Getting to know Michelle Nicolas
My therapeutic approach is to work with my clients to create a space that is comfortable and safe, while still challenging them to make the changes they are looking for. I meet you where you are in your life. You are the expert of your own life, and we go at your pace. There is no judgment or expectation for you to talk or perform.
I provide evidence-based approaches that equip you with tools and skills to better manage life stressors. I have extensive experience working with adults on a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, family of origin issues, and work/life balance difficulties.
I have worked extensively with women coping with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, trauma, peer difficulties, and life transitions.
I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Therapy is a partnership, and my style is active, collaborative, and empowering. Together, we will identify challenges, gain insight, and work towards an improved well-being. My goal is for clients to leave our time together with greater clarity, confidence, and the desire and capability to live to their fullest potential.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
