Nicole George

I am a credentialed Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Olympia, WA, dedicated to guiding individuals across the lifespan through their healing journeys. Many of my clients have already found great success in navigating difficult life experiences but are hoping to improve the quality of their connections - with themselves and others. I am particularly sensitive to clients with conflicting emotional and relational difficulties related to neurodivergence, significant life transitions—including divorce, grief and loss, and parenthood—and interpersonal violence and other forms of trauma. Utilizing a trauma-informed lens which looks at how the families we grew up in impact our relationships today, I strongly believe in empowering clients to be the best versions of themselves and recognize the "Kairos"—the opportune moment—when healing begins. My practice integrates a variety of evidence-based approaches, including nutrition for mental health - helping clients think and feel better by changing their diet, somatic psychotherapy - applying mind-body healing, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) - helping clients integrate and heal traumatic memories and reduce emotional distress, cognitive-behavioral techniques - making connections between thinking and feeling to get out of unhelpful thinking patterns, and solution-focused methods - looking at what's working and expanding that, all aimed at fostering holistic health.

I aim to create that healing space with you as we explore together how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, so that you can begin to make targeted change.
