Nicole Bakewell

Nicole speaks English and works with adults on a range of concerns including parenting stress, grief, addictions, and mood struggles. She draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Sessions emphasize understanding attachment patterns, improving communication, and teaching concrete skills to manage emotions and behavior. Nicole uses elements of the Gottman Method to address relationship dynamics alongside cognitive and behavioral strategies for day-to-day coping.

Her background includes eight years providing clinical services in community mental health and through telehealth. That experience shaped a down-to-earth way of working that centers listening and collaboration.

She aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can set realistic goals and try new ways of handling hard situations. In practice she focuses on trauma-informed, behavior-centered care that pairs skill-building with emotional processing.

Nicole helps people manage symptoms like sleep disruption, low self-esteem, anger, and difficulties with intimacy. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain, adoption and foster care concerns, and identity-related stress.

Sessions are offered across multiple formats to fit different schedules. Nicole encourages clients to bring practical concerns and concrete goals so therapy stays focused and useful.
