Hi!  I'm Nicole.  I'm a Clinical Therapist specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and trauma/PTSD with adolescents and adults.  I use a strength-based approach and cognitive-behavioral therapy to help my clients work towards their goals.  I'm passionate about seeing a client's confidence and self-advocacy skills grow as they realize their own potential. Reaching out for help can often be a challenging and scary experience.  That's why I offer my clients the room they need to explore their concerns with someone who is safe, compassionate, and understanding.

Are you an expert at covering up your deepest feelings so much that those closest to you are unaware you are struggling? Is it hard for you to let people in emotionally, out of fear? Does this sometimes manifest in shame, irritability, miscommunication, anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, and inauthenticity? It rarely feels like the “right time” to navigate our most vulnerable feelings, until we start.

Life can be overwhelming. Whether you are 3, 33, or 103, you may not feel you have the capacity to cope with what comes at you. Often, people who come to me have had events in their life that cause them distress, such as trauma, abuse and neglect. With kids, this can look like behavior changes or challenges. My role is to provide support as you work through the challenges and help you achieve your goals.

Teen Therapists

What does therapy for teenagers look like?

When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?

There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?

You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
