Getting to know Rachel Nicholson

Hey! I’m Rachel Nicholson, a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) and Psychotherapist, and I could not be more excited to work with you! I know what it feels like to be scared to take the first step; to go through the hard work in order to grow. Because of that, it makes me the therapist I am today—empathetic, understanding, and compassionate. These qualities are what I bring into our sessions to support you in becoming the best version of yourself. I want you to feel comfortable enough to share anything that comes to mind without any fear or judgment—knowing that we are in this together. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and my Bachelor’s degree from Michigan State University. I specialize in treating OCD, anxiety, and panic disorder by using exposure and response prevention, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. I encourage my clients to face their fears and challenge negative thinking—so that YOU are the one in charge, not your anxiety. We work to shift your thoughts and perception so that anxiety no longer runs your life.
