ambivalence, strengthen motivation, and support positive changes in behavior and overall wellness."

Strength-Based

"I help clients recognize personal strengths and resilience while building confidence and healthy coping strategies."

What stood out is that Ms. Nichols is a mature female of African American descent and she's familiar with my city.

I liked her immediately. That was important for me with this being my first session with her and my first therapy session ever.

I like that she didn’t try to coddle me after I told her about my experiences. A lot of times when I’ve gone to therapy and shared, the next response is that I am sorry you went through that, it’s not your fault. I understand things are not my fault. I am in therapy for structure around my boundaries. I just never felt like I was really understood. So far I like our connection.
