About
Nicole Nakagama
LCSW-C
Hi, my name is Nicole, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C). Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially during times of stress or transition. My goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative space where clients feel respected, heard, and understood. While I have extensive experience supporting teenagers and young adults, all ages are welcome. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the unique challenges athletes face. With adolescents, I focus on healthy emotional development, identity formation, and effective coping skills.
​
My approach is trauma informed, person-centered and tailored to each client’s needs. I use evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Strengths-Based Therapy and supportive counseling, blending practical skill-building with compassionate exploration to support resilience and personal growth.
​
I meet clients where they are and work at a pace that feels supportive and empowering.
