Nicole Lewis
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT

Emotion drives behavior and I want to help couples understand what is happening for them emotionally and feel safe to share their deeper feelings with their partner by using
Emotionally Focused
Couples Therapy.
Are you tired of feeling disconnected and alone in your relationship? It feels like each time you communicate, both are left feeling hurt and not understood. Maybe deep down you feel sad but the anger and frustration is building. You start to question everything and fear conflict will never be resolved. You both feel stuck and are not sure how to get out of this cycle that just repeats itself over and over.

The primary approach I use for couples is
Emotionally Focused
Therapy (EFT).
Do you feel disconnected from your partner? Does it feel like you are often walking on egg shells when he/she is around? Are things starting to feel hopeless? My primary specialty is couple's therapy. I am committed to working with couples and helping them rediscover a safe and secure bond. This is a goal worth striving for: research has shown that secure connections with our romantic partners help us feel happier and more optimistic, reduces depression, and increases the quality of our lives.

Couples Therapist.
.Are life's pressures wearing you down? Have you lost energy for people or activities you once enjoyed? Are you feeling stuck and unsure of how to change your current life situation? Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, a difficult childhood, relationship issues, low self-esteem, or something else, change is possible. Therapy sessions begin with relationship building as you share the concerns that led you to therapy. I want to hear your story and understand the life circumstances that brought you to your current situation. We will then work together to create a plan for therapy that feels right for you.

With an
Emotionally Focused
approach, I help couples to improve communication and deepen connection.
Life is difficult. The last 2 years have complicated everything. We're more anxious and depressed and our relationships are strained. When you feel anxious and/or depressed, you want relief. When couples feel disconnected and are fighting, communication and partnership can feel impossible. I have also experienced anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I can understand and support you. Working together can be the start of living the life you want. My goal as your therapist is to get to know you (or you and your partner), provide compassion, and a safe space where we can work together on strategies to help you reach your goals.

As a clinician who specializes in relationship issues and self esteem, I am a focused, engaged and passionate helper. I work with my clients to explore self-defeating thoughts that contribute to their life challenges, with the intent of achieving a more balanced (and "fair") interpretation of themselves and their surroundings. As a classically trained cognitive behavioral therapist, I am a firm believer in the notion that past traumas play-out in our adult lives.

I believe in multiple therapeutic approaches, understanding each person is an individual. I have a particular interest in working with children and fathers. I am a genuine lover and believer in humanity and feel this is felt by my clients. I use humor and non-traditional forms of therapy to build rapport and help each client feel they can overcome whatever barriers, struggles, or hardships life faces them with.

I believe every person has a story to tell and I will honor your journey every step of the way (even if you feel like you’re stepping backwards). I have a person-centered and strengths-based approach and I'm committed to understanding each client as an individual with their own abilities and concerns.

Lotus Counseling & Consulting, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Verified
At times, people just want to have a conversation and we put off going to counseling, because honestly we tell ourselves that this other thing is just a little bit more important, a bit more pressing. We forget to invest in ourselves. Life is tough, there is no doubt about that; but why go through it alone. Let me be that person for you to aid you through those tough times or I can simply be that someone that you talk with.

Emotionally Focused Therapists
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an approach to therapy that helps clients identify their emotions, learn to explore and experience them, to understand them and then to manage them. West Chester Emotionally Focused Therapy embraces the idea that emotions can be changed, first by arriving at or 'living' the maladaptive emotion (e.g. loss, fear or shame) in session, and then learning to transform it. Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples seeks to break the negative emotion cycles within relationships, emphasizing the importance of the attachment bond between couples, and how nurturing of the attachment bonds and an empathetic understanding of each others emotions can break the cycles.
