Hi, I’m Nicole! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor at Optimyze Counseling. I specialize in couples therapy, anxiety, stress, life transitions, adolescents, young adults, and perinatal and postpartum mental health. My approach is warm, collaborative, and strength-based, creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood.
Are you ready to go from surviving to thriving? I am a Holistic Mental Health Expert & Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapist with 20 years of experience. I offer scientific evidence-based, naturopathic treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma and other mental health issues. Together we will heal unresolved childhood emotional wounds, trauma, PTSD, Complex -PTSD & remove psychological blocks & barriers. Offering options in mindfulness skills training, meditation, EMDR and somatic treatment for nervous system regulation.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I believe that taking even small steps towards addressing your mental health can be life changing. Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. I have been working in the mental health field since 2014, Licensed since 2022. Currently my focus is addressing anxiety related symptoms for children ages 7 to adults, and ADHD related symptoms and behaviors for children ages 7 to adults.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Over the past 10 years I have worked as a Substance Abuse Counselor, Group Facilitator, Counseling families, Individuals, The Sheltered Homeless population, First Responders, and the geriatric population. I have also worked with children who are in the foster care system. I have experience in anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma/PTSD, Behavior issues, and other areas as well.
I am an experienced psychotherapist in private practice for 15 years. I provide couples, family and individual therapy. As a couples therapist, I see couples that have destructive unhealthy and ineffective commuication patterns. Their inability to communicate effectively will lead to further deterioration with unresolved conflicts in their relationship, I also work with individual's who experience Anxiety, and depression. Sometimes, we just don't know why you feel sad, depressed or out of sorts
I trained in medicine before I became a therapist, and it changed what I listen for. When a client tells me her chest tightens before every meeting, or that she can't stop thinking about a diagnosis, I take the physical side of that seriously.
I hold a PhD in health psychology and I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois and Florida. My published research is on post-traumatic growth in women. Since 2020 I've also taught graduate counseling and psychology as an adjunct professor.
I see adults dealing with trauma and complex trauma, chronic illness, health anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. I work with women through perinatal and postpartum struggles and through fertility challenges. I also see adolescents.
I speak English, Hindi, Arabic, and Urdu. If you're dealing with immigration, acculturation, or family expectations that don't translate easily, you won't have to explain that context to me first.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Lakeland
Finding postpartum therapists in Lakeland starts with looking for someone who has experience with concerns that can come up after birth, including postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some therapists may also list maternal mental health therapy, perinatal therapy, or postpartum support in their profiles. A certification such as PMH-C can be a helpful signal of specialized training. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match the support you want.
In a smaller city like Lakeland, local postpartum therapists may have limited in-person availability, so virtual care can expand your options. This can be especially practical when your schedule changes, infant care needs shift, or travel to an office is hard to plan. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, therapy style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how they describe their work with postpartum concerns and what a first session may involve.
Therapy in Lakeland 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 cost before you book. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists who may accept insurance, offer virtual or in-person care, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. You can compare profiles, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
