Nicholas Kolos

Hello my name is Nicholas Kolos. I am a licensed mental health counselor and a licensed marriage and family therapist. I love my profession and look forward to helping my clients achieve their individual goals. I get excited when I see clients with unrealized potential and then help them become the best version of themselves! I love to help those who are struggling in their personal or work relationships learn how to better communicate their needs and improve the quality of those relationships! I tailor my treatment plans to best help each individual case achieve success!

Strengths My biggest strengths include helping clients adapt a more positive mindset, learning how to communicate more efficiently in their relationships, teaching practical coping mechanisms to deal with distress, and life coaching skills in specific situations. I work with both men and women ages 13-100! l have had success with those from both the heterosexual and LGBTQ community!

I love working with clients who are struggling with their relationships whether it be marriages, family or friends.

Clients who feel stuck, unfulfilled, or unhappy are welcome to work with me as helping people achieve a happy and fulfilling life makes me proud of what I do.

Treatment methods Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) I help clients learn to change their thought process and behavorial patterms to achieve a much higher quality of life. Helping people realize their potential is what I am passionate about!

Gottman method I incorporate Gottman method to help clients improve the overall quality of their relationships. Teaching clients how to overcome the roadblocks they have with communication with their partners is something I excel at. Overcoming infidelity and reigniting the spark is people's relationships is also common with my practice.

I also incorporate ACT, EFT, and Positive Psychology

First session The first session is about you and I getting to know each other. I will give you a sense of how I operate and we will spend time building rapport. Empircal evidence shows that the strength of the therapeutic relationship is the most indicitive element of success in treatement, so with that being said, I want to get know you as a human being. I will ask certain questions to help us build a treatment plan as well so we can get into the techniques I will teach you for long term sucess!
