Grief counselors and therapists in Wilmington, DE

Hi, I’m Nicole, a licensed clinical social worker offering telehealth therapy to adults in AZ, DE, IL, PA, TX, and VA through my practice, Bicoastal Counseling & Consultation. I have over a decade of experience working in mental health, schools, and nonprofit settings. I specialize in supporting adults dealing with anxiety, life transitions, burnout, and relationship challenges. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real-life experience.

My name is Mia Dorman and I am a Therapist/ Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that if you do the work on yourself you can build the resiliency to live the life that you desire. I am licensed in Delaware Pennsylvania and Maryland. My philosophy is that I live to RESTORE HOPE in people especially my clients. The word HOPE is filled with having the expectation of finding out what you want out of life or of bringing back what has inspired you to achieve your goals in the past. In life, people can deal with many experiences that can make life difficult. I would like to help you learn how to cope with the ups and downs of life. Through the use of my knowledge and training, I specialize in helping clients overcome depression, seasonal issues, bipolar disorder and anxiety/social anxiety, I have the tools to work with those clients who are experiencing grief and loss. I do not have the expertise to work with clients who have ADHD and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I focus on doing therapy through telehealth. I work with clients who are 18 years and above. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient settings. I have worked at schools, hospitals, small agencies and large agencies. I have been in the field for over 20 years and I love working with clients.

I believe that healing happens best in a space that feels both professional and human. With over a decade of experience supporting vulnerable children, families, and adults, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people navigate their most challenging seasons—specializing in substance use recovery and child and adolescent mental health.

My background is rooted in a BA in Psychology from the University of Delaware and an MSW from West Chester University. While my training prepared me to navigate complex medical and educational systems like school IEP/504 meetings, disciplinary boards, hospital teams, and the foster care system, my real-world experience has taught me that every individual and family needs a unique, compassionate approach.

I’m a firm believer that the world needs more laughter, and that therapy doesn't always have to feel heavy. When I’m not in the office, I’m usually painting or glued to a good book. I believe that therapy, much like art, is a process of creation and discovery, and I’d be honored to walk that path with you.

I have extensive experience working with complex trauma, attachment issues, family, and spiritually and religiously-based trauma.

I have over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy across a wide range of settings, including acute and non-acute mental health, residential treatment, and outpatient care. Throughout my career, I've worked with adults, adolescents, individuals, and couples facing everything from everyday life stressors to more complex emotional and psychological challenges.

While I work with a broad range of concerns, I have particular interests in relationship counseling using the Gottman Method, chronic pain utilizing Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), addiction, borderline personality disorder using DBT, and anxiety-related disorders. I also frequently help clients navigate life transitions, relationship difficulties, parenting, work stress, panic, and general emotional well-being.

One thing that deeply shapes my work is a genuine curiosity about the human condition. I believe every person's story makes sense when we take the time to understand it. Rather than viewing people through the lens of a diagnosis alone, I strive to understand the experiences, relationships, beliefs, and circumstances that have shaped who they are. I see therapy as a collaborative process of exploration, insight, and meaningful change.

Are you looking for an experienced mental health professional who listens to you carefully and with respect? Are you wanting a therapist who is honest with you, takes your goals seriously and wants to make sure you are receiving the support you want and deserve? If so, I may be a good fit for you.

My clients should know that I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who values compassion, respect, and collaboration. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported. I recognize that each person’s experiences, strengths, and challenges are unique, and I honor the courage it takes to seek mental health care. My goal is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship and to meet clients where they are in their journey.
