Nicole Walksalong, LCSW
About me
Hey there! I am a licensed clinical social worker based out of Montana. I have been in the mental health field for 12 years and providing therapeutic services for about 10 years in a variety of capacities. I enjoy working with all ages and folks from all walks of life. I enjoy getting to know all my clients on an individual basis and encourage an environment of no shame and no guilt. My style of therapy is laid back but I can be a challenger when needed. Time spent with me is safe, judgement free and place you can explore and discover ways to cope, grow and free-think. I use many different treatment modalities and sometimes combine them in order to meet your needs.
I work with a multitude of presenting problems and meet you where you are at meaning I do not pry for unnecessary information but ask that you are open to the process. No question is dumb and I often ask my clients to ask questions in session.
Asking for guidance and help is hard but I hope I can help you find clarity in what you are seeking. If you are ready to take the next step, I am here to help you!
I look forward to hearing from you!

Nicole has been a light at the end of the tunnel for me, and I look forward to every session with her. She is supportive, honest, and super flexible with your schedule.
