Nicole Muller, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Nicole!

I specialize in treating PTSD, substance use, and anxiety. I also work with clients experiencing insomnia, depression, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, chronic pain, and life issues such as personal growth and relationship problems.

My focus

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, self-esteem issues, sexual abuse, stress, substance use, trauma and PTSD, insomnia, panic attacks, and challenges with coping skills.

My approach

I take a trauma-informed approach to treatment and believe in treating the whole person rather than simply focusing on symptom management. My commitment to a strength-based approach guides my work. I utilize an integrative approach with an emphasis on mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

My communication style

I hold the therapeutic relationship in the highest regard. I take great care to ensure you feel heard and cared for. I strive to understand your point of view and create a therapy experience that feels safe and genuine.

My journey to mental healthcare

I received my B.A. in Psychology from the University of California, Santa Cruz. I went on to earn my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University in San Diego in 2018.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you heal, grow, and thrive. I work collaboratively with you to address your unique needs and challenges. Through our work together, I aim to empower you with the insights and coping skills to navigate life's difficulties, enhance your well-being, and reach your full potential.

Our first session

In our first session, we will focus on understanding what brings you to therapy and clarifying your goals. I will listen carefully to gain a holistic picture of your background, strengths, and current struggles. We will begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship as the foundation for our work together.
