"You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." -A.A. Milne We all struggle at times to see our inner strengths and capabilities due to the life experiences which have shaped us. I work in the belief that we each have everything we need to achieve a fulfilled and successful life already present within us; sometimes we just need a little help accessing it. Using a multi-modality approach I encourage my clients to work in the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring us to self awareness, acceptance, and lasting change. I began my working career as an EMT in pre-hospital and Emergency Room settings. The desire to further my education and better serve my community led me to pursue becoming an LMFT. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Brandman University and a Master’s degree in Psychology with a dual emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy and Clinical Counseling from Brandman University. I have additional training and experience in Clinical Pastoral Education from the College of Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy at David Grant Medical Center at Travis Air Force Base and have worked in both residential treatment and clinical settings. I have four sons and two grandchildren. In my off time I enjoy spending time in nature, photography, and attending baseball games with my husband of 25 years.

A little about me: my name is Nicole. I've been in private practice for more than 5 years. I earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work from San Jose State University. During graduate school, I completed an internship with former foster youth and and worked as a social worker at Stanford Children's Hospital in the oncology and stem cell transplant center. I spent some time working in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at a local hospital as well as hospice. I am now the interim Manager of a Behavioral Health Department. I continue to do therapy because I truly love connecting with people who are looking to grow and enrich their lives. During our sessions, I will listen attentively and non-judgmentally to what you have to say. I will ask thought-provoking questions and offer insights and feedback to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your situation. Most importantly, I will be here to support you, encourage you, and help you build the confidence and resilience needed to achieve your goals. Remember, therapy is a collaborative effort, and your active participation and honesty will be crucial to your success. You’ve come this far in finding a therapist, so you’re already taking the right steps in embracing change. I believe in your ability to make meaningful changes in your life and look forward to working with you. Let’s get started!

Hello! My name is Nicole Chess and I have a masters in sport psychology and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I have a master's sport psychology degree from John F. Kennedy University and I have a masters in marriage and family therapy. I also have a B.A. in Business with a specialization in management information systems from San Jose State University, which I played on the number #1 golf team for many years and was in the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association). I have a passion for helping individuals transform their lives and dreams into bigger and better ones. I will collaborate with you so we come up with a plan to implement practical ways to make them come true! I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy plus hypnotherapy. I can incorporate these inside therapy so that you can improve outside of therapy and in your daily life. My clients usually see improvement in as little as 3 to 4 sessions. I have worked with lawyers, pilots, pro athletes, techies, and people from all faiths and all walks of life.
