Kristen Nicholson

Dr. Kristen Nicholson, EdD, celebrates the courageous decision of individuals seeking therapy, recognizing it as a meaningful step toward honoring their innermost needs and feelings. She believes that everyone has an intrinsic desire to lead a meaningful and purposeful life, although they may sometimes find themselves trapped in unhelpful thought patterns regarding their self-worth and circumstances. Dr. Nicholson utilizes a blend of Afrocentric practices, Mindfulness-based approaches, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her sessions. She views therapy as a collaborative process where clients and she join forces to navigate life's hurdles. A significant aspect of her practice is dedicated to empowering women facing self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, work-life balance, relationship challenges, self-care concerns, and parenting dilemmas. Dr. Nicholson encourages women to embrace their authentic selves while skillfully balancing their needs with those of others. She is committed to crafting a supportive and secure atmosphere that allows clients to feel appreciated, understood, and free to express their thoughts and feelings without fear of criticism. Supporting individuals on their journey of personal growth and self-exploration is not just a responsibility for Dr. Nicholson—it is her passion.
