Nichola Ali

My communication style

I create a warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental environment so you can feel comfortable opening up. This is how trust is built to create a strong therapeutic relationship where the best work happens. I am calm, caring, kind, and understanding. I listen with an open mind and provide support and empowerment when appropriate.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have overcome many struggles and obstacles in my own life, and it brings me great pleasure to assist those going through similar difficulties. I know firsthand what it feels like to not be at my best. I strive to treat and care for others with my education, personal experiences, and knowledge to make the world better one person at a time.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting by first discussing short-term goals, then long-term goals, and creating a realistic timeframe for achieving them. I go over expectations with you and what you would like to achieve in order of importance to you, ensuring we work toward what matters most in your life.

Our first session

You should expect to complete an initial intake assessment during the first session. This is necessary to collect proper information to provide appropriate care and treatment. I will be patient and listen carefully to what is going on currently with you. You can expect to feel heard and validated.
