Nicole Budd LPC

The first session, as with all Thriveworks therapists, will involve talking through your needs and goals for therapy — whether those involve managing depression, anxiety, relationship problems, or another mental health challenge. This will enable you to receive the very best care, as a personalized treatment plan will then be developed for subsequent sessions. Thriveworks helps people live happier, more fulfilling lives. Clients are guided and supported as they work through their unique mental health challenges – and, along the way, shown the life-changing power of therapy.

I offer a variety of counseling approaches including CBT / Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems. As a strength-based therapist, I understand that at any given moment every client is trying their best to accomplish their goals, and that success can often come by helping the client identify their strengths and how to use them in new and creative ways.

We all go through periods where life may not be exactly how we'd like it to be, which are often accompanied by a readiness for change. While some may have a clear understanding of the changes they'd like to see, others may simply feel stuck or be unable to put the changes they'd like to make into words. Nikki is confident she can help you cope with life's trials and accomplish your goals regardless of which camp you fall into!
