Hi, I am Linda. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have experience providing compassionate care to individuals who are experiencing situations that disrupt or dominate their daily lives. I am trauma-trained and I utilize counseling approaches that foster hope resulting in living a more satisfied and resilient life.

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with certification as a clinical mental health counselor (CCMHC). I have worked in a variety of mental health settings including inpatient and outpatient programs. I opened my private practice in 2017.

I have advanced training in CBT, IFS, Existential-Humanistic, and trauma-informed therapies. I have received certification in REBT from the Albert Ellis Institute.

Hello and welcome! While maintaining an eclectic approach, my purpose is to provide you with a collaborative partnership in which you control the direction of

therapy. I serve to provide a non-judgmental approach toward presenting issues and with the

collaborative effort help identify goals that would translate to facilitative action outside of the clinic

through various treatment options.

Being a therapist has consistently helped me find special compassion for those in need. I started my practice based on three core beliefs: growth, resilience, and empowerment. I believe that every person is worthy of success, happiness, and wellness. This often involves changing dysfunctional habits, reframing beliefs and the self and the world, and empowerment. All things are possible, but don't need to be accomplished alone!

Hi, I’m Nicole! Therapy with me is about real conversations, practical tools, and accountability. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I’m down-to-earth, supportive, and won’t let them slide. I bring a diverse background of both life and professional experience, allowing me to see multiple perspectives and help you navigate complex relationship dynamics.

My qualifications and competence in the area of Counseling are founded on my education, work experience, and additional training in areas relating to the field of counseling. I have over five (5) years’ experience providing services to a wide range of populations including adolescents, adults and couples in school, outpatient, nonprofit, and virtual settings. My specialties include providing counseling services to adults, adolescents, and families surrounding depression, anxiety, trauma, life changes, and emotional regulation.

I help women explore and define their dating identity while building the confidence to navigate relationships authentically. Through assertiveness and boundary-setting skills, I empower clients to communicate their needs clearly and confidently. I also provide psychoeducation on relationships of all kinds, helping clients better understand themselves and their connections with others.

I’m especially passionate about supporting and affirming clients with complex or multicultural identities. My favorite part of this work is helping clients strengthen their self-esteem so they can move through the world with greater confidence and self-acceptance. Whether we’re destigmatizing sexuality, challenging body image myths, or building a stronger sense of self, I love seeing clients thrive with pride in who they are and the knowledge to carry them forward.

I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from California University of Pennsylvania in 2020. Since then, I’ve worked with children and adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and some substance use, also at a psychiatrist hospital and with youth in the juvenile system. I’m a first-generation Nigerian American and the creative “black sheep” of my family. I bring empathy, authenticity, and individuality into my therapy practice, helping clients heal and grow.
