About Me
Hello, and welcome! I am so glad you are here. My name is Nicola Noel, and I am a licensed therapist with 6 years of experience working with individuals navigating life's challenges. My work focuses on helping people better understand themselves, manage difficult emotions, and create more fulfilling lives. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, relationship struggles, career stress, or navigating the complexities of identity, I believe that Therapy is a safe, supportive space for self-discovery and growth.
Experience and Education
I hold a Bachelor's in Child and Adolescent Psychology with a minor in organization leadership and a Master's in Clinical Mental Counselling. I am currently working towards a PhD in international psychology. I am licensed in Texas as a licensed professional Counselor. Over the years, I have worked in various settings, including private practice, community mental health, and organizations focused on special education, academic structure, trauma, relationship counselling, and. career coaching. I have worked with individuals across different age groups and backgrounds, from young adults to those in mid-life transitions, each with unique goals and challenges.
My Treatment Approach
I take an integrative, client-centred approach to Therapy, which means I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, goals, and challenges. I draw from a variety of evidence-based techniques, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – to help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier, more adaptive ways of thinking.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy – to help you become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in the present moment, which can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.
Solution-Focused Therapy – to help you focus on your strengths, explore practical solutions, and move forward with greater clarity.
Person-Centred Therapy – to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and valued, fostering more profound self-acceptance.
I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and am committed to building a safe, trusting space where you can express yourself freely. I strive to create a supportive, empowering, and collaborative environment where we work together toward our personal goals.
How I Can Help
Life does not always go as planned, and it can sometimes feel overwhelming when faced with stress, uncertainty, or dissatisfaction in various areas of our lives. Whether you are struggling with loneliness, career burnout, relationship difficulties, or self-doubt, I can help you better understand your thoughts and behaviours, break free from limiting patterns, and develop new ways of coping. My approach is practical but compassionate—I believe that lasting change comes from a combination of self-awareness, self-compassion, and actionable strategies.
I also understand that each person's journey is unique, and no one-size-fits-all solution exists. I am here to meet you where you are and support you in exploring new possibilities, whether working through challenging emotions, setting meaningful goals, or learning to manage stress and anxiety more effectively.
I would love to work with you if you are ready to take the next step toward creating the life and relationships you want. I am here to support you every step of the way. Let us start this journey together!

Nicola is thoughtful and thorough. She does so much more than just listen; she absorbs, mirrors, and advises.

With the few sessions I’ve been privileged enough to have with Nicola have been truly a joy. She not only gives me the space to feel and talk about my feelings, but she gives me directions and guidance in every way that I need. I’m so thankful for Nicola and I am excited to continue our therapy journey together. Thank you for showing me that’s it’s ok to get help. <3

This is my first experience with therapy and Nicola is awesome! She creates a safe and welcoming environment; which makes it so much easier to open up freely and express myself. Our sessions have a great flow, even when I feel I’m struggling with what to say or how to express things. Very Helpful!

Conscientious professional, who understands and provides alternative ways of thinking about things to help with decision-making.

Nicola is amazing at what she does. She has pulled things out of me that I didn’t even know were there. A single session with her can make such a difference. Therapy with anyone else has never proven so beneficial.

So far I have had 2 sessions with Nicola, and she has truly been a breath of fresh air! Even when I’m rambling, I can see her silently cheering me on. I already feel like she’s helped me so much!
