Favorite Aspect of Your Job
My favorite part of my job is to be able to emotionally support people. I became a therapist because I’ve experienced first-hand the importance of a good support network.
Now, I dedicate my life's work to being able to support others through their difficult moments. I strive to create an environment where people feel safe, supported and cared for while working through whatever they may be experiencing.
A little more information about Nicole
I am the owner of STAR Counseling Services and I love that my business allows me to be able to serve people in a way that is authentic. I have been working in the counseling field for over a decade and I have helped many people through a variety of life's problems and struggles. I am passionate about being able to support people in need and help them through whatever difficulties they may be experiencing in their life.
I understand the importance of having a strong support system and as a result I strive to make the therapeutic process as supportive as possible. However, this doesn’t mean we will shy away from doing the hard work.
My therapeutic style is eclectic so we will use a variety of treatment theories and modalities to be able to individualize the work to your needs. I have a casual, fun, direct and blunt personality and this is carried over into my therapeutic style. I often curse in session, incorporate sarcasm (when appropriate) and use humor as part of the therapeutic process.
Overall, I genuinely care about the work I do as well as the people I serve. I am looking forward to helping you create your ideal life.
