Nicole Ambrasas

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience working across all levels of care, supporting individuals struggling with addiction, relapse prevention, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. My approach is strength-based, empowering, and humanistic, helping clients recognize their resilience while building practical tools for growth and healing. I believe therapy works best when there is a genuine therapeutic alliance built on trust, compassion, and authenticity. I also believe humor can be an important part of the healing process, creating space for connection, self-awareness, and hope even during difficult times.

My therapeutic style is collaborative, compassionate, and empowering, creating a space where clients feel supported while working toward meaningful change. I specialize in addiction, relapse prevention, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and life transitions. I incorporate CBT, DBT, ACT, and Narrative Therapy techniques to help clients build insight, coping skills, and healthier patterns. I also believe humor, authenticity, and compassion are important parts of a strong therapeutic relationship and the healing process.

Clients can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where they can feel comfortable sharing at their own pace. During the first session, we will complete an intake, discuss what brings you to therapy, and explore the goals you would like to work toward. Together, we will begin identifying patterns, strengths, and areas for growth while creating a plan that feels realistic and meaningful to you. My goal is to help clients feel heard, understood, and empowered from the very beginning of the therapeutic process.
