Getting to know Karyn Nicolai

Hi there, I'm Karyn! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Nursing background. Together, we will explore strategies and techniques to assist you on your journey to self-discovery and well-being. I will give you the “tools,” but your commitment to doing the hard “work” will yield the results YOU want to achieve. My approach I follow a Humanistic Therapy approach and believe in the mind-body connection—that our chemistry and biology impact our moods, emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and environment. I utilize Solution Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques adapted to your individual needs. I encourage self-care, journaling, worksheets, and will give homework assignments periodically. My focus I support people navigating Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, PTSD, Grief and Loss, Self-Worth, Eating Disorders, Couples, and LGBTQ+ Issues. My communication style I am a free-spirited individual with 64 years of life experience. I am laid back and non-judgmental, believing we are all trying to find peace within our lives. I am told I am supportive and approachable with my therapeutic style. My journey to mental healthcare I received my first Master’s in Counseling in 2008 from Monmouth University, NJ, and my second Master’s in Education and Counseling at the University of Lynchburg in 2015. I have held an active Nursing license since 1995 and am pursuing a Doctorate in International Psychology. I have experience working with varied populations from children to the elderly. Born and bred in New Jersey, I had struggles as a youth with little support, which propelled me to work in nursing and counseling. My goals for you Identify your values to understand what is most important and help align your goals with your core beliefs and desires. Set specific goals focused on the outcomes you want to achieve.
