Getting to know Nicole Kriz
Hello, my name is Nicole Kriz. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Chapman University and a Bachelor's degree from San Francisco State University. I have experience working in both in-patient and out-patient settings and take a collaborative approach when working with my clients.
My approach
My goals are to create a safe and supportive environment for all my clients while they increase their level of self-understanding and self-awareness. I work collaboratively to help guide clients toward their desired goals and achieve sustainable change.
My focus
I have a passion for working with young and older adults, couples, and families to assist them in developing and utilizing the necessary coping skills to manage and thrive during difficult times, life transitions, and through needed change.
My communication style
Therapy should feel like a safe environment; therefore, I strive to create a comfortable rapport with my clients through tone and dialogue, providing empathy and validation while still encouraging change and growth.
My journey to therapy
I've always enjoyed listening and helping others from a young age, especially regarding relational dynamics. In undergrad, I explored psychology and human sexuality and further learned the importance of healthy relationships, communication, and a healthy sense of self. This passion led me to pursue becoming a therapist and working to help create change and provide support to others.
My goals for you
Upon meeting with new client(s), I identify what led them to therapy and then collaboratively create goals that are within their control.
My first session with you
The first session covers logistics around therapy, reviewing limits of confidentiality, answering assessment questions, and developing goals.
