About Nichole
Nichole Barrett, LPC, NCC, MS
My name is Nichole Barrett, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. Over the years, I've had the privilege of supporting adults through anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and life transitions. My approach combines evidence-based practices with genuine compassion, creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can heal and grow at their own pace. I currently work with adults ages 18 and older who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and other mental health concerns.
Everyone has their own unique perspective and life experiences, which is why I take an individualized and compassionate approach to treatment planning and therapy.
Together, we can explore evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and psychoeducation to help you better understand your experiences, build practical coping skills, and strengthen resilience.
“I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves a place where they can feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My goal isn't to ‘fix’ you—it’s to help you make sense of your experiences, recognize your strengths, and find a path forward that feels right for you. Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in real connection. I want you to leave each session with a little more hope, a little more clarity, and feeling more like yourself than when you came in.”

OUR APPROACH
Evidence-based therapy, delivered with warmth.
Every treatment plan is built around you — your history, your goals, and the pace that feels right.
Individualized Care
No two people are the same. Every treatment plan is tailored to your specific story, goals, and pace.
Evidence-Based Practice
CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches — grounded in research, delivered with flexibility.
Trauma-Informed
We understand that trauma affects the whole person. Safety, trust, and choice are built into every session.
