New to Grow
I'm Yvonne Nickerson, I'm a Boston University graduate with 14 years of experience. I've worked in-patient, mental health clinic and as a private Practitioner. As a result, I've had experience with different disorders, different cultures and a wide range of issues. Through my work with clients I've watched people make positive changes that betters their lives and improve their health.
The first session is important. I try to establish a positive relationship from the beginning.
I'm very client centered. I try to get to know the client and their desires, needs, and wants.
If your in a transition, trying to make a life decision, struggling with a mood disorder, have health issues or substance use issues then I offer a non-judgrmental, supportive space to discuss your concerns and issues, while providing guidance. I use compassion, strength based and trauma informed practice to better serve the whole person. I would be honored to walk with you in your journey.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I teach this method to clients to learn how to change their thought processes and create a more positive thought mindset reducing depression and anxiety.
Eclectic
I use eclectic methods of well-being such as diet, exercise, breath work, and meditation along with compassion and support.
Psychoeducation
I provide education when needed on sleep hygiene, grief, depression, anxiety, and other mood diorders.
Supportive
I work with the client to support the client's goals while I'm therapy.
Strength-Based
I choose to focus on the strengths a client brings to therapy and draw on them to build success.
