Getting to know Joyce Nicholson

Hi there, I'm Joyce! I provide a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where you can feel heard, build insight, and develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you. My focus I use a person centered approach tailored to the individual to help individuals find peace within themselves and joy in their emotions. I have a background working with people experiencing psychosis, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. I believe that there is no such thing as “normal” as we all have our own path to walk. My approach My approach to therapy is person-centered, collaborative, and grounded in empathy and respect. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, identify your strengths, and work at your own pace. My communication style I am an empathetic therapist. I listen to what you say, as well as what you are not saying. I work with you and will be your biggest cheerleader through this process, helping you find your inner strength. My journey to mental healthcare I have always wanted to be in a helper role and found that I am a gifted listener. After a career in background investigations, I decided to pursue my dream to become a therapist. I enjoy helping clients to see their potential and become the best version of themselves. My goals for you I am collaborative therapist. I can provide guidance, but you are the most knowledgeable person about yourself. We will work together to reach your goals. Our first session Our first session will be us getting to know each other. We will work collaboratively on your goals, breaking them down into smaller steps to help see the path to achieving your dreams.
