Getting to know Teresa Nichols

I have been providing therapy as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over twenty years. My experience includes providing help with grief, substance abuse, and behavioral counseling. I have been a provider in a variety of settings that include residential facilities, hospital clinics, and correctional institutions. My approach I assist you in identifying thoughts, behaviors, and feelings through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). My approach is practical, collaborative, and supportive. I practice empathetic listening and help you reflect on your symptoms/stressors. If you are expressing a challenging or hurtful time, I will be patient with you. My focus I want to help the person who recognizes that they need help. If something is causing mental frustration that affects your daily life, I want to be there to help. There are therapies and techniques that are proven to help you find the wellness that you desire in life. My communication style I listen intently to offer a non-judgmental, personal environment. I practice empathetic listening and help you to reflect on situations that you raise during sessions. If you are experiencing a challenging or hurtful time, I will be patient with you as I help you. My journey to mental healthcare I started to think about social work and therapy when I was finishing my bachelor's degree. I knew that as a teacher, I would not have the time to focus on children's/adolescents' personal, social, and family needs. This field fits my personality. My goals for you Together, we will set goals. As we work together, we will fine-tune those goals to achieve those things that are important to you. First, it involves listening to find root issues that are affecting you. Second, we use tools such as scheduling, journaling, and a whole host of available therapies to achieve the goals you set to provide wellness.
