Nicole Booth

Hi! I’m Nicole. I have been a social worker since 2012 and have worked extensively in the mental health field before becoming a therapist. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, OCD, and attachment/relationship issues, specifically for women who find themselves overthinking, obsessing, and ruminating on the past. Replaying conversations, wondering what went wrong or asking yourself why you can't just 'move on' can be debilitating. Not directly dealing with how trauma gets wired into our brain can leave us feeling anxious, depressed and stuck, keeping us trapped in our own mind trying to make sense of what happened to us. Through new breakthrough therapy modalities that help reorganize painful memories, there is so much healing and relief ahead! I only know this because I have personally walked this path.

My approach is trauma-informed and attachment-focused, with an emphasis on helping women understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and nervous system responses. I help clients rewire their “stuck” painful memories with a blend of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) (similar to EMDR that can help you feel relief in just 1-4 sessions) and IFS (Internal Family Systems).

If you are struggling with OCD, intrusive thoughts or ruminative thinking patterns where you feel held hostage to your thoughts, I use a combination of psychoeducation and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) to help you start to take back all the time lost to mental reviewing and compulsions. We address your constant 'what ifs' that feel exhausting or sometimes even scary, and I teach you how to coexist with your thoughts without constantly analyzing them on repeat so you can feel more stable and present in your day to day life. If you are tired of feeling stuck in your head and ready to understand what is happening and how to move forward, I'd love to help.

My intake session includes taking client history, education about the type of therapy I provide, and creating a treatment plan to best fit the goals you want to work towards together. If we do not vibe, please know you cannot hurt my feelings! Let me know that you might need something different and I’m more than happy to refer you to another therapist that would better fit your needs. The most important thing in therapy is that you feel safe and comfortable enough to be witnessed. Feel free to schedule a phone call to see if I'd be the right fit for you :)

*If you do not see a time that works for you, please let me know on our phonecall and I will let you know of any extra availability!
