Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in San Antonio, TX

I am a Licensed Master's Social Worker, Black therapist, Air force veteran who profoundly cares about life experience. I graduated with a Master’s in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University. I want to meet people where they are at in their journey and explore where they want to be. I hold space to take time to dive deep into what makes up your authentic self. I work from a person-centered framework. I am also aware no two people are the same. I want to take my time to explore what you need. Being vulnerable is the biggest hurdle when you are seeing a therapist.

While well versed and experience in traditional interventions and therapeutic styles, such as CBT and DBT , Nicole's approach to therapy is collaborative and holistic. She includes mythology, spirituality and other non-traditional interventions in her treatment planning, particularly working to include a client’s cultural background into their care. Nicole’s guiding principle in therapy and wellness is authenticity. This is true in how she presents herself to clients and in encouraging clients to embrace their most genuine selves.

Personally and professionally, I had to overcome many obstacles to see my ambitions through. It is for these reasons that I developed an inclination towards assisting people to meet their goals and address their own concerns within therapy. For those that are feeling uncertain and overwhelmed, I’m willing to meet you where you are at within your unique journey.

I can assist with stress management, relational problems, and navigating life adjustments. I have completed the STAR Three Tier Training for Counseling Veterans.

She has worked with individuals, families, and couples in a variety of settings, aiming to empower individuals and the systems they are a part of.

Addiction also known as the thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. It takes your money, kills dreams, and destroys relationships and you are tired of it. You want your life back by way of reuniting with loved ones, fulfilling your dreams and God-given purpose, and having enough money for shelter, food, clothing, and transportation. Substance use has taken me further than I wanted to go because I did not count the cost. Prayer upon request.
