Nicole Sela, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Nicole!

I pride myself on meeting you where you are while striving to create a trusting partnership with you and leading with an empathic ear. I believe that you deserve to be considered a whole person, made of many parts, the helpful, the hurtful, and everything in between.

My focus

I specialize in assisting clients in managing anger and adapting to a life of responding rather than reacting. I also work with clients with a history of childhood trauma and those who wrestle with PTSD, bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety.

My approach

I use an individualized approach, including incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, which have proven successful coping strategies, and various other techniques tailored to your specific needs.

My communication style

I will provide a safe space where you can feel comfortable shedding those things that have proven too heavy to carry alone, a space where I will help hold your pain and guide you toward more manageable days.

My journey to mental healthcare

I completed my graduate training in counseling, which deepened my commitment to supporting individuals through their healing journeys and equipped me with the skills to provide compassionate, evidence-based care.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you develop effective coping skills, improve your self-esteem, and navigate life's challenges with greater resilience and confidence. Together, we will work towards fostering personal growth and empowering you to lead a more fulfilling life.

Our first session

During our first session, I aim to create a warm and welcoming environment where you feel comfortable sharing your story. We will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and what you hope to achieve through our work together.
