I'm a therapist based in the Coachella Valley with a broad scope. I work with individuals, couples, families, and children navigating some of life's most difficult terrain: trauma and PTSD, anxiety and depression, substance use and addiction, family conflict, grief, anger, and the particular pressures that come with being a man in a culture that rarely teaches men how to ask for help.
I offer both in-person sessions in the valley and telehealth appointments throughout California. My approach is direct but never harsh, structured but never rigid. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy, I meet you where you actually are.
I am a second-generation Mexican American, bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist with over 14 years of experience in behavioral health. I founded CV Therapy with a commitment to expanding access to compassionate, culturally responsive mental health care within in my community and beyond. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting challenges, chronic illness, trauma, emotional abuse, and compassion fatigue, creating a supportive space where clients can feel heard, understood, and empowered.
Hi, I’m Nicole. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, empathetic, client centered care. I am mindful that this journey can be challenging. My passion is to create a safe environment where clients can feel heard and understood. I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey.
Life can feel heavy sometimes, and you don't have to sort through everything on your own. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, stress, burnout, or a season of change, therapy can be a place to slow down and make sense of what's been coming up for you.
I work with adults who want support feeling more balance, more connected to themselves, and better able to manage the challenges in front of them. I also support women through pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, and other meaningful life transitions.
My goal is to create a space that feels comfortable, supportive, and real. We'll talk through what's been difficult, identify what may be keeping you stuck, and work together toward changes that feel manageable and meaningful in your everyday life.
I have a masters degree in clinical psychology. I’ve been performing therapy for over 25 years. My specialties include anger, management and alcohol, dependence, chemical dependency, relationship issues and transgender.
The focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. I help individuals focus on the Solution.
Respect, understanding, and compassion are balanced with training and experience that will facilitate the most healing process from start to finish. We all face challenges, and have unexpected life events that have the capacity to set us back. However, 25 years of experience working with children and adolescents, couples in crisis, men, and those with addictions has prepared me to be uniquely qualified to help you on a new journey..

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Palm Springs
Searching for therapists in Palm Springs starts with finding the right fit for what you want to address. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or life transitions. As you compare Palm Springs therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match your needs. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or mindfulness-based therapy, and what a first session may include.
Palm Springs has a smaller local therapy market than larger California cities, so the right therapist in Palm Springs, CA may offer in-person sessions, virtual appointments, or both. Virtual care can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in California. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and scheduling fit.
Therapy in Palm Springs can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists in Palm Springs who match your preferences and offer clear availability, so you can review bios, compare options, and book directly when you’re ready. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage available in Palm Springs.
