Nicholas Hrebien

My communication style

I try to understand before speaking. I'll ask clarifying questions to make sure we're on the same page. If there's ever a miscommunication, I encourage you to speak to me about it. I value the therapeutic relationship as a space to practice healthy communication.

My journey to mental healthcare

I had an encounter with someone whose life was influenced by traumatic experiences. In learning their story, I knew I wanted to help people find meaning despite their trauma. I continue to be motivated by seeing my clients achieve the confidence and ability to overcome their challenges through therapy.

My goals for you

I enjoy setting goals with you that feel eager to achieve, not overwhelming. I like to find the Goldilocks zone—a goal that's just right for you. Not too big and not too small, just right.

Our first session

I'll define the boundaries of therapy, learn your reason for starting, and answer your questions. If this is your first time, I acknowledge therapy can be awkward, and it takes time to build a relationship. But with time and practice, I'll learn your story, and you'll grow in boldness with me.
