“I absolutely loved having Nicole as my therapist & she is by far my favorite therapist I’ve ever had in my 14 years of therapy. She is dependable, caring, patient, helpful, wise, and calm. She made therapy feel like a breath of fresh air. She always made me feel seen, heard & appreciated. I often told her she had this magic touch to her that she could calm me down just by the sound of her voice. She reminded me a lot of my grandmother & mother in the ways in which she spoke to me, supported me & listened to me. Nicole always kept it real no matter what. However, she always did it with grace and I never felt ashamed for how I felt or how I expressed myself. She would always validate my feelings while still being able to provide me with the best solution to my problems. Nicole is truly a one of a kind therapist and has set the bar high when it comes to my future expectations with therapy. Nicole, thank you for being you & for showing me support when I needed it the most. You’re the best!”

Getting to know Nicole Theodore
It is normal when facing change to experience confusion, anger, and self-doubt. You may also be grappling with anxiety, depression, or feel like you don't recognize yourself. If you find yourself struggling during a complex transition, I am passionate about helping people uncover inner strength, clarity, and purpose amidst daunting turning points. Whether it’s wanting to feel seen during loss and illness, improving self-esteem, or enhancing relationships, I am here to walk alongside you when life feels chaotic. Guided by radical acceptance and curiosity, I believe therapy has the power to become a shared journey of self-discovery.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from New York University, which informs my compassionate and evidence-based approach. If you are seeking healthier ways to navigate whatever life is throwing at you, you do not have to do this work alone. It is my honor to guide people through exploring all aspects of their lives, addressing childhood wounds, transforming limiting beliefs, and strengthening communication and interpersonal skills. Please reach out for a free consultation.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Therapy with me is relational and collaborative, offering a nurturing space for you to exist and process free of judgement. I work with a range of issues, including grief and loss, illness, relationship issues, women’s health, career development, and young adult issues. Working with me means I will help you process your current experiences, relationships, and behavioral patterns, as well as the stories and narratives you hold about yourself to help you redefine your purpose and uncover stuck points. I am trained in grief and palliative care counseling, as well as ACT.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I am a process-based therapist who specializes in long-term talk psychotherapy. My clients drive their goals and needs in therapy and I tailor treatment to meet you where you are at. We will look at patterns and things that have happened to you in the past in order to inform the present and to help you gain greater understanding of yourself and your relationships. All of my work is geared toward helping you relate to yourself and your experiences differently, re-authoring narratives and beliefs around how you view yourself and relationships, and also importantly giving you a space 50 minutes a week to share what you need to share without any fear of judgment or shame.
As my training is grounded in the mind-body connection and supporting people and their physical health, I also often help my clients unpack health and wellness concerns as well and will refer them to ancillary services. Such as acupuncturists, physicians, psychiatrists, and physical therapists.

I felt Nicole’s guidance helped me to understand and work through my issues. She really listened and gave me great feedback.

Nicole is an attentive listener who responds thoughtfully. Usually, she intuitively understands if I need to hear empathy or validation, or if I need advice, but what sets her apart is the fact that she asks what I need if she’s unclear. In our time together, she has challenged me to consider my behaviors, helped me to make reasonable changes to my patterns and thought processes, and supported me - without any judgement, always.
