Hi! I'm Nicole and I am an LPC in Texas and an LMHC in Washington State. I aim to provide an environment in which you feel accepted and encouraged as you work toward growth and contentment. I graduated with a Master's in Counseling in 2004, and since then I have worked with diverse populations dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, parenting and more. I am certified in multiple evidence-based parenting programs, and I have additional experience and training in military culture, trauma, foster care/adoption, and religious perspectives.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and a review of policies. Then we'll discuss what brings you to therapy, and what you hope to get out of it. I will gather some information regarding any symptoms you are experiencing, your mental health history, etc. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am able to build rapport with clients and demonstrate unconditional regard for them where they are. I follow my clients' lead in working toward their goals at a pace in which they are comfortable with.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I specialize in helping individuals navigate the challenges of anxiety and trauma with a compassionate, collaborative approach. If you're eager to improve and ready to embark on a journey of personal growth, I invite you to explore how we can work together to develop coping strategies, heal past wounds, and integrate your spiritual beliefs into your healing process.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I integrate several modalities into my therapy practices including CBT, CPT, somatic therapies and more. I am committed to finding a treatment plan and path that will work each client.
