About Nicole, LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, practicing in Connecticut. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Connecticut and after gaining professional experience in the corporate marketing world, I recognized a need to shift careers. This awareness led me to attend Fordham University to pursue my passion for helping others and desire to feel aligned and authentic in my work, where I earned my Master’s in Social Work.
I have experience supporting students’ social emotional needs within the school system, holding space for grieving clients through a bereavement group, and I have extensive experience providing psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, couples and families in an outpatient behavioral health clinic and private group therapy practice.
I am professionally affiliated with the National Association of Social Workers, and I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy through Fordham's Graduate School of Social Service.
I value the fit of the therapeutic relationship above all else, and I am passionate about empowering you to feel seen and heard. I recognize the importance of tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual. My work will always be collaborative in nature with a focus on identifying patterns that may no longer be serving you and helping you to honor and hone in on your own intuition, as I believe everyone possesses answers within themselves.
I aim to compassionately hold you accountable, and I always strive to approach my work with clients from a strengths-based, holistic lens that allows clients to explore themselves and life's many challenges, free of judgement, in order to heal and grow.
My integrative approach draws from a variety of evidence-based techniques to support the therapeutic process, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic and Relational Therapy. I also provide tangible tools and strategies, knowing that your work outside of the therapy session is just as if not more important than the work done together.
