Nicole Taylor, Ed.S, LPC-S, NCC
Owner/Provider

I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Virginia and Washington DC, and I have over ten years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked with various individuals across many backgrounds and treatment needs, including children and adults with anxiety, depression, serious mental illness, substance use and addiction, trauma, self-harm, parent-child relationship challenges, and low self-esteem.

I enjoy working with teens and young adults with anxiety who are transitioning between phases of life, as well as mothers who are trying to find balance in life. I have been certified in trauma treatment and am honored when someone trusts me enough to allow me into some of the darkest moments of their lives. My primary strategy is to provide a warm and safe environment based on kindness and empathic understanding.

I primarily work from a person-centered approach and use techniques from trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I often incorporate art therapy, prolonged exposure techniques for trauma processing, and provide psychoeducation on the mind-body connection. I work to create a warm and safe environment that is based on kindness and empathic understanding.

My approach is to build off what is working in your life and find ways to apply strengths to other areas of need. Even if you don’t feel anything is going right, I can assist you in finding and channeling strength for making long-lasting change. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions; I work to respond to any contact within 48 business hours. I look forward to meeting you!
