About Nicole Lawrence

Hey there, I’m Nicole!

I believe everyone is worthy of support and resources so they can live their most fulfilling, abundant, and authentic lives. This is no small task, and I don’t buy that we’re meant to navigate life alone. This is where, I believe, therapy can be a beneficial source of support for all individuals when navigating life’s challenges, self-exploration and identity, interpersonal relationships, and making meaning of what can often feel like a black and white world.

Therapy can help individuals better connect with themselves and their inherent resources as well as explore new perspectives, ways of processing, and showing up in the world. I want to help you find the best path for yourself and remind you of your inherent value and worth so you can achieve holistic wellness.

Education:

I completed my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Southern New Hampshire University. Prior to my Master’s, I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Communications and Creative Writing, as I have always been drawn to people’s stories and lived experiences. I feel our unique life stories should be celebrated and honored, and that our story can help guide us back to ourselves when we feel lost and uncertain.

My Approach:

I believe in collaborating with clients to meet them where they are. To achieve this, I may utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities to best align with clients’ needs, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Relational Cultural Theory (RCT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) all while remaining Client-Centered, Culturally Affirming, and Trauma-Informed. I’m passionate about working with clients in a way that fosters creativity, individualized growth, prioritizes desired goals, and is rooted in compassion and connection. I fundamentally believe clients know themselves best, so we’ll work together to navigate the next best approaches for your healing, safety, and empowerment.

Hobbies:

In my free time, I enjoy being in nature and hiking, as well as playing with my two cats, Banjo and Mandolin! I have quite the sweet tooth and love to bake delicious gluten-free and dairy-free treats. I also love to practice yoga, go to local parks, and have solo dance parties!
