“Nicole completely changed my life. The work we’ve done together helped me both discover who I am and grow closer to the person I want to be. She has consistently shown me deep compassion and care that considers my cultural issues in a way that has been essential to providing me realistic and informed support. Her background in social work gives her a grounded understanding which acknowledges the way socioeconomic factors affect therapeutic care and wellbeing, which I have found to often be a blind spot in other therapists. Her CBT technique and calm, non-judgmental demeanor has helped me learn how to better manage and communicate my emotions. Her expertise in trauma has been essential to me in understanding and unraveling self-destructive cycles. She’s funny, generous, accommodating, and understanding. I owe so much of the peace and joy I’ve experienced in my life to her and the work we’ve done together. I couldn't recommend a professional any more highly than Nicole.”

“I was working with Nicole during a very challenging time in my life. She was always kind and compassionate and full of solutions to each and every concern I had. Solution driven is an understatement! She created a highly professional and safe environment, but also bought comfort in a personal and relatable way. She was a great listener and she asked the right questions and provided relevant feedback. I highly recommend Nicole Sanchez to anyone in need of mental health wellness and guidance.”

Getting to know Nicole Williams-Sanchez

Welcome! I'm so glad that you're taking a moment to look into therapy, whether it's for yourself or someone else you care about. I hold a Master's in Clinical Social Work from Columbia University and work with clients to create or rebuild a sense of safety, identify resources to help them move forward, and recognize and champion their own strength and resilience.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My work is solution driven and collaborative. With over 15 years of experience, I bring the knowledge, tools, and support to help you build the space you need to examine what has been getting in your way. When you feel supported, you can tap into your courage to take the steps necessary to get you on the path that works for you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My ultimate goal is that you reach yours. We'll work together to keep your long-term goals in mind while we address the day-to-day issues that are weighing on you. I structure my sessions around what you bring to the table that day. I am well aware that trust is earned, so I'll never press you to speak on anything you're not willing or ready to share.

Nicole offered wonderful service as a therapist. It was clear she has had a wide range of experience, and approaches her work with a clear-eyed, compassionate manner. I couldn’t recommend working with her more, she really helped me bounce back out of some tough times and stabilize my situation. Fantastic, professional, kind therapist!
I've been working with Nicole for most of the last five years. She is a kind, attentive, supportive and engaging therapist. Working with her has helped me wade through the issues of my life and not allow them to consume me. We discuss practical applications to help with anxieties and feelings of overwhelm. She helps make things clearer, more lucid, and thus easier to understand and manage. She is insightful and personable. She's helped me understand a lot about myself and myself in the world. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone.
