About

***Please Note: Connie Nichols is a provider within Headway’s provider network. After booking your appointment you will receive an email from Headway with instructions to setup your Headway patient account. You will need to complete this setup in order to confirm your appointment.*** What should your client know about you? Experience with a wide array of issues: domestic violence and rape/sexual assault, trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, plus a lot more. I've worked with couples, military, k-12, college students, adolescents, adults, and children. I have lead workshops for development: growth and developmental psychology and worked in classrooms. I am trained in DBT and EMDR. I have a B.A. with major in psychology, an M.S. Ed. in counselor education, and am 18 credit hours away from graduating with a Psy.D. What is your approach to therapy? My approach to therapy is to ask a lot of questions, as I want to understand where clients are coming from and to be better able to meet the client where they are. If I don't understand something, I would like you to teach me. Therapy is educational for all involved and it is the clinician's responsibility to adjust to the needs of the client. What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you? Clients can expect to gain insight and understanding of themselves and others. Additionally, client's can expect to set goals that guide therapy on a regular basis and to specifically define areas of concentration.
