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.

"Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful" Joshua J Marine Life is full of twists, turns, peeks, and valleys. That is what makes it such an adventure. Like all adventures obstacles can get in the way, preventing us from moving forward, leaving us confused and feeling alone. Are you finding yourself blocked by circumstances, distressing emotions or challenging personal or professional relationships? Please know that you don't have to go it alone. Allow me to walk with you through those times. Through psychotherapy you can take charge and improve your quality of life.

I treat anxiety and stress, along with trauma disorders using EMDR. I can help clients with a wide range of issues. My approach to therapy is client centered. I treat the whole person, not just a symptom profile of the person. Results from my work include symptom reduction and clients feeling more confident and focused. Clients also report not feeling so burdened internally, thus freeing them to be more alive and present, thus increasing quality of life experience,

Human beings are storytellers. We weave stories from our understanding of our own lives and the lives of those around us. As our minds compose the story it is possible for us to lose track of the plot. Occasionally we find ourselves believing that we are a supporting character in our own lives. You are meant to be the protagonist of your own story. I believe that you are meant to live a life of unique purpose, and that you are worthy of dignity and respect. Counseling can be the place where we recalibrate our thinking, and strengthen the parts of ourselves we keep hidden and safe. Sometimes we need help, and that is only human.

In therapy I aim to engage clients in their process of personal growth and meet them where they are in their change process. Various interventions are used to meet the diversity of clientele that I work with. My personal approach to therapy is supportive of self-care and the influences of family and environmental contexts.

Congratulations on taking the first courageous step towards improving things in your life. I have been providing psychotherapy services to people for over three decades as a Licensed Psychologist. In that time, I have learned that each person is unique; with their own combination of strengths, struggles and histories. We start with getting to know each other and then focus on what you want to change/improve. We work together to set goals and then to achieve those goals. I view this process as a collaborative process.

Welcome. Many of my clients have experienced pain, disconnection, inconsistent routines, a low sense of self, or live with complicated big/deep feelings. They struggle with perfectionism. They have a hard time letting others in. They had unsafe, harmful, or invalidating experiences. It has stayed with them. They struggle to connect to their emotional world. Some tend to overextend themselves, ignore their needs, and feel wrong for putting themselves first. Some learned to tough things out, suppress, and hold it all in. Some feel lost and in the dark. They wonder how to process, understand, and heal, and have deeper connections.
