all about nicoleia
With an empathy-first mindset, Nicoleia is able to meet her clients where they are at the time, and provide a welcoming environment for them to feel at ease with her. Nicoleia works to have each session feel like a natural conversation with a friend, to foster discussions that are open and productive. With a strong focus on making sure that clients feel comfortable, they are able to open up and share the hard things that they face, knowing that they’ll get ample support from Nicoleia on their journey.
Nicoleia’s therapeutic style is authentic and honest. She carefully listens to her clients to ensure that she really hears what is going on with them, before providing guidance. This allows for a meaningful back and forth where both her client and Nicoleia share their perspectives to help identify what is core to her clients, and what is important to address and adjust. As a therapist, Nicoleia works to facilitate an environment that supports clients in their growth, even in the face of challenges.
how she works

Nicoleia uses a strength-based and humanistic approach to help her clients feel empowered to make changes. This approach is uniquely tailored to each client, to provide them with the support and guidance that will facilitate change.

All of this is with the goal to help her clients be able to see and embrace their individual strengths, and feel ready to take on the world.
