Psychotherapy
Nicole utilizes a direct, trauma-centered psychotherapy method that focuses on the immediate and detailed acknowledgement of experienced harm. Through the identification of schemas that were developed in states of intense activation, clients become more aware of the negative patterns of behavior that are impacting them in the present.
Drama Therapy
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy
Developmental transformations (DvT) is an improvisational, embodied, playful form of drama therapy where the therapist engages in a mutual, transforming exploration of issues, situations and identities that are important to the client. It is rooted in the belief that being is unstable and seeks to help individuals become more comfortable with the uncomfortable.
