About Nicole

Their own words

Meet Nicole Note: Nicole is not currently accepting new clients. Please book with one of our other therapists. I help people like you understand the reasons for your suffering and create a roadmap for a more content and fulfilling life. I believe that a large part of the stigma surrounding mental health comes from a belief that mental health struggles and mental illness are a result of some sort of inherent flaw or inadequacy. I approach my work from the perspective that there is a logical reason (often many) for your struggle. There is a piece of the puzzle that makes your struggle (or your symptoms) make sense. If we can figure out what this is, we have a roadmap for moving forward. I have provided individual and group counselling services in private, school, and community settings. I love education and learning so I also regularly facilitate workshops focused on mental health and wellness and am an author and post-secondary instructor in the area of psychology. I recognize that no single approach is the right one for everyone, and have been trained in a range of evidence-based modalities, including Narrative, Constructivist, Cognitive Behavioural, Mindfulness-Based, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapies, as well as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Not sure what those names mean? Not to worry, I’m happy to explain. I also have a background in biological sciences, which helps me to integrate an understanding of the biological and neurological basis of mental health.

Therapist Match ConsultationNew patient

“Finding the right therapist is an important part of starting therapy. In this short meeting, you’ll connect with our Clinical Director to talk about what’s bringing you to therapy and what kind of support you’re looking for. Together, we’ll explore your preferences, goals, and any practical considerations to help match you with a therapist who’s the best fit for your needs. This is a collaborative, no-pressure conversation — a chance to ask questions, learn about our team, and take the first step toward the right therapeutic connection. There is no fee for this consultation.”
