Nicole Erickson

My communication style

My communication style is open, non-judgmental, and honest above all else. I utilize Motivational Interviewing strategies, which include asking open-ended questions and reflective listening. The goal of these strategies is to put the client in the driver's seat of your treatment and be respectful of your autonomy and choice over your own life.

My journey to mental healthcare

What initially drew me toward the therapy profession was a curiosity to understand why people think the way they think or behave in the manner they do. What drives them and supports them in areas they’d like to grow in. Along the way, this turned into a passion for serving the underserved, anyone and everyone, and being an advocate for these folks.

My goals for you

When it comes to setting goals for treatment, the most important thing to me is that they are yours. Whether it is to focus on the relationships in your life, build self-worth, manage life changes, or simply process stress, together we’ll build a treatment plan that best supports your objectives.

Our first session

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other better. We’ll discuss relevant background information and what brings you to therapy. If this isn’t your first time in treatment, I would like to know what has worked for you in the past, and what didn’t, so that this process is geared toward your specific journey and not repetitive.
