Please visit my profile to learn more about my services.
Hello! My name is Nikole, and I provide specialized OCD therapy for college students and young adults. I also work with individuals with tics, skin-picking, hair pulling, and other related conditions. I may be a good fit for you if you struggle with intrusive unwanted thoughts, feel like you need follow specific mental or physical rituals to feel "ok," or avoid situations that trigger your fears. OCD often targets areas that feel shameful and can make people wonder if they are going crazy, but it is very treatable with the correct type of therapy. Clients who work with me are motivated to work hard on their therapy homework between sessions because they want to get better as fast as possible and get back to living their lives and pursuing their goals.
Welcome! I’m so glad we’ve crossed paths. My name is Hayley, and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I have my master's degree in social work (LLMSW) from Grand Valley State University, where I also received my bachelor's degree in social work (BSW). Because everyone’s journey is unique, I will meet you where you're at and walk alongside you to provide the support you seek and deserve. My therapeutic style is warm, validating, supportive, empowering, and person-centered. I truly believe that having a safe and validating space to share our truth is so healing. The approaches I may implement in practice are elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, humanistic/client-centered, and strengths based. I specialize in anxiety, stress management, life transitions, LGBTQIA+, women’s issues, individuals involved in the justice system, pet end of life planning, and pet grief/loss. When I’m out of the office I find joy in spending time with my 5 cats. They are all rescues with unique stories and goofy personalities. I also have two chinchillas, and a general love for rodents. I believe animals are so healing. I know mine have saved me and brought me peace in so many ways. I also find joy in listening to my vinyl collection, watercolor painting, and looking for rocks and fossils along the shores of Lake Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Thank you for being here! I look forward to creating a validating therapeutic space for you that is accepting, healing, and empowering.
Immediate openings; Licensed in Iowa, Michigan, and Minnesota! I believe that everyone can benefit from having a warm, genuine therapist by their side as they work through difficult feelings or experiences. I aim to help my clients increase their self-awareness and insight to make meaningful changes in their lives. I help my clients explore their goals, strengths, values, and help my clients reflect on beliefs and thought patterns that may no longer serve them. I enjoy using humor with my clients, make sure to celebrate successes throughout the therapeutic journey, and use a balance of challenging and encouragement to foster growth. I understand that everyone's needs of a therapist are different. Prioritizing a safe, nonjudgmental space for those I work with, I use a person-centered approach to collaborate with my clients to create a therapeutic experience that works best for them. Making the decision to start therapy can feel overwhelming, and it is important to feel as though your therapist is a good match. I am here to answer any questions about the therapeutic process you may have and to discuss how we could work together to reach your goals.
