We all reach emotional crossroads in our lives and often need guidance from a professional. I am warm and caring and provide a non-judgmental atmosphere while assertively providing feedback. I help families and couples resolve conflicts and teach the art of appreciation and gratitude. I utilize a variety of treatment approaches. Do you "feel lost in the world." Do you have a tendency to take out your frustrations with the ones you love the most? My name is Nicole McCarthy, LCSW and I have over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, families, couples and adults across the life span.

I have worked with youth in residential settings, adults and teens in psychiatric hospitals, medical hospitals, domestic violence shelters and outpatient mental health clinics.
