Nikole Green, LCPC — Therapist in Illinois

Hi there, I'm Nikole!

I am a dedicated mental health therapist specializing in childhood trauma and substance use recovery. With a compassionate, client-centered approach, I blend evidence-based therapies like DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and psychodynamic techniques to help clients heal, grow, and reclaim their lives.

My focus

I work with clients ages 5 to 85, providing support for those navigating life’s challenges. My expertise lies in treating co-occurring disorders, substance use, personality disorders, and major life transitions.

My approach

My approach to therapy is holistic and trauma-informed. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop insight, and build practical coping skills. I tailor my interventions to each client’s unique needs.

My communication style

My approach is compassionate yet direct. I believe in being honest and transparent while empowering clients to take control of their healing journey. Sessions with me feel collaborative, engaging, and deeply validating, as I tailor each conversation to meet clients where they are. I strive to make therapy a space of trust, growth, & lasting change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've been connecting dots and providing insight long before I had the official title. Leaving corporate to pursue my purpose was the best decision I ever made. Being a therapist isn't just my profession; it's my calling.

My goals for you

I take a collaborative approach to goal setting, ensuring goals are meaningful, achievable, and aligned with your journey. We create clear action plans that foster growth and lasting change.

Our first session

I create a safe, supportive space where you can share your story at your own pace. I'll listen with empathy, validate your experiences, and help connect the dots between past challenges and present struggles. I'll offer insight, allowing you to choose the pace and path that feels right for you.
