Getting to know Nicole McCarthy

Hi there, I'm Nicole! We all reach emotional crossroads and often need guidance from a professional. I am warm and caring, providing a non-judgmental atmosphere while assertively offering feedback. My name is Nicole E. McCarthy, an LCSW therapist with a PMH-C certification and over twenty-six years of experience working with couples, families, and adults across the lifespan. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California. My approach I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. When working with families and couples, I incorporate family systems and marital counseling. My focus I work with adults 18 and older struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual abuse, mood disorders, occupational/work-related stress, grief, and family conflict. I am LGBT-friendly and have worked with individuals experiencing spiritual conflicts. I specialize in women's issues, including pregnancy, perinatal, infertility, and postpartum depression and anxiety disorders. I hold a PMH-C perinatal mental health certification through Postpartum Support International. My communication style I provide a warm, caring, non-judgmental atmosphere while assertively providing feedback. I use feedback-informed care by asking clients if the session was beneficial and how they plan to use the skills before our next meeting. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because after my father died when I was 13, a therapist made a radically positive difference in my life during a difficult time. He encouraged me to go away to college and focus on my education. I love seeing clients transform cognitive distortions and low self-esteem into self-belief.
