Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Charlotte, NC

Life is a tough journey, and no one is meant to go through it alone, though it can often feel very lonely. My goal as your therapist is to provide a safe, welcoming, non-judgmental space for you to process your experiences, heal your wounds, explore yourself, and continue to grow on your journey. Counseling allows you to process life events, feelings, and more which often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and relief from distress. Seeking help is a brave decision to make and I’m glad you’re here! I believe everybody is unique and so it is important to find what works the best for you.

You’re always exhausted. The alarm clock buzzes, and you struggle to open your eyes. The blanket feels like it’s made of lead as you attempt to get out of bed. It’s the same every morning, and things only worsen from there. You sleepwalk through each day in a thick, hazy fog. You’re not fully present, but you go through the motions because you’re supposed to. It’s getting difficult to remember a time when you actually felt good, and you can’t imagine ever feeling happy again. You've tried fixing your problems, but no solution lasts for long. You know that something needs to change, but you don’t know how. It feels hopeless!

As an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and a Licensed Clinician with experience working in a trauma unit I have always had a passion for helping others in an impactful way. I aspire and dedicate my time working with individuals who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, sexual and domestic abuse, family discord, personality disorders and ADHD. Therapy can be scary and in many communities, still very stigmatized. I aid in assisting individuals who make a brave decision to seek out therapy for self or close loved ones, in order to live the best life possible.

Do you notice that your teen is not themselves? Do they seem overwhelmed? Are they angry or withdrawn? As a parent of a struggling teen, you find yourself worrying about them and you want to make things better. But everything you have tried doesn’t seem to be working. It can be hard to reach out to a counselor because you want to find someone you trust who is knowledgeable but you also want that counselor to be able to get your teen to open up and talk about what is bothering them.

I am very dedicated to my clients and I assist my clients to the best of my ability to achieve their therapy goals. I also believe therapy is not an extremely long period of time and I encourage my clients to work very diligently to achieve their goals in a reasonable timeframe. I do not believe therapy should be years and years of meeting with a therapist. I do not want a client to get dependent on me as a therapist. I want my clients to reach their goals and be able to gradually exit therapy in the best way possible.

My name is Nicole Richardson and I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2020. I was born and raised in mid-Michigan and moved to Eastern NC when I was stationed at Cherry Point in the Marine Corps. I started my own journey with mental health around the age of 22. In 2017 I started my professional journey with my undergrad degree in social work at UNCW. I then went on to obtain my master's through The University of Southern California. I enjoy plants (to a fault), hiking and exploring, painting, and music.
