Getting to know Nicole Szetela

Hi there, I'm Nicole! My name is Nicole Szetela, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California (LMFT 143859). I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliant International University. My clients describe me as easygoing and a great listener who uses empathy and compassion, meeting them where they are. I have extensive experience working with preteens, teens, and adults, helping with anxiety, OCD, trauma, depression, and life stressors. My approach I take a very client-centered approach. I often use CBT, DBT, ERP, Narrative, and Solution-Focused techniques to help people achieve their goals. I tailor my methods to each client's unique needs because everyone is different. My focus I have worked with many issues, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, BPD, grief, trauma, life changes, and relationship challenges. I've also supported a wide range of demographics. My communication style I am easygoing and relatable. I believe in respecting clients and building strong therapeutic relationships to foster trust. I strive to match my clients' energy and create a comfortable space where they feel heard. My journey to mental healthcare Several experiences led me to become a therapist. I worked as a residential substitute at an elementary school and enjoyed teaching and working with kids but wanted to help on a deeper level. I also wanted to be the person I didn't have growing up-to help people feel heard rather than judged or ignored. Working with people motivates me, especially when clients reach breakthroughs and when I can help break down mental health stereotypes. My goals for you Goal setting begins in the evaluation session and evolves as we progress. I encourage clients to lead on what they want to work on and adjust goals as needed. My first session with you The first session is an evaluation to ensure we're a good fit. It's about starting a trusting therapeutic relationship.
