I’m now offering immediate openings for adults—individuals and couples alike—seeking healing and growth. Do you feel overwhelmed by your past or feel caught between different cultural or racial expectations, struggling to feel at home in any one identity Perhaps you’re stuck in a pattern of overthinking, feeling trapped in an endless cycle of worry and self-doubt. You might experience resentment, disappointment, or hurt in your relationships, sometimes believing that you’re the only one trying. If you feel like a burden, empty, or even broken—and worry that you’re just faking your way through school, work, or life—you are not alone.

Hello! Within my first few years of college, I finally figured out what I wanted to do as a career. I realized I wanted to help people through their own life obstacles, trauma, life stages, and more! I want to help others with their mental health and make their world a better place. As I continue to learn and grow throughout my professional career, I want to work with a variety of populations and ages. To me, counseling is a journey of being honest with who you are and who you want to present to the world. I believe that it is an honor to be able to embark on this journey with you and to share unique experiences of ourselves.

As we progress through our lives, it is undeniable that we will face struggles. While we are often able to deal with those struggles on our own that is not always the case. In those times when we are unable to fully move through our struggles it can be helpful to have another party be included in this process who can help us move towards a more healthy resolution. That is where working with a therapist can aid us in our time of need. I strive to provide a warm and safe environment where one can feel heard and understood without any fear of judgment.

I am a Christian counselor, and I specialize in women's issues. I have a special love for working with pastors' wives and Moms - I can help you work on your anxiety (overwhelmed, anyone?), depression (wanting to give up - that aimless, powerless feeling), post partum issues and the parenting journey (nobody wrote a rule book for this stuff...), and relationship issues (because who doesn't have some of those?). I believe God's design for women is one that is very unique, and intended to reflect His glory. I would be honored to help you reclaim His vision for your life as you grow into the story He has written for you.

I am passionate about helping women & adolescents who are going through the hardships life can bring us. Living in today's society brings challenges that can feel suffocating on top of daily life tasks and hardships. Avoiding painful areas of our lives can lead to unhealthy habits to cover up those feelings, however dulling the pain with harmful and/or addictive behaviors can further add hurt to ourselves and the ones around us. We each have strengths and assets, instead of avoiding the challenging areas, I encourage clients to engage in personal growth and exploration, to dig in and discover the areas they can evolve and grow.

I believe that healing, growth, and change are possible when people enter into therapy with a willingness to share their truth, feel, and try new things. These positive changes can include a decrease in negative symptoms, increased self-esteem, improved communication skills, and enhanced relationships.

Hi! My name is Nicole Foley. I am a licensed Master level social worker. I have over 25 years of experience working with individuals with behavioral modification needs. When working with clients, I utilize the cognitive- behavioral approach. We work on undesired behaviors through the use of behavior modification techniques with both positive and negative reinforcements. I like to emphasize the theory of changing one’s thoughts impacts feelings and behaviors. Working with me is like talking with a good friend over coffee. I am attentive and caring. My younger clients often say I’m like the cool Auntie.

While navigating through life we are often presented with struggles and challenges that may be difficult to resolve on our own and require guidance and support from someone to successfully push through these challenges with positive outcomes. As a therapist, this is where I come in; I intend to provide individuals (families and couples) a safe haven to explore and work through any area(s) of your life in which you desire to change and/or improve. It is of great importance to me that the client/therapist relationship is established upon openness, candid, with active communication on behalf of both, the client and the therapist.

It is my firm belief that everyone can benefit from therapy. The experience of having a kind and objective person to listen to your fears and challenges - a person who provides the space for you to be yourself - is powerful and healing.

I recognized after having a daughter of my own that there is an enormous gap in care as families embark on the journey of parenthood. Moms are expected to go from several appointments per month – to being handed a newborn and told “good luck.”
For most, follow-up care comes in the form of a survey ranking their feelings of anxiety and depression for the first few appointments, but there is no formal support or action taken to investigate or offer further help.
Women, parents, and families deserve more. The experiences that go into the journey of parenthood are so much deeper and more complex than what is covered in a survey.
