Nichole Venegas, JD, LMHC, Doctoral Candidate
Hello!
I became a mental health provider because I believe everyone needs a safe space to just breathe. This is a place to be heard, grow, and reflect on life’s journey. Feeling heard and accepted is my main focus during our sessions. My counseling style is warm, empathetic, encouraging, and interactive as I utilize a client-centered approach. I also incorporate other modalities such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Exposure Therapy (ERP), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
I have experience in supporting teenagers, young adults and adults.
With a background in Law, I bring a meticulous and empathetic approach in understanding complex human emotions. My journey led me to become a certified Life Coach, focusing on nurturing self-esteem and personal growth. Holding a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I merge my legal insights with therapeutic techniques to provide holistic support. My training in Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) further enhances my ability to empower clients in their mental and emotional well-being journey. I am here to guide you through life’s challenges and to help you step into your power.
In my free time, I spend it with my family and work with my nonprofit, Just Help Out Foundation 501(c)3 which focuses on suicide prevention and mental health.
