Getting to know Nicole Guessford

UpLift Behavioral Health providers do not issue prescriptions for substances controlled by any federal or state agency or other drugs that may be harmful because of their potential for abuse. UpLift Behavioral Health reserves the right to limit the types of medications that may be prescribed by its doctors and nurse practitioners. All prescriptions furnished by UpLift Behavioral Health care providers are issued in accordance with applicable federal and state law as well as UpLift Behavioral Health policy. I believe in treating the ?whole? person and include modalities to help support the mental, emotional, and physical parts to bring balance and healing into their life. I have a special interest in trauma, anxiety, depression, behavior issues in children, domestic violence, and women's issues. I believe that healing comes through creating a safe, empathic, and nurturing space to talk about and express feelings. Utilizing a variety of techniques and interventions tailored to a client's needs, I am trauma-focused, strengths-based, and solution-focused. I believe in helping my clients recognize and celebrate their strengths to improve their mindset and everyday life. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Bryn Mawr College, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide compassionate and effective care.
