About me

My name is Nikole Bower, LCSW and I’m glad you’re here. Navigating through mental health can be difficult and intimidating. I’m here to provide tools that will allow you to develop skills to overcome whatever life brings your way. If you’re experiencing a life transition, motherhood/parenthood, loss, or life stressors, let’s overcome it together. Having experience in many of these aspects of life, allows me to provide a safe environment. You can overcome whatever life throws at you.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, to build rapport. We will get a general overview of what is causing stressors in your life, and your expectations while engaging in therapy. Once we have established goals we will create a treatment plan that will best fit your life and schedule sessions to reach your identified goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked with a wide range of populations over the past 10 years has allowed me to build experience and knowledge in all aspects of life. Having hands on experience with a wide range of mental health diagnoses I am able to utilize skills in difficult situations and manage difficult conversations. Providing a therapeutic and nonjudgmental approach has easily been developed, and being a Mother myself, I provide an empathetic approach.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Are you struggling with anxiety and is it impacting your daily life? Do you need clarity with a recent life change? I have 8 years of experience working in mental and behavioral health, and over 15 years working with children. I serve clients with a vast array of mental health diagnoses. I specialize with individuals who experience anxiety, depression, postpartum, and trauma related disorders. Being a mother myself, I understand the daily challenges of motherhood/ parenthood. Let’s work together to identify and take control of daily stressors and work towards developing coping skills to better support building a healthier you.

I found Nikole while looking for someone who specializes in women’s issues and trauma after some recent life events. From the start, she’s been empowering, authentic, and incredibly compassionate. Even if she hasn’t experienced what I’m going through, she brings a deep awareness and understanding that makes me feel seen. She creates a space where I can talk freely, and she always offers thoughtful feedback and asks questions. I truly value our sessions — they’ve helped my healing journey.
