Nicole Stern, Lcsw

Hi, I'm Nicole. I'm a Licensed Clinical Therapist, Guardian ad Litem, and Parenting Coordinator with experience working with individuals, couples, families, and children. I specialize in relationship challenges, codependency, narcissistic relationship dynamics, self-esteem, boundaries, and life transitions. My approach is warm, supportive, and direct. I believe meaningful change comes from greater self-awareness, honest conversations, and practical steps forward. I strive to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients can gain clarity, build confidence, and develop healthier patterns in their relationships and everyday lives.

My approach is warm, supportive, and direct. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard and understood, while also being challenged to recognize patterns that may be holding you back. I work collaboratively with individuals and couples to build self-awareness, strengthen communication, establish healthy boundaries, and create lasting change.

During our first session, my goal is to create a comfortable, supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and free to share your concerns without judgment. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your current challenges, and identify the goals you'd like to work toward. Together, we'll begin developing a plan that feels practical, personalized, and aligned with the changes you want to make.
