Some people ask why I became a couples therapist, and my response is: "I was born a therapist." I enjoy the uniqueness of each client and their situation, how they have attempted to solve their problems, and how they are stuck. There are many situations that are similar among clients, but the interplay with each individual and their situation is infinite. Congruency for me is key. Being the person I ask others to be, holding each person with tenderness and creativity while we move toward their goals is transformative in the therapeutic process.
By assisting clients in unraveling the circular nature of their relationships, facilitating healing and positive change in themselves, we create change in the couple or family. Ms. Nichols founded the Center for Couples and Family Healing, PLLC in 1991 where she maintains a private practice specializing in couples and families.
Since 1988, she has been serving the area in various mental health capacities working with issues including communication, premarital, intimacy, sexuality, parenting, depression, anxiety, domestic violence, alcoholism, blended families, and sexual abuse. Loryann also has extensive experience working with 12-step recovery programs.
