Hello! My name is Nicholas Beard, and I am the owner of Bridgewater Behavioral Health. I am native of Lake Havasu City, Arizona and am currently working between Arizona and Texas. Over the last 10 years, I have trained and practiced in helping individuals with issues such as anxiety, depression, body image, relationships, family conflict, trauma, and sexual abuse. I am nationally certified and licensed with both the state of Arizona and Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor.
In our first session you can expect things to feel slightly more formal than they will during a typical session. Our first meeting is likely to include a lot of questions so I can try and get the bigger picture of who you are and where there are some areas for potential change and growth. Additionally, our first time interacting is a great opportunity for you to ask me any questions you may have about the work I do or what the therapy process looks like.
After working in the community and school settings I have found my passion in working with children, and adolescents as well as adults. I currently only offer sessions via tele-health making the treatment of your mental health as convenient as possible.
In providing eclectic therapy, each patient is treated with a combination of modalities that best fit the their individual needs. Eclectic therapy can include other treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, and Family Systems.
