Maybe you’re feeling down, overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, or maybe you don’t have the words for what you are feeling.

I work with individuals, couples and families (chosen/blood).

Hello! I'm Amy Nickerson and I am a licensed clinical social worker and trauma informed psychotherapist specializing in adolescents ages 12 and up and adults of all ages seeking treatment in some of their most challenging moments in their lives. I have spent 20 years as a helping professional including hospital social worker, Mental health first responder, and psychiatric facility therapist. I hold a B.S. in Psychology and MSW from Our Lady of the Lake University with specialization in Hispanic/Latinx children and families. Common diagnoses treated include Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, and adjustment disorders.

I am a bilingual counselor who specializes on helping clients who suffer from anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and/or history of trauma. Do you have communication problems in your relationship? Do you wonder if there is anything you can do (or if you should even try) to save your relationship? Do you struggle with anxiety? Is your excessive worrying getting in the way of enjoying your life? Do have trouble engaging in activities you used to enjoy? Are you isolating, leaving you feeling lonely, or sad? Did you have a difficult childhood or experienced a traumatic event and it's affecting your current life or relationships?

Tricilla is knowledgeable in adverse childhood experiences and how they affect the mind and body. She has experience working with troubled teens in the juvenile system as well as in the foster care system. Her passion is helping children through their trauma.

You have experienced a single-incident shock trauma—a sudden, intense event like a car accident, medical/birth trauma, assault, or witnessing these events—and your world has turned upside down. You're experiencing acute stress, panic attacks, or PTSD symptoms, making daily life overwhelming. The distress is so intense that it feels like you're constantly on edge, unable to relax. You might be replaying the memory, unable to sleep, feeling dysregulated, and even isolated. You don't feel like yourself, and despite your efforts, it's hard to function and show up the way you want. You want to get your life back and find relief fast!

For over 20 years, I have helped children, families, couples and members of the LGBTQIA+ community learn to be curious with themselves and navigate the journey to healing. I look forward to helping those with anxiety, relationship challenges, anger, life transitions and trauma by using an understanding approach that helps you to feel heard and valued. By providing a supportive and welcoming environment, I help my clients to be their most authentic selves, by learning to give themselves grace and appreciate the power of forgiveness.

Enjoy counseling while experiencing a natural outdoor atmosphere or in-office setting. Dr. Aragon has 20 years of experience in Academic Teaching/Research and 15 years in Educational and Family counseling.

Therapy is engaged with a primary focus on generational trauma, anxiety, depression communication styles, Identity/Self-Esteem, and intimate re-engagement after chronic illness (e.g., Alzheimer's, diabetes, erectile dysfunction, etc.)

Many of my clients are looking for a safe, warm space to fully express themselves and work through their struggles. We will work together to instill hope and help you move forward. I provide a safe, accepting, supportive environment that assists clients in exploring steps toward healing and growth. I welcome you to explore growth and healing with me.

I am a licensed social worker and have worked in the field of social work for over 18 years. I am a woman with lived experience surrounding neglect, trauma, divorce, motherhood, grief, failure, triumph, hiccups, mistakes, self-doubt, anxiety, depression, you name it. I am a true believer in giving grace to yourself and meeting yourself where you are. I am a Christian and will incorporate biblical principles in sessions if clients ask me to do so, however this is not the case for most of my clients. I am here to provide a judgement free space to support my clients as they walk through the challenges they are faced with.
