Hello! I look forward to meeting you. We all have times when we could use a trained ear to help us sort through life circumstances that have become difficult to manage. Sometimes it's a partner urging us to seek care, or a friend. Sometimes, a problem has become so big we can no longer avoid it. Whatever it is, let's talk about it and see if things can get better, so you can live your best, fullest life.
I am a veteran, and offer 17 years experience applying evidenced-based therapies, primarily with adults, military, and first responders and their families. Additionally, my experience includes assessment of occupational fitness and incorporation of occupational improvement goals with treatment planning.
I’m dedicated to helping my clients navigate life's complexities collaboratively. Together, let us explore effective strategies for your best healing and resilience.
Take the first step to help. Call or Laura A Nichols now - (224) 435-5695
