About
Are you feeling uncertain of where you're at in life, whether that be emotionally, mentally, or vocationally? Or are you struggling to cope with feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, or low self-esteem? Going through life can be difficult, but you don't have to go through it alone. Therapy can help clarify and relieve these difficult experiences. I look forward to providing you with warmth and understanding while also using evidence-based practices to bring you to a place of growth and change.
My preferred approach to counseling is person-centered while also utilizing a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness techniques. Your therapy is always your space, I always keep in mind other modalities to adapt and adjust to your needs.
My ultimate goal as a therapist is to help you be the very best version of yourself that you can be. It is my passion to help you through listening with warmth and understanding while also using evidence-based practices to bring you to change and growth.

Nicolas Kertesz's Groups
Men's Group
As men, we tend to struggle with opening up to others about our feelings. When we do we often feel uncertain as to how to express ourselves or we worry we might be met with ridicule. This group will create an affirming environment for all men/male-identifying people looking to find ways to better express themselves. We will examine negative stereotypes of masculinity and discover helpful, positive behaviors to replace them.
