I am a Licensed Psychologist providing therapy to adults in NJ, NY VT, FL, and CT. Every person has different hurdles to conquer in life and might need assistance along the way. That said, I work with my patients to form a safe and comfortable treatment environment to accomplish their treatment goals. When working with patients, I believe one of the most important factors is the therapist-patient relationship. I take the time to build a solid therapeutic relationship so I can best serve my patients.
I provide mainly cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and person-centered therapy. To tailor therapy to each patient, I pull from additional evidence-based intervention areas in which I have training. Additional areas include mindfulness-based interventions, positive psychology, LGBTQIA+, and trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT).
I encourage you to reach out so we can discuss your needs and find the right path for you.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Bipolar disorder, ADHD, Caregiver issues and stress, Coping with Natural or Human-Caused Disaster, First Responder Issues, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Impulsivity, Isolation / loneliness, Money and financial issues, Mood disorders , Panic disorder and panic attacks, Phobias, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Social anxiety and phobia, Women's issues, Workplace issues, Young Adult Issues
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Nicole (Nikki) Lacherza-Drew. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I have had 2 sessions so far with Dr. Nikki but she is excellent and so intelligent.
