Deborah Nichols M.S. LPC, NCC

Being a therapist doesn’t mean that we get to forego life’s trials and tribulations.

​

The reason why I love what I do?

​

I’ve been there.

​

I pride myself in creating an environment in which my clients can gain insight, reconnect with their true self, and align their lives with their priorities, values and goals.

​

While my training does allow me to work with a variety of mental health needs, I specialize in working with women and individuals suffering from trauma.

​

My approach to counseling is collaborative as I see myself as a support along your personal journey. I find great value in meditation and mindfulness practice as well as include EMDR in my work.
