Pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood can bring intense change. You might notice anxiety, low mood, or feel stretched in ways you didn’t expect. As a licensed social worker and trained birth and postpartum doula, I bring both clinical expertise and a grounded understanding of the perinatal experience. I work with people navigating postpartum anxiety and depression, birth trauma, adjustment to parenthood, and trauma related to sexual and domestic violence.

I work with adults from a wide range of backgrounds, identities, and life experiences. Many are navigating post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or the constant pressure of moving through systems that weren’t built with their needs in mind.

Whether you’re adjusting to major life changes, navigating workplace stress, facing challenges in relationships, exploring your identity, or coping with unresolved anxiety, trauma, or grief, you don’t have to work through it alone. My therapy room is a safe, judgment-free space to unpack everything that is happening in your life. It's a space that honors your experiences and affirms all of the parts that make you, you.

If you take this journey with me, it would be a collaborative one. I work with adult individuals and couples who seek to overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, hard life transitions or relational struggles. I also specialize in working with fellow immigrants or those in multicultural relationships. I believe each individual holds inherent strengths and the capability to change. Together we would create a space for you to process your experiences while identifying tools you can use to move forward.

You’re the one people count on, the one who keeps it together—but lately, life’s been feeling overwhelming. Maybe you’re navigating transitions, carrying stress you can’t name, or feeling stuck in habits that no longer serve you. You want clarity, balance, and space to just be without judgment. You’re not lost—you’re just ready for something more grounded and aligned.

Parenting can be deeply rewarding - but it can also feel confusing, exhausting, and lonely when your child is struggling. When children struggle with big emotions or challenging behaviors, many parents come to me with worry about what to do and/or if they're doing the right things. You may have tried many strategies but still feel stuck in the same patterns. Rather than only focusing on the child, my approach is backed by research which shows that supporting parents and caregivers often creates the most meaningful change.

Hi! I'm Brittany Nicholson and I hold an NY Mental Health Counseling license. I conduct my sessions with a strength - based approach. I believe there is no one size fits all approach to mental health therefore I utilize a variety of techniques such as Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, CBT, Narrative therapy, and Psychoanalysis. I support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, personality disorders, trauma, and life transitions. With a warm, yet affirming approach I create a judgment-free space that will help you build your emotional intelligence, challenge distorted thoughts, and encourage critical thinking.

As a bilingual Latina therapist, I understand how hard it can be to balance who you are with what’s expected of you. My clients often come to me feeling stuck—navigating big life changes, seasonal depression, or anxiety that’s hard to shake. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what you’re feeling, and build tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself again.

I work with adolescents and adults on a wide range of challenges from general counseling and adjustment issues (feeling "stuck") to more clinical issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and sexual issues. I focus on LGBT clients, particularly in the area of transgender identity, but have a diverse client base overall. I have experience working with clients that have issues related to polyamory, the kink community, and navigating these issues within relationships. I also have interns and supervisees that can see sliding scale clients from various populations.

I specialize in imposter syndrome and anxiety in academics, public service workers, and people in creative careers who are ready to stop measuring themselves by a flawed standard. I also work with people navigating anxiety in relationships- patterns of anxious/avoidant attachment, fear of intimacy, or relationship structures that fall outside the mainstream, including ethical non-monogamy. I also believe in the importance of equitable access to quality mental health care and have often worked with individuals who are new to therapy or have previously had negative experiences with mental health providers.

You're thoughtful and resilient, and you've worked hard for what you have. From the outside, you're the one others depend on — the one who's had to manage different worlds to get where you are. But underneath, there are old hurts and patterns that weigh you down. Maybe it's anxiety or depression you can't shake. Maybe it's a voice that says you're not good enough. Maybe it's relationship patterns you want to change. You don't have to carry it alone. Together, we'll work on healing those old hurts so you can stop just coping and start becoming who you really are.
