Getting to know Dr. Nicole Maronde

I support individuals navigating life's complexities-setting boundaries with family or work, building a life that honors both ambition and connection, and making space for joy. I work with neurodivergent clients to harness their strengths in relationships, school, and the workplace. I also hold space for grief in all its forms-loss of a loved one, a role, or a sense of self-knowing there's no shortcut, only the path through. I don't have all the answers (no matter what you're facing), but I believe you do-and I'm here to help you find them through deep listening, reflection, a dose of humor, and a steady focus on your strengths. I earned my Doctor of Social Work and Master's in Clinical Social Work from Aurora University, and my Bachelor's degree from Northern Illinois University, which have equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support you on your journey.

View 4 Photos I work with individuals, parents, and couples navigating neurodivergence, grief, family boundaries, and the big questions about love, work, and purpose. Using existential therapy, ACT, and humor (sometimes it's so bad, you have to laugh), I offer a warm, supportive space to explore what matters most and build more meaning in your life. Whatever you’re carrying—grief, overwhelm, questions about who you are or where you're going—you don’t have to sort through it alone. Therapy can be a space to feel seen, supported, and even laugh a little along the way. If you’re ready to explore, grow, or just breathe easier.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In your first session with me, you can expect it to be a time for us to get to know each other. It’s important for both of us to see if I’m a good fit for you, and if my approach feels like it aligns with your needs. Think of it as a "vibe check"—you’ll have the chance to ask me questions about anything you want, and I’ll do the same to understand your goals and challenges. This is about building trust and ensuring we’re on the same page moving forward.
