Getting to know Nicole O'Brien

Hi there, I'm Nicole! My name is Nicole O'Brien, and I am a clinical social worker licensed in the state of Maine. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of New England. In my practice, I aim to meet you where you are and help support you in navigating life's challenges. I provide a compassionate approach that enables you to gain skills in addressing past trauma, anxiety, depression, and other life stressors. **My approach** I use a variety of evidence-based practices uniquely tailored to your needs. My approach focuses on attachment theory and the therapeutic relationship, using a psychodynamic lens to explore past and present connections to challenges. **My focus** I often work with clients struggling with major and minor life stressors who experience depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma. **My communication style** I aim to create a safe and compassionate space to support you in self-reflection. **My journey to mental healthcare** I've been lucky to have several mentors in the field of social work and was drawn to the profession out of a desire to help make a difference in people's lives. I enjoy supporting people in making changes in their lives and offering hope during difficult times. **My goals for you** I enjoy creating collaborative goals based on clients' individual needs that are client-centered and driven. **My first session with you** Clients should expect to begin building the therapeutic relationship in a safe space and will be encouraged to explore treatment goals, outcomes, and relief from symptoms with my support.
