Nicole Laszio

My communication style

I have been told that I am "easy to open up to," and I believe that's true - I'm highly empathetic, encourage self-reflection, humorous (when appropriate), and approach everyone with gentle kindness.

My journey to mental healthcare

I think I've always tried to figure out why we do what we do - whether it's through my personal passion of exploring self through theater, my first educational journey through anthropology, or my working career as a clinical mental health counselor, there's a drive to figure out, understand, and manage my place in the world.

My goals for you

Setting goals is collaborative; you are your own expert, you know what has worked for you in the past (and what hasn't). You know what you want or don't want, and if you can't figure that out, I will show you the tools and processes that will help you figure it out.

Our first session

I like to look at the immediate need, what drew you to seek out counseling. Then look to see if this event/emotional reaction/behavioral reaction is something you've experienced in the past; if it's new, we manage that. If this is a recurrence of behavioral and emotional reactions, we explore triggers (and possible sources for triggers).

I identify as...

• Female
