Hi there! I'm Nicole and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with Stricklen Health & Wellness, LLC. I graduated from Brenau University with a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology. I enjoy working with clients who are facing problems with infertility, women's issues , or loss of a child. Previously, I have worked with a variety of clients, but decided to focus solely on women's health after experiencing my own miscarriage and subsequent infertility issues.

Our 21st century lives can be overwhelming. Being human and keeping up with all that entails is not easy, and we shouldn’t have to navigate the hard times alone. Overwhelm, exhaustion, + the pressure of life’s demands create stress and anxiety that takes its toll on our body. Or maybe you just feel unfulfilled, anxious or stuck. It's all real. And I can help.

I am a relational psychotherapist, which means that I believe relationships (with family, friends, coworkers, higher powers, our relationship with our self, etc.) often play a role in our suffering and, yet, also play a crucial role in our healing. Relatedly, the relationship between the therapist and client is of utmost importance and requires trust and authenticity for both parties involved. In my work with clients, I use a variety of individualized, eclectic approaches to help each person meet their goals and needs. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, empowering, and collaborative.

Feeling overwhelmed? Tired of situations/outcomes not meeting your expectations? Burdened by the stress of a life that you thought you wanted while also questioning decisions about work, family & love? In order to bring positive change into ones life, you must first provide a safe and secure environment for one to reflect on their life. I take great pride in providing that environment. Someone did that for me and it transformed my life. It would be privilege to do the same for you.

My approach to counseling is based on genuine caring, acceptance and non-judgment. I work with individuals struggling with a range of issues. My primary areas of expertise are: depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationships, women's issues , trauma, and PTSD. I strive to provide a comfortable and supportive therapeutic environment for each client, and I focus on what works best for each individual and/or family.

I believe that you are the expert of your life! My job is to be curious and to help you gain more understanding of yourself. A good therapist doesn't claim to have all the answers for why you are the way you are although I may have some ideas that I will share. When it comes to getting answers & more understanding, we will form hypotheses together and you will come to your own conclusions. I facilitate and guide that process! I'm here to share my knowledge to help you make decisions that are authentic, rational, and well-explored.

Seeking therapy is rarely an easy task and I applaud your courage in making this brave choice. Navigating life's challenges can be overwhelming and leave you feeling alone or unsure of what's next. In our time together, we will not only address the root of your challenges yet also identify solutions that alleviate worry and enhance your confidence in successfully moving forward. I am here to support you in the next steps of your journey toward becoming the best version of you. My specialty areas include: Life Transitions, Fertility/Infertility Issues, Anxiety, Women's Issues , Sexuality, Sexual Trauma, and Stress Management.

In life, it is important to have goals and a sense of the necessary steps to achieve them. There will be times in life when you or your love ones will be faced with difficult situations, interfering with achievement of their desired goals. My goal is to assist you in identifying hindrances, and help you navigate through them. I am dedicated to enriching and improving the quality of your life.

My ideal client would be a person committed to empowering themselves, through developing self-awareness and control. I consider myself to be a partner/guide/cheerleader for my clients and focus on supporting their journey. I offer encouragement and the development of healthy boundaries.

Premier Comprehensive Services has Licensed Professionals with experience in mental health, behavioral health, substance abuse treatment, and quality of life improvement skills. As the owner, I am a graduate of Spelman College and have obtained a Masters in Clinical Psychology at The Georgia School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University. Our practice assists families, couples, adults, and adolescents. We are trained to treat and service a diverse range of individuals and disorders (anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, grief, women's issues , etc.).

It is our belief that the decisions we make and the behaviors we exhibit are directly related to what we know as our reality. Knowing and understanding that fact leads us to approach every situation with the mindset that you, as the client, have the ability and power to make positive changes in your life. We know that placing blame, not taking responsibility, and not living up to your potential, only allows others to be in control of your life, leaving you without a voice. It is our philosophy that NOT BEING PRESENT FOR YOU can lead to BOWING DOWN TO OTHERS.

Sharon R Peterson, LCSW, CEDS: Making the decision to begin therapy is not an easy one. But, it can be one of the best decisions you can make to empower yourself & move beyond unresolved issues or to help find the right path to take to improve your life or to recover. Psychotherapy is a collaborative approach between a therapist and client. At Psychotherapy Services of Atlanta, we will help you learn more about your condition, your moods, feelings, thoughts and behaviors. Which, in turn, will help you learn how to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills.

Working from a person-centered perspective, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important components for change. I offer an empathic space to explore your goals toward recovery. I use a variety of theoretical approaches, including CBT, existential, and interpersonal therapies. Specializing in eating disorders, I begin the therapeutic relationship by meeting clients where they are in the recovery process. I understand that the development of an eating disorder is complex, and that there is no "one size fits all" approach to treatment. I can help you learn positive coping skills and address body image, identity, and self-esteem issues.

I specialize in an eclectic mix of cognitive behavioral therapy & insight-oriented therapy geared toward helping clients discover answers & take control of their lives. I specialize in women's issues but also treat youth with attachment, abuse, identity & oppositional behavior problems; adults with occupational & relationship stress & chronic medical problems; & older adults confronting life's changes. I enjoy helping couples function most optimally and provide evaluations related to ADHD, bariatric surgery & organ transplant hopefuls, parental fitness, psychosexual issues, vocational & career exploration, & general intellectual, academic & personality testing.
