About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC) in Virginia with over 10 years of experience. As a psychotherapist, counselor educator, and life coach, I have worked with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, OCD, emotional trauma, phobias, and life adjustment challenges. Whatever your concern is, I endeavor to support you without judgment and encourage your personal growth.

My counseling style is warm and engaging. I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity, and compassion. I do not believe in stigmatizing labels or remaining stagnant in life. My approach combines a client-centered approach with cognitive-behavioral therapy. I incorporate evidence-based practices such as motivational interviewing and solution-focused therapy to assist you in reaching your therapeutic goals. I will focus our dialog on your specific needs to create a unique treatment plan that will incorporate your self-identified goals.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life. By contacting me you have taken the first steps towards change. If you are ready to move forward in life, I am available to empower you to do just that.

I look forward to working with you!

Written on Dec 30, 2020 after therapy with Nicola for 6 months on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes

She encourages and challenges me without ever making me feel like I can’t cope with it. I honestly don’t know how I’d be here without her - especially after 2020!

Dr. Hall has been amazing to work with! She is genuinely empathetic and really easy to talk to. She helped me dig deeper to find the root of the issues I had and then worked to help me overcome them.. I enjoyed the tasks she provided me with and really just felt better after every session with her!
