Hi! I am Nicole French. I have been a counselor for the last 10 years and have worked with some of the most diverse clients helping them to find a path toward health and mental wellness. For some this has looked like freeing themselves from old hurts, finding value in themselves again or possibly for the first time, setting healthy boundaries in various types of relationships, learning skills to manage specific symptoms like anxiety or depression, and building achievable goals in all areas of their lives.

Are you at a turning point in your life and looking for change but not sure what to do? Frustrated with behavior that seems to be counterproductive? Haunted by past events, nightmares or anxiety? You can't get your ducks in a row if they are all in the closet; therapy is a good way to get them out and gives you someone to help herd them. “More Joy” is my motto, in life and in counseling, and I'd love to help you.

Are you tired of falling into the same patterns over and over? Then you are ready to do some deeper work and I can guide or coach you to make the inner changes you need or to heal wounds that are now affecting you. With over twenty years of counseling experience, I draw on my skills and compassion to guide my clients to reach their goals. I have many great ideas and areas of expertise to help you. Schedule your in-person or telehealth counseling session today! You deserve a skilled and compassionate therapist.

Do you find yourself plagued by memories from the past that create negative beliefs, feelings or self-destructive behaviors in the present? My mission as a therapist is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can find freedom from the past, reconnect to your authentic self, in order to cultivate feelings of satisfaction and fulfillment in the present. I am passionate about helping you discover and heal the parts of yourself that may continue to live in shame, isolation, or fear. My own personal healing journey has led me to specialize in a holistic approach that offers support to your mind, body and heart connection.

I provide therapy for individuals, couples, families, and groups of all orientations, from preteens to elders. I am a trained EMDR therapist and have a passion to care for patients who are the survivors or witnesses of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. I provide assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and coordination of care for a range of mental health challenges including: PTSD, mood disorders, anxiety, adjustment disorders, dissociative disorders, bereavement, identity struggles, and relational distress. I am also honored to provide therapeutic support for our U.S. military warriors returning home, as well as their families.

I provide therapy for adults, college students and adolescents with various mental health concerns that include mood disorders, PTSD, grief and adjustment disorders, and relational distress. I seek to form deep and authentic relationships with clients and sit with them in struggle and loss. I empathetically connect with clients in order to facilitate healing in a safe environment and empower them to find their voice and practice healthy practices in relationships. I help clients move forward by collaboratively solving problems, examining and restructuring negative beliefs, and bringing forth their true identity and strengths.

I am passionate about working with people who are trying to overcome trauma, self doubt or unhelpful thought and behavioral patterns. I am passionate about and have an extensive background in working with poly/ENM, kink, LGBTQIA and other alternative lifestyle communities.

My approach to psychotherapy is highly relational. I believe that most of our distress in life, often in the form of anxiety, depression, or uncontrolled anger, arises from unresolved conflicts in our important relationships, past and present, and that psychotherapy works by providing a new relationship-a supportive, empathic one in a which person can explore these important interpersonal connections, come to understand them in new ways, and change them. I focus the dialogue on a person's significant relationships, past and current, and on the feelings that one has about oneself and the important people in one's life.

I empower my clients to identify and amplify the strengths within themselves and their world that they may have lost touch with or perhaps have not yet discovered. In our sessions together, you'll experience a healthy balance of acceptance and empathy paired with therapeutic challenges towards growth. I like to collaborate with my clients so that their treatment is individualized to their unique goals, culture, and strengths. I offer cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solutions focused therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and Christian spiritual integration for clients seeking faith based therapy.

Perhaps you are here to explore how therapy can help you through trauma, relational stuck points, and cultivating a better relationship with yourself. I would love to be part of your journey as I know that the paths in life can be rocky and sometimes treacherous. At times we just need someone to help us get back up after falling down or just be with one who may have a little bit more familiarity of routes that are walked through certain terrain in life. I may not have the road map. But together we can chart a trajectory that could lead you to better outcomes and a different destination then perhaps that you have been experiencing.

Welcome and congratulations on considering couples therapy! I primarily work with couples who are highly motivated, and ready to actively work on their relationship. Many of the couples I work with are stressed, struggle with communicating, and may even be close to ending their relationship. I also work with couples who are interested in enhancing an already stable relationship. The couples I work with are seeking hands-on direction, support, and tools to improve their communication and connection.

Life challenges, past hurts, consuming worries, and loss can be so overwhelming at times that it can feel as though they are directing your life. It is during these times that we seek to access our inner resilience to open the door to healing and a pathway to a life of feeling present, connected, and fulfilled. Resilience-informed therapy works to strengthen your ability to process, adapt, grow, and flourish despite challenging circumstances. With enhanced resilience, we are able to enjoy more meaningful relationships, repair the narrative of past trauma and loss, and live with a sense of presence and purpose.
