Nick specializes in helping kids and adolescents overcome life-impacting anxiety, depression, anger, and disruptive behavioral issues. He uses Person-Centered approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Play Therapy. He believes in providing a counseling approach that is aware of each client’s individual needs and differences, and works to provide each client with a personal space to discover, learn and grow.
Personal Perspective:
"I use creative therapeutic methods to connect with my clients, understand what matters to them, and help them achieve the desired outcomes in as natural a way as possible. Most of my (child) clients do not see my service as counseling per se, but rather a place to come and engage in interesting games and exercises that are rewarding, and help things work out better for them."
