Hi there, I'm Nicole. Do you feel overwhelmed by memories of the past or just overwhelmed in general and are not sure why? Do you ever wonder if there is any hope that you can overcome the effects of past abuse, trauma, or just really hard experiences? It is possible! I would love to hear your story and be a guide to help you start facing things that may be easier to run away from. Do you feel like you are never doing enough? Do you have negative self-talk or excessive guilt? Do you feel like you are always trying to please other people? You may have a case of perfectionism. I would love to share what I know to help you overcome this kind of anxiety!

Are you looking for your life to be different somehow, but you aren't sure exactly what that would look like, let alone how to make it happen? I can help you identify your most pressing issues, then help you identify solutions that you believe will work and support you while you start to implement changes. I believe you are the most likely person to be able to identify your best solutions, and perhaps all you need is encouragement and acceptance to get started. I work from a background of existential theory (the idea that our human experiences are shared and we are all looking for meaning, purpose, satisfying relationships, and personal freedom), and I blend cognitive behavioral theory (CBT), motivational interviewing, radical acceptance, and humor (all techniques proven through research to be effective) into my therapy techniques. I aim to be easy to talk to, an excellent and attentive listener, and always supportive. I recommend helpful assignments in between therapy sessions to help you practice new skills and learn hidden aspects about yourself. I help people who have been codependent on their partner to become empowered to love fully and be loved back. I can help you learn specific techniques to lessen the symptoms of your anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. I believe therapy is about helping you look at yourself honestly, building up the things you love about yourself, and helping you improve the things you wish were different.

Hi, its nice to meet you. I have been a therapist for about a decade now. Before being a therapist I spent 20 years in Healthcare Administration with 17 of those in management. I share this because I understand the stress that comes with the "corp" world and management. After 20 years, I decided to change careers and utilize my skills in coaching and mentoring. I received my Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University, where I also went on to get my Doctorate in Health Psychology. I am a health and wellness focused therapist, so I spend time talking about how to balance your life, your stress, and ensure you are having some fun in your life. Therapeutically I'm very eclectic. I use different techniques based on your needs. That being said, yes, I use CBT, DBT, REBT, talk therapy, and assessments as most therapists do. My primary focus is Anxiety (including Social), Anxiety due to a Medical Condition, Bariatric Pre-Surgical therapy/testing, ADHD in adults including testing and therapy, and Sports/Orthopedic Rehabilitation Counseling.

Building self-awareness is often a hard place to start. I meet my patients where they are in their journey and support the process. Sometimes taking the first step to explore psychotherapy is confusing. Ask questions so you can find a therapist who is the right fit for you. My approach meets people where they are presently, to determine where they want to be in the future. I like to get to know my new patients to determine their needs in treatment.

I specialize in working with anxieties, depression, trauma, as well as with teens and parents. I’ve worked with kids most of my life in one form or another doing therapy, mentoring, and teaching English abroad. Whatever is bothering you I’m here to help. LGBTQ friendly. Whatever it is, let me help you, and if there’s something I don’t have the proper expertise in then I also have no problem admitting that and directing you to someone who can help so that you don’t have to waste your time.

Hi! My name is Kim Hughes and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Addictions Professional, I have more than two decades of experience helping clients with anger management, anxiety, substance abuse, depression, problem-solving, decision-making, vocation, parenting, opposition/conduct, and ADHD. Additionally, I have over 15 years of experience assessing and working with families involved in the dependency system. I also have extensive experience working with teens. I love mixing talk therapy with cognitive behavioral approaches and have found significant success with the person-centered approach, during which I afford every client a safe and empathetic space in which they can focus on self-evaluation & self-empowerment in order to develop healthy coping skills. Beginning therapy is a huge step and can cause anxiety all by itself. So even if you're just thinking about talking with someone, you've already come a long way. I tend to be more informal and talk with clients just as I would talk with anyone else, because it's very important to me that you feel completely comfortable with this process. Through our sessions, I want you to feel empowered and in control of your life and your decisions. I cannot promise a quick fix but I will walk this journey with you and assist in any way possible!

Do negative beliefs such as, "I'm not good enough" or "I don't deserve love" play in your mind? Do you feel overwhelmed or stuck? Symptoms like these can be confusing for us and cause problems within our relationships when we can't figure out how to get past them or process them. Oftentimes, negative events from earlier in life come back as a reaction, not a memory. As a trauma therapist, I can efficiently get you on the path to feeling better! I can help by providing a safe space to explore what may be causing unhappiness in your life and make connections to answer the question, “Why is this happening?”. I am experienced in treating trauma and work from both a client-centered and trauma-informed framework, including interventions such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and EFT. I offer a non-judgmental, supportive space for you to work towards an identified goal. When you are ready and want change, I am ready to help. Send me an email so we can schedule our first session!
