Hi! I am Claudia Nichols. I received my Masters Degree from the University of Alabama and have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for 20 years. During this time, I had the opportunity to assess and treat individuals of all ages who were struggling with many different stressors. The primary focus of my practice at present is to assist clients with identifying areas for change so that they can reduce negative symptoms and improve his or her quality of life.
In our first session together, we will be gathering information so we can collaborate on a plan for success. We will also start with stressors or symptoms that are affecting client at present.
Having worked with individuals of all ages over the past 20 years, my strengths are in quickly assessing areas of need and assisting clients to develop a plan for positive change.
I have experience working with all ages but am passionate about working with all adults as they navigate life changes and stressors. My ideal client would be eager to implement interventions for change and work together to meet his or her goals.

Claudia was exactly what I was looking for: a real down-to-earth person who made it clear that dealing with depression is a normal experience for many people.
