Somatic Therapists in Mount Laurel, NJ

Welcome! I'm Nicole, a dedicated therapist passionate about empowering individuals to navigate life's challenges and embrace their true selves. I create a space for teenage, young adult, and adult clients, particularly women and gender non-conforming individuals, to explore their identities and heal from past traumas. I work with those struggling with their sense of self and those who feel misunderstood. Whether you’re struggling with feelings of being “too much” or “not enough,” or seeking healthier and more fulfilling relationships, I am here to support you.

I’m a non-judgmental therapist who values balance as a core concept to support clients’ healing. I am passionate about collaborating with people who have treatment goals around desire/arousal, pelvic floor symptoms, discernment therapy, relationship trauma, and body dysmorphia that manifests as plastic surgery addiction. With expertise in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Somatic Experiencing (SE) Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, I offer a personalized and comprehensive approach to treatment.

Hello, I am glad your here! Welcome to your One Life. I would be honored to be a part. I am a Licensed Master level Clinical Social Worker and Certified Yoga Therapist. I specialize in DBT, CBT, anxiety/depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, C-PTSD, addiction recovery, and fear. I have additional certification in domestic violence and sexual assault. I also work with grief and loss, divorce and couples seeking to mend and/or reconnect. I am experienced with the 12 Step philosophy that aligns with my mindfulness-based approach to recovery. I am a Certified Yoga therapist and bring the body into somatic treatment using Yoga as therapy.

Many of my clients struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, and trauma find their way to a more productive and happy life through therapy. I can help you navigate the world of trauma and grief to help you release emotional trauma. I also work with a number of people who are living with a spouse who is unreasonable. Thy often do not want to leave the relationship. It is important to understand who the person is and why they are that why so you can learn to live with them in peace.

Helping people reach their personal goals is one of the most rewarding parts of my work as a therapist. I believe that we carry the means of healing and growth within us. Therefore, you as the client will choose the direction of therapy. Many times, we just need some help listening to ourselves, clarifying our goals, and choosing the means to reach them. I see myself as a guide and resource on your journey; you decide where we are going and I do everything I can to help you get there. The sessions and course of treatment will be as structured or free-flowing as you decide.

My ideal client is someone courageous enough to open up and commit to engaging in the therapeutic journey. I resonate deeply with clients of any age dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, childhood trauma, and navigating the nuances of LGBTQIA+ experiences. My ideal client desires to rediscover their authentic self amidst life's challenges and aspires to develop coping strategies and foster personal growth. They aim to cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves, enhance daily living skills, improve relationships, and create a fulfilling life path aligned with their true identity and goals.

Are you feeling stuck? Disconnected from you desires? Confused? Have you struggled with feeling different or building satisfying relationships? Strong, loving relationships are essential to wellbeing. No relationship is more important than the one you have with yourself. I want to help you achieve better integration of mind and body through self-compassion, acceptance, mindfulness, and embodiment. I have specialized experience working with LGBQ, Trans, Poly/ENM, GNC/NB, Kinky, and Sex Working individuals. While I don't accept insurance I do offer sliding scale services to individuals $40-$150 based on need.

Congratulations on taking the first courageous step in dealing with life issues that you have been experiencing! I use therapies that are evidence-based, which means that these strategies have proven to be effective with issues like stress, anxiety/panic, depression, trauma, relationship conflict, or unhealthy habits.

If you have trauma that has been chasing you and you're tired of running, I can support you in minimizing the effect that trauma has on you so that you can move forward. If anxiety or depression are with you, I can support you with tried and true strategies to manage them. If you're a parent and you're struggling with communication with your teenager, I can support you and your teen with getting on the same page and having a better relationship. If you are an adult with ADHD or you're a parent of a child with ADHD, we will work together as you understand your diagnosis and how to manage symptoms - I got you!
