Welcome! I'm Nicole Mare a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). My journey in the realm of psychotherapy is fueled by a genuine passion for aiding others and a steadfast commitment to helping others in their ongoing growth and learning about themselves. As a bilingual therapist and court-appointed supervisor, I've devoted myself to providing compassionate and effective therapy. With expertise in various areas, including therapy for children and families, trauma, addiction, sexual trauma, as well as personality and mood disorders, and relationship therapy, I offer personalized support tailored to each individual's unique circumstances. For the past 5 years, I've been an integral part of the Citrus Health Network, where I provide psychotherapy services aimed at healing and empowering individuals. My approach is rooted in the belief that everyone possesses the strength to overcome their challenges; sometimes, they simply require guidance to discover it. My objective is to equip clients with the tools and insight necessary for their personal growth and enduring self-sufficiency. Outside of my role as a therapist, I cherish life's simple pleasures. Whether I'm dancing to my favorite tunes or enjoying peaceful walks with my beloved dog, Zen, these moments of joy and relaxation are fundamental to my well-being. My mission is clear yet profound: to empower individuals to live their most authentic lives. I wholeheartedly believe in the transformative potential of empathetic listening and meaningful dialogue, and I am dedicated to supporting those in need, one session at a time.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. I enjoy creating this plan collaboratively with my clients - you know yourself best.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

During the last 4 years as a therapist, I have developed the skills necessary to helping my clients (a) identify the root cause of their challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past four years. It’s helped dozens of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety/depression/ADHD symptoms. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.

Attachment-based

I have been using attachment based therapy in my practice for the last four years. It has helped clients to explore and identify the importance of early relationships and bonds with caregivers in shaping an individual's emotional development and interpersonal relationships throughout life. In attachment-based therapy, the focus is on exploring and understanding these early attachment experiences and their impact on current patterns of relating and functioning.

Trauma-Focused CBT

Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based approach used to help individuals, typically children and adolescents, who have experienced traumatic events. We'll use TF-CBT to identify and process your trauma and help you feel safe in your mind, body, and environment again.
