Hi! My name is Audrie Nicholson. I am a licensed clinical social worker. I believe in a whole person approach to healing. I believe in the dignity and worth of each person and meet the client where they are in their healing journey. I use a combination of therapies including CBT, DBT, solution focused therapy, CPT, trauma informed therapies and I work with the attitude that the client is the expert of their own life and needs. I work with life stresses, transitions, anxiety, and depression. I am also comfortable with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorder. I allow the client to set the tone of the session...to an extent. I challenge clients to work on things outside of therapy and move towards bettering their life. Clients often can make excuses as to why they can't change so I use motivation to show them why they can. Watching clients improve their current life and realizing they have more potential than they thought they did. Helping a client make better decisions and meet goals or change thought processes using CBT/DBT therapy. Watching the client have joy brings me joy.
