Nicole Clinkscale
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PLLC
​My calling to this work comes from my own experience of holding everything in, carrying the weight of caring for others, and hiding my own exhaustion. For a long time, I understood what it meant to keep going even when I needed a break, to put others' needs before my own, and to believe I had to handle everything on my own.
​​
Through my own growth and continued practice, I have learned the importance of self-care, self-compassion, and giving myself permission to slow down. I've learned that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, and that taking a break does not mean I'm falling behind.
​​
These experiences have deepened my passion for helping other women who find themselves caught in the same cycle of giving , doing, and carrying-while quietly putting their own needs last.
​
Our first session is typically conversational and focused on understanding your unique experiences and needs. I also provide psychoeducation when helpful so that you can better understand what you're experiencing and begin developing practical tools for managing life's challenges. Throughout therapy, I integrate mindfulness, coping skills, behavioral strategies, emotional processing, and self-reflection to support meaningful and lasting growth.
​​
My hope is that after working together, you'll feel as though a weight has been lifted from your shoulders and that you have the tools, insight, and confidence to move forward with greater ease.
It's okay to seek help and prioritize your self-care. You deserve support, too.

Therapeutic Approaches
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
A type of psychotherapy used to help individuals identify and change maladaptive thoughts and behaviors. It aids in recognizing problems, modifying negative thinking patterns, and developing more positive ones.
​
Psychodynamic Therapy
A type of psychotherapy explores an individual’s past, including childhood experiences and relationships, to uncover unconscious motivations and unresolved conflicts that may affect their mental health. The goal is to help clients understand how their history influences their present behavior and to improve their self-awareness.
​
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Mindfulness and acceptance-based practices, along with behavior change, help individuals manage unwanted thoughts, feelings, and sensations. This approach fosters acceptance while encouraging changes that align with personal values. A key technique, cognitive defusion, helps people view their thoughts as temporary and distinct from their identity.
​
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
This type of therapy emphasizes the belief that change is achievable and empowers clients to overcome challenges by focusing on their strengths and skills. This approach fosters hope and optimism by highlighting what is working well and what the client aims to accomplish, rather than dwelling on past issues.
