I specialize in working with women who eat their feelings. I have developed the STOP Eating Your Feelings approach, which differentiates four different patterns of emotional overeating. Distinguishing these four types helps compulsive eaters to identify the reasons why they binge and to target the particular patterns they need to change in order to move beyond compulsive overeating. I also work with clients with anxiety, depression, workplace stress, those healing from grief or trauma or trying to sort out the effects of growing up in a dysfunctional family.

I am a psychiatrist and psychotherapist who believes therapy is an opportunity to address aspects of the human condition that are very much felt, though not as often examined in contemporary life. The development of a secure, safe, and supportive therapeutic relationship is central to the effectiveness of psychotherapy and lays the groundwork for self-reflection, healing, and growth. My approach is dedicated to facilitating this process and creating a collaborative space for empathy, curiosity, and understanding.

Everyone experiences trauma, but for some, those experiences can feel too big to handle alone. My name is Nico’Lee Biddle, and I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced complex trauma, depression, and anxiety. I have 10 years of experience working with individuals whose lives have been impacted by experiencing something beyond their control, such as foster care, parental substance abuse or mental health, and overall life transitions. I have an eclectic therapeutic approach where I use elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative and talk therapy, and trauma-focused therapy.

I love working with adults who want to get curious about the ways their past affects their present. Beginning in childhood, we learned to adapt to our circumstances and adjust our behaviors to maintain safety and security with others. Many of us found along the way that our emotions, needs, or wants were "too much" for the people we turned to for connection and protection. As a result we may have come to believe that we had to hide parts of ourselves in order to be loved or cared for. Over time, this hiding can lead to feelings of distress, anxiety, depression, shame, relationship challenges, and even chronic pain.

When we feel stuck with our uncomfortable feelings or overwhelming circumstances, therapy can help us discover options to shift into something new. I strive to help clients identify and meet their needs in a healthier way, set appropriate boundaries, navigate crises without destruction, and feel supported when ending or beginning a relationship, career or life stage. I believe that we are all impacted by our families of origin (and honestly, almost anyone and anything around us), but that doesn’t mean we need to be held hostage by the past OR the present. Your feelings matter. You matter. Let's work together on getting unstuck.

So- time to find a therapist! It's a powerful, maybe scary time. As a relationship and intimacy therapist, for individuals and relationships (monogamous and not), I invite you to get curious and courageous for yourself and those you care about. And for the life you really want.

Now accepting new clients! As a person-centered therapist, I believe there is potential to help anyone interested in working with me regardless of their reasons for coming to therapy. That being said, I enjoy working with folks who struggle with anxiety, gender and sexual identities, neurodivergence, self-concept or self-worth, complex and religious trauma, relationship issues, and grief. I am an LGBTQIA+ and relationship-affirming therapist and I'm very passionate about working with people in marginalized groups. I believe that everyone needs a therapist who can listen with compassion and understanding.
