Let's be real, sometimes life gets in the way of living! There are just time when life is not always the way we want or thought it would be.
People keep saying that you are so strong, but you don't want to be strong and you definitely don’t feel strong. You know you have people around you that love you and also you feel alone. You want to believe that you’ll find yourself again. If you’re losing hope that you can manage all the things in your life, counseling can help!
Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I’m an EMDR certified, licensed professional counselor who believes real growth starts with curiosity, compassion, and a little bit of courage. Therapy with me is more than just managing symptoms—it’s about uncovering your strengths, celebrating progress, and building a life that feels balanced, resilient, and truly yours.
I take a warm, collaborative approach that gives you a safe space to explore patterns, process challenges, and build on what’s already working. Together, we’ll blend practical tools with deeper reflection to help you move through life’s struggles, find your balance, and create a life that feels good to live. My hope is that you leave each session feeling grounded, encouraged, and connected to what matters most.
I am committed and dedicated to serving my patients and community. I am an advocate for mental health, and I integrate innovative treatments in my practice.
Hi, I’m Nicole! I’m passionate about bringing a relatable and contemporary vibe to the mental health space. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, and my professional background includes work in psychiatric outpatient hospitals, public schools, and private practice.
I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults navigating the complexities of ADHD, Autism, PTSD, Anxiety, and OCD. My approach is holistic and comprehensive; I believe that while I provide the clinical tools, you remain the expert of your own life. I’m here to act as your partner in bridging the gap between your daily routine and your core values.
I work with adults, couples, and teens, helping people untangle challenges that often feel overwhelming, interconnected, or hard to name. I believe most struggles don’t exist in isolation—they affect our relationships, our emotions, and how we move through the world. My role is to truly get to know you, understand your story, and support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.
My background is both clinical and academic. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, along with graduate degrees in Philosophy and Sociology, and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Communications. I’m also a doctoral candidate in Educational Psychology. This combination allows me to look at your concerns through emotional, relational, and systemic lenses—not just symptom-focused ones.
I specialize in trauma work, relationship therapy, and working with preteens and teens—who are often misunderstood but incredibly important to support early. I’ve trained in EMDR, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), CBT, Art Therapy, and Conflict & Dispute Resolution. Above all, I value creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely supported.
- Enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, family and marriage populations.
- For past several years I have worked in both private and public school settings.
- Hold a certification in both Trauma and Christian Counseling.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Richardson, TX
Searching for therapists in Richardson starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to address. Reading bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that align with your preferences.
Richardson is close to Plano, Garland, and north Dallas, which can expand your options while local availability may still vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Some people prefer in-person therapy near home or work, while others choose virtual sessions for easier scheduling. When narrowing your search, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, free phone consultation options, and the details in each profile. Bios can give you a clearer sense of communication style, session structure, and what to expect before you book.
Therapy in Richardson can be a significant expense 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 booking. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, review availability, enter your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
