MEET NICK (he/him/his)

My approach to mental health counseling is multi-faceted. It is holistic in nature meaning I believe mental health issues need to be considered from a body, mind, spirit perspective. It is also eclectic in that I use aspects and components from several theories and therapies. The reason for my approach is I believe every person deserves to seen, heard, recognized, and acknowledged for the wonderfully unique individual they are.

What I have noticed about many of the clients that seem to find me is that they are seeking reassurance due to experiencing a type of cognitive dissonance where the reality they are experiencing is not matching the beliefs they had formed about the world earlier in their lives. This tends to result in patterns of second-guessing, low self-worth, and self-judgment which are limiting their ability to experience joy and satisfaction in life and consequently, they experience significant anxiety and depression.

Many of my clients are also adults who have gone through much of their life with little to no knowledge, understanding, or neurosensitive treatment of their neurodivergence. This also tends to result in a lack of self-confidence, self-worth and a considerable amount of self-judgment. Self-Judgment equates to a fear of not being enough; smart enough, good enough, fast enough, acceptable enough, loveable enough, etc.

Most of the work I find myself doing with my clients centers around the concepts of learning to Know-Self and Love-Self which help us to realize we are more than enough, and we are valuable, acceptable, loveable, and worthy of good things in our lives. I work with them to move from a fear-based mind to one of love and strength through validation and empowerment.
