Getting to know Nicole Mendicino

I commend you for taking the first step towards achieving your goals! As a therapist, I believe it is never too late for personal growth. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and earned my Master of Social Work from New York University. My work includes treatments that are evidence-based and backed by research. Some of these treatments include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). You might find yourself feeling defeated, overwhelmed, and triggered by past experiences. Together, we will explore your overwhelming thoughts, hopelessness, and traumas. We will work as a team to calm your racing mind, regulate your body, and improve your overall mood.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My clients describe me as someone who truly cares about what they have to say. I will remember the things we discuss and approach you and your story with compassion and empathy. I place importance on educating my clients, teaching them coping skills, and strengthening our therapeutic relationship.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I maintain an eclectic treatment approach. This means that I have training in various therapeutic interventions and use the most effective treatment(s) for each person. I understand that each of us is unique and what is useful for one person might not be for another. Each of my clients is viewed as an individual and we can explore which treatments might work best for you. I look forward to meeting and joining you on your mental health journey!
