Nichelle Wiggins, LPCMH — Therapist in Delaware

Hi there, I'm Nichelle!

Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step on your healing journey. I help people respond more effectively to their intrusive thoughts, feelings, and urges so that they no longer interfere with everyday life. If you struggle with severe anxiety, you are in the right place.

My focus

If you're struggling with intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, severe anxiety, phobias, skin picking, hair pulling, or other body-focused repetitive behaviors, you are in the right place. I work with clients facing these challenges to help them reclaim their lives.

My approach

I work collaboratively with you to reach your therapy goals. Once we set goals, which is an ongoing process, I engage you in evidence-based practices to develop effective strategies. I use approaches tailored to address and improve your symptoms.

My communication style

I strive to keep communication open and real, and I want you to feel heard, supported, and never judged. I'll listen and reflect with you like a thoughtful partner along your therapy journey. If we're working through something tough, I'll stay calm, patient, and encouraging.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started as an accounting major but quickly realized it wasn't for me. A human relations course sparked my interest, leading to a social work degree and positions working with children. After witnessing powerful transformations in treating anxiety disorders, I pursued private practice to help people heal and create a happier, healthier future.

My goals for you

In the very first session, I ask about your goals for treatment. We monitor progress through self-report, measurable assessments, and what we notice in sessions. The healing process is not linear. There will be ups and downs and changes made along the way.

Our first session

During the first session, we will get to know each other and I will gather information about your goals for treatment, current symptoms, and your history. We will begin to develop a plan for treatment and determine the frequency and duration of sessions.
