Nicole Troelstrup

My passion is helping individuals develop practical tools to manage stress, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Certified First Responder Counselor with more than 10 years of experience providing individual and group therapy to diverse client populations. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals navigating anxiety, disordered eating, life transitions, and the challenges of balancing personal and professional responsibilities. Over the past five years, I have specialized in supporting first responders and others working in high-demand, high-stress environments.

My therapy style is direct, supportive, solution-focused, and affirming. I believe therapy should feel like a genuine conversation; one where you can explore patterns, gain insight, and develop practical strategies to help you move forward with confidence. Together, we'll identify what's getting in the way, build on your strengths, and work toward the goals that matter most to you.

In our first session, you can expect a relaxed, supportive conversation where we begin getting to know each other and exploring what brought you to therapy. There is no pressure to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as you are and talk openly about what's been weighing on you.

We'll discuss your current concerns, relevant experiences, and what you hope to gain from therapy. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, burned out, stuck, anxious, or simply struggling to keep up with life's demands, we'll work together to identify your goals and begin developing a path forward. By the end of our session, you'll have a better understanding of how we can work together, and we'll start building practical strategies to help you feel more supported, balanced, and resilient.
