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.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
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.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Informed Therapy
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
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.
