I focus on creating a space that feels real, supportive, and easy to step into, while helping you better understand yourself, your needs, and build the clarity and confidence to move forward.

What typically surprises people is that I am the 11th of 13 children - all from the same parents. Growing up with so many siblings has given me a great opportunity to learn about family dynamics and effective discipline. My parents did a great job of maintaining a safe and well-behaved home, and I use their example as a template while also incorporating my own experience as a parent for working with families today. As for my approach to therapy, I use several different theories depending on the need of the client; however, my primary mode is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). It just fits my personality. If you are looking for a therapist who focuses solely on your emotions and how you're feeling on any given day, then I will not be a good fit for you. On the other hand, if you're looking for a therapist who not only does all that but who will also listen to everything you say (as well as the meaning behind what you say) and then challenge your thinking habits to help you find more effective and productive thinking patterns, then I'm on board for that. I learned a long time ago that many clients do not want things "Sugar Coated", but rather prefer their therapist to be respectfully bold and blunt. If this is who you are looking for in a therapist, then let's get to work.

Despite managing daily tasks and reaching goals, you may struggle to authentically connect with yourself, impacting your relationships, work, finances, and overall happiness. It's time to break free from this cycle!

My approach is warm, supportive, and inquisitive.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating at any stage of life. Whether you are a teenager navigating the challenges of adolescence or an adult managing life's responsibilities and transitions, seeking support is a courageous step. I strive to create a therapeutic space that is welcoming, compassionate, and free from judgment, where you can safely explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I believe therapy is more than just talking—it can be a place to laugh, reflect, learn, heal, and grow. My approach is personalized to meet the unique needs of each individual. For adolescents, I incorporate creative and engaging interventions, including art, games, and interactive activities, to encourage self-expression, emotional awareness, and healthy coping skills. For adults, I provide a supportive environment to process challenges, build resilience, and work toward meaningful goals. The teenage years can bring challenges related to identity, friendships, family relationships, academic pressures, self-esteem, anxiety, and emotional well-being. Adults often face stressors related to careers, relationships, parenting, life transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, and balancing responsibilities. Regardless of age or circumstance, everyone deserves a space where they feel heard, understood, and supported. I believe each person has a unique story, and my role is to listen, understand, and help them build on their strengths. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in a practical, down-to-earth way, helping clients recognize patterns that may be keeping them stuck. Together, we identify goals, develop healthy coping strategies, and work toward positive change. As a clinician, I am honest, transparent, open-minded, and approachable. Whether you are an adolescent finding your voice or an adult seeking support through life's complexities, I am committed to walking alongside you with empathy, encouragement, and respect. I look forward to getting to know you and supporting your journey toward growth and healing.

Hi, I’m Kizzy, and I’m really glad you’re here. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or emotionally exhausted, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling burned out, discouraged, or unsure where to turn. Together, we create a supportive space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin making meaningful changes. I use evidence-based, compassionate approaches to help clients manage anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and parenting stress, grief, trauma, and major life transitions. My style is collaborative, grounded, and practical—I help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface while also building tools you can use in everyday life. I believe therapy is not about “fixing” you, but about helping you reconnect with your strengths, develop healthier patterns, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. Healing is possible, even when it feels hard to imagine right now. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with years of experience supporting individuals and couples through complex emotional challenges, including relationship concerns, codependency, addiction, family conflict, domestic abuse, divorce, and loss. If you’re ready to invest in yourself and take the next step toward feeling more grounded and empowered, I would be honored to work with you.

Hello, my name is Nicole! Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and what I do ! I am a licensed psychotherapist practicing in Florida. I love what I do and I am honored to have the opportunity to serve my community.I work with a variety of clients from ages 5-65 both in person and via telehealth; depending on client preference. I provide individual, couples and family therapy. I like to be very client centered in my approach; and combine techniques to meet you where you are, and work with you in a way that works for you. I tailor my approach specifically for you and your specific goals for our work together. What is important for you at the current moment, is where we will start :) In addition to a client centered approach, I also like to look at the entire person, and their lifestyle to take a more holistic approach to healing. I often combine ancient/traditional practices with modern psychotherapy for those clients who are open to it. Our bodies, minds and spirits are all connected - so it can be helpful to focus on all areas to create healing on all levels and help create the best quality of life possible for each unique individual.

I am dedicated to helping adolescents and young adults navigate life’s challenges and transitions. I specialize in managing anxiety, depression, gender-related issues, self-esteem issues, adjustment difficulties, family conflict, and major life transitions. What makes my practice unique is my extensive experience with adolescents for over 9 years at multiple levels of care. I have experience with family therapy, children in foster care, residential treatment and inpatient care. I create a safe, supportive, and skill-building space tailored to your individual needs. My approach is collaborative and empowering. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a humanistic perspective, and family systems theory to guide clients toward growth and healing. From our very first sessions, you can expect open communication, active involvement in your treatment planning, and unwavering support every step of the way. I am passionate about helping people to manage challenges and build on their existing strengths. My goal is to support your needs and to empower you to live with confidence and resilience. A key part of growth involves recognizing the supports you already have and maximizing them.

Self Esteem
I am a License Mental Health Counselor in New York and Florida that works with marital counseling clients and those experiencing relationship issues and who are struggling with their sense of self confidence. My ideal client is someone who is committed to the process of self-introspection and wants to be held accountable to reach their goals. I specialize in counseling women and men on self-esteem, worth & actualization. I also support clients affected by bullying, narcissistic abuse as well as those dealing with complicated grief. As your therapist, I will assist you in discovering or uncovering yourself. This might mean realizing some difficult truths about your personality and behavior patterns, tapping into your strengths, and identifying what coping skills work for you. Or, it might mean working through emotional pain, trauma, or barriers that prevent you from being your best self. In my years of experience, I have found that once a person’s authentic identity has been discovered through therapy, clients can accept who they are, confidently speak up for themselves and understand themselves with greater perspective. Usually this leads to healthier relationship choices and dynamics. I will help you to learn more about yourself and make realistic changes.
