“I have seen several therapists but I have just not been able to connect with them. I connected with Nicole from my first session. Her compassion is genuine and her sense of humor helps me feel more comfortable. She sets a relaxed atmosphere where it doesn't feel like you’re talking with a therapist, she feels more like a friend. She is very knowledgable about all aspects of therapy and helps set goals. I recommend her to anyone that hasn’t been able to find the right fit in a therapist.”

Getting to know Nicole Tedesco

Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile. Reaching out for professional support is a sign of self-awareness and readiness for change. I understand that finding your first therapist or a new therapist can be a bit nerve-wracking. I am not a ‘One Size Fits All’ type of therapist. It is not my role to pass judgment or tell you how to live your life. Instead, I assist you in identifying your strengths and targeting your goals. Together, we will develop the skills and knowledge to help you manage life’s stressors. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed in your daily life, struggling to regulate emotions, experiencing conflict in relationships, suffering a loss, or facing general life changes. Many people also deal with chronic health issues that involve both physical and emotional symptoms. As an LCSW, educator, and qualified supervisor with over 10 years of experience, I have helped individuals find happiness and peace. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Saint Leo University. I offer an individualized and collaborative approach to assist you in managing maladaptive behaviors, depression, anxiety, somatic symptoms, low self-image, or grief—all within a comfortable and convenient virtual environment. I work with individuals of all ages, races, cultural backgrounds, and sexual orientations. I treat anxiety, adjustment disorders, depression, eating disorders, emotional and family conflicts, grief and loss, professional dilemmas, PTSD, and more. I also specialize in coping with pain, fatigue, insomnia, and chronic illnesses including chronic fatigue, autoimmune disease, and fibromyalgia. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey to inner peace and well-being!

What should a new client know about working with you?

Knowledge, coping skills, problem solving skills, meaningful communication, and a higher level of self awareness.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

She was amazing, very nice but direct. She is a great listener and very understanding but also very clear on her words and explanations. Would highly recommend. Ive been debating on going back to therapy for a while and I’m really glad I found her.

Nicole is an incredible listener. She is realistic, heartfelt, and compassionate. She continues to help me each week to grow through my depression and anxiety. I am grateful to have her on my side as I navigate creating a young family, solving personal issues, and fighting chronic pain. I highly recommend her and cannot say enough awesome things about her as a therapist.
Dr.Tedesco nonsense straightforward personality is the best thing ever she will give it to you straight which is exactly what i think you should receive from a therapist.
Great therapist! I have only had one session with Dr. Tedesco so far but she is very kind, patient and understanding. I was at my wits end and started to believe I would never find the right therapist (3rd times the charm I guess!), but ! feel very relieved now and I think that she is a great fit for the needs I am trying to address.

Nicole is an amazing listener and will now be my continued care for therapy! I had a great experience and I’m happy to have found her and gotten in within a weeks time. It is very relieving to work with someone as well prepared and who has a clear plan of action as far as my care goes.

When the connection was not working, she was so understanding in trying to help me solve the technical problem and didn't hesitate to set up an appointment later on in the day because I really wanted to start therapy.

An excellent first session with a gifted therapist. Feel very lucky to have found her. Looking forward to working with her on a couple of different items.
