Nicole Wildeman

People come to me when they've been carrying something for a long time: a substance they keep trying to quit, a relationship dynamic that won't change no matter how hard they try, or an anger that costs them more than it should. I'm Nicole, a Licensed Professional Counselor with seven years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families in Michigan, and I believe the right support can shift what feels impossible to change on your own.

I specialize in depression and anxiety, life changes, substance use and addiction counseling, marriage and family therapy, and anger management. I also support clients working through anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, and life transitions, working with adolescents through seniors across a wide range of challenges. My goal is to help you recognize your own strengths, build the tools you need, and feel more in control of where your life is going.

My approach to therapy is integrative and solution focused, which means I draw from different therapeutic strategies to meet your individual needs while helping you identify practical steps toward your goals. I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, acceptance, and a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences. Together, we will explore the fears or obstacles that may be holding you back, develop helpful coping skills, and build on the strengths you already possess. I will support you with compassion and encouragement as you work toward meaningful, lasting growth.

In our first session, we will begin getting to know one another and discussing what brings you to therapy. We will talk about your current concerns, your experiences, and what you hope to accomplish through counseling. This is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and share what helps you feel comfortable and supported. Together, we will begin identifying goals and creating a plan that fits your needs. My hope is that you leave your first session feeling heard, respected, and encouraged about the steps ahead. I look forward to being of service and supporting you throughout the process.
