Janell Nicholson

My communication style

I have a calm demeanor that puts clients at ease and gives them the freedom to share their story without fear of judgment, while listening with compassion. I'm able to see the humor in some situations while maintaining professionalism.

My journey to mental healthcare

I transitioned to practicing as a therapist in mid-life. Previously, I worked in high tech, which gave me a valuable combination of professional insight and lived experience in the workplace. I have been married for 25+ years and raised two children. I've navigated the challenges of multiple stages of life, which has enriched my perspective.

My goals for you

I like to collaborate with clients to set goals for therapy. As we gain new insights together, we'll adapt your plan to keep it meaningful and supportive as you move toward where you want to be. I provide a private, supportive space where you can arrive as you are and explore your growth at your own pace.

Our first session

In our first session, I'll ask questions to understand why you're seeking therapy. Primarily, I'd like to understand what's going on currently, and I'll ask some questions geared toward understanding your past. I never pressure my clients to talk about anything they're not ready to share.
