ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Scottsdale, AZ

Taking the first step toward better mental health is an act of courage, and I am here to support you every step of the way. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I am committed to providing compassionate, personalized care that honors your unique story, background, and lived experiences.

My approach is collaborative and patient-centered. I take the time to truly understand who you are — your strengths, your challenges, and your goals — so that together we can build a care plan that is meaningful and effective for your life. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of good outcomes, and I am dedicated to creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely heard.

I earned my degree in psychology, and a gap year with Jesuit Volunteer Corps in a social justice setting led me to social work. I use a systems approach, meaning I look at the personal, family, and life factors affecting your well-being. My background in foster care, crisis work, community-based care, and therapy gives me a collaborative, well-rounded perspective.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona and Wyoming with a specialization in OCD, anxiety disorders, and maternal mental health. I received a MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University.

I specialize in addiction, ADHD and depression for all ages. Listening to clients and working together to find the right approach to their situation. I am a very goal oriented person that uses my knowledge and experience to create a treatment plan that motivates and encourages my clients on their mental health journey.

I am a Arizona Board Certified Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has been working in the Mental Health field for the past 8 years. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology at Arizona State University and my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Grand Canyon University. I also hold a post-graduate certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have been providing individual counseling for the past 4 years. I am passionate about helping others heal through past trauma.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy traveling and dance—I'm part of a dance team and love exploring new places whenever I can :)

Hi, I’m Nichole, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona, dedicated to helping individuals navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and other issues. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported. My practice is LGBTQIA affirming, and I strive to create an inclusive environment where all identities are respected. Together, we’ll work toward healing, growth, and building the life you deserve.

I believe that we all have the capacity for healing within ourselves. I work with clients of all ages. My goal is to instill hope and healing for clients presenting with concerns related to post-traumatic stress, attachment, anxiety, grief/loss, depression, disruptive behaviors, social skills, parenting, and/or relational distress.

Many adults come to therapy wondering, "What's wrong with me?" I believe a more helpful question is, "What has shaped my experience, and what makes sense about the way I think, feel, and respond?" Lasting change begins with understanding yourself—not fixing yourself.

I have a special passion for working with neurodivergent adults, including those with ADHD, autism, and AuDHD, as well as adults navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Whether you've spent years masking, feeling misunderstood, or believing you simply needed to "try harder," therapy can be a place to better understand yourself with curiosity and compassion instead of self-criticism.

I earned my Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University and bring over 10 years of clinical experience supporting adults with a wide range of mental health challenges, including serious mental illness (SMI), trauma, anxiety, and depression. These experiences have strengthened my belief that healing happens in relationships where people feel genuinely seen, respected, and accepted without judgment.

My goal is to help you understand how your mind, emotions, nervous system, and experiences shape the way you move through the world so we can build practical strategies that fit your life—not someone else's expectations. I believe therapy isn't about becoming a different person; it's about understanding yourself more deeply so you can live more authentically, navigate life's challenges with greater confidence, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.

Binge Eating Disorder & emotional eating is a cause close to my heart both professionally and personally. The adults I work with are cycle breakers but their relationship with food keeps them feeling burnt out when they want to feel self acceptance and open to new experiences.
