Meriah Nichols

My communication style

My style is warm, approachable, and relaxed. I want you to feel comfortable talking openly with me about whatever is on your mind. Others have described me as supportive, honest, caring, resourceful, curious, and compassionate. I’ve also been told I have a good sense of humor.

My journey to mental healthcare

I’m an “accidental therapist” whose path has included teaching, training, writing, HR, instructional design, and career counseling. Helping people recognize their strengths, heal what holds them back, and thrive has always been at the heart of my work. My multicultural upbringing and experience as a single mother also shape my perspective.

My goals for you

I don’t set goals for you. My aim is to offer a safe space where you can bring your own goals, or where we can work together to clarify what would feel helpful and meaningful to you. Your goals are the north star and compass of our work, not mine.

Our first session

In our first session, I like to informally “talk story” and learn what brings you to therapy. I’ll listen, answer your questions, and help clarify your goals while we get a sense of whether we’re a good fit. I’m also happy to explain the therapy process and ease any anxiety about getting started.
