Nicole Jefferson
My most crucial long-term relationship has been with the great outdoors; my first therapist was Mother Nature. I have used my time in this mighty space to align the things that make my heartbeat: people, nature, and the power of self-development. I believe the outdoors is a powerful resource in helping us feel grounded and at peace, immersed in all that Mother Nature offers. My approach is holistic, mindful-based, somatic, and person-centered. My goal for people is to feel good in their skin and reach their true potential of SELF. I offer indoor, virtual, and outdoor therapy.
I am a trauma-informed therapist, and EMDR trained. I am passionate about working with individuals who feel stuck by the overpowering impact of trauma, PTSD, and early childhood relational wounding. In my work with clients, I encompass a mindfulness lens, somatic work, internal family systems, natural components, and the power that we all have to heal ourselves.
It would be a privilege for me to witness and facilitate your journey to finding yourself. All you need to begin is inquisitiveness toward your experience and the zeal to show up for yourself. On my part, I promise to show up fully as myself, grounded and non-judgemental, as we work together.

Additional Credentials
You do not need to be able to name your concerns in order to benefit from therapy. Ultimately, we will work together to determine what areas of your life you’d like to explore and unpack. Additionally, simply wanting a sounding board is a valid reason to seek therapy, as is a general desire to work on yourself.
Some foci I explore with patients include: anxiety, depression, body dysmorphia, family concerns, relationship concerns, grief, and support with transitions.
I find that patients may come in for sessions with a specific need in mind, but over several sessions we uncover additional needs, or unexpected paths that require exploration. So, if you bring anything with you into sessions, I ask that you bring an open mind.
