Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Nicole Guessford. I am an LCSW with over 23 years experience in the field of mental health. I am passionate about helping to support others in finding their strengths to reach their goals and in providing a safe and empathic space to share their thoughts and feelings.

My approach to therapy

I create a safe, warm and welcoming therapeutic space and use a trauma focused, compassionate and strengths based approach in our sessions. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches that are unique to each person's needs while focusing on the "whole" person.

What you can expect from me

You will feel supported and "heard' during our sessions as we set out to create realistic short and long term goals to help you develop your full potential to living your most authentic life!
