Simone Nickerson

Hello,

My name is Simone Nickerson, LPC. A little over a decade ago, my life would not have led to down the path of helping others, as I did not know how to truly help myself through certain experiences. With the support of my loved ones and other impactful individuals, I was given another chance at life. I then worked to provide the same support to others as I received. I started this journey by obtaining my MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, gaining the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively support others. My education led me to to gain a career in my local mental health authority at a community mental health center. With the experience gained from my time at my place of employment, I have worked with military service members and their families, the adult mental health population, and most recently, the justice involved population, where I provide counseling services and skills training with a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach. As I continue to grow upon my professional development, I strive to serve those in need and provide a safe space to be themselves. I look forward to supporting you along your journey of healing!

I take a client-focused approach that places the client's immediate identified needs at the forefront of each session to better support them in navigating their daily challenges.

The first session is solely about the client's comfortability and willingness to proceed forward in building a therapeutic working alliance. I want the client to feel comfortable working with me on their healing journey, so it is important to build an authentic and trusting counselor-client relationship from the first session and moving forward.
