I believe that life is a journey best travelled with compassionate support to navigate through overwhelming feelings, manage stress, and also to celebrate accomplishments along the way. Exploring our thoughts and emotions serve as a guide to regain a sense of control and helps us to make sense of our world.

Hi, during this journey, we will work as a team to reach obtainable goals. My goal is to listen, support, encourage and empower. I look forward to working with you!!!!

It takes courage to seek help. Thank you for taking that step.

My name is Nikola Taylor, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina. I specialize in grief and loss counseling, which can take many forms—the loss of a loved one, a breakup, a move, job loss, estrangement, loss of independence, or even the grief of an unrealized dream. Whether your loss is recent or something you’ve carried for years, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

My approach is collaborative, curious, and free of judgment. I see my clients as experts in their own lives and work to identify strengths while finding creative ways to bring comfort and clarity. I believe in the healing power of deep listening, strong peer support, and radical self-acceptance. My therapeutic style incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and psychodynamic principles to help clients make meaning of their experiences. I also have specialized training in Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD).

I am honored to work with a diverse range of clients and deeply respect different cultures, gender identities, and spiritual perspectives. Clients often tell me they appreciate my ability to sit with them in deep pain, holding space for feelings of guilt, regret, despair, and longing. Together, we work toward self-compassion and healing.

With both professional hospice experience and personal experience with grief, I understand the complexity of loss. I would be honored to support you on your unique journey. Please reach out for a free phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
