Getting to know Nicole S Anderson
“When you choose yourself, you show the world what you truly deserve.” Choosing ourselves is not always met with ease, acceptance, or understanding; however, it does not come without reward! Welcome to the other side of life, where healing resides.
I am a self-proclaimed “hope dealer” with a passion for Black culture and mental health. I earned my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Northern Iowa and gained unparalleled experience working collaboratively with child welfare and juvenile justice systems for approximately eight years. My expertise includes, but is not limited to, abuse and neglect, post-traumatic stress, race-related trauma and discrimination, sexually harmful behaviors, mood and anxiety disorders, challenges with maintaining a positive self-image, and attachment disorders.
Driven by ethics, creativity, and humor, I take pride in creating a therapeutic space that resembles a conversation at your kitchen table. Therapy should be an experience that allows you the unique opportunity to regain focus on the part of yourself oftentimes lost in the noise of others. Life, responsibility, and finding matching socks is hard enough—therapy shouldn’t be, too. At least not all the time.
I am beyond grateful you chose me to guide you through your healing journey. In the words of Lauryn Hill, “How you gon’ win when you ain’t right within?!” Here’s to no longer having to wonder!
What should a new client know about working with you?
My ongoing mission is to create a space that takes the stigma away, especially for the African American community! Clients can expect to feel validated, supported, informed, and challenged (most healthily), lol. Therapy can mean so many things to so many people, but I always hope my clients leave knowing and trusting themselves a little more than before. I do assign homework because the real work takes place outside of sessions, but I love chances to great creative and create assignments that are engaging and tailored to the client's interests, hobbies, and personality!

Nicole has truly been the highlight of this year. She truly listens to me and I love that we share so many laughs and have good conversation. She gives me homework that has truly aided in my self-awareness, and she isn’t afraid to call out things that she notices. I look forward to seeing her every week and I’m so grateful that I finally found the therapist that I was searching for. She is my favorite!
