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, strength-based approach to treating the whole person. I use an integrative method emphasizing mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I believe there is no single approach that works for everyone, so I take time to understand your needs and meet you where you are.

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 am especially interested in the intersection of trauma, addiction, and chronic pain. I have undergone training to deliver evidence-based treatments for PTSD, including EMDR, and am committed to helping clients heal from complex experiences.

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.
