I hold a Masters Degree in Science in Counseling and Psychology from Troy University; a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of West Florida; and an Associate in Science with a focus in Mental Health. I have been in the field of mental health since 2009 and licensed since 2013. Therapeutic theories that I use are that of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy as the mainstay of my practice. I am well versed in Existential Therapy and use it to help those dealing with grief and dying. My overall therapeutic attitude of therapy is that of warm and unconditional regard of Person-Centered Therapy to provide excellent care for my clients. I have worked in addictions therapy, family therapy, adult individual therapy, youth therapy, group therapy, and worked in correctional institutions with youth and adults. I have had success in helping people to find their self-potential and realize their inner power. Unlocking your potential and inner power helps people to see that they can overcome many of life's problems and relieve many symptoms of mental health diagnoses.

Helpful at getting me to change my thinking about weight loss. Other more expensive therapists were less helpful. I've been able to improve how I approach food, exercise, and thinking about my health more in a few months with him than over years with other therapists. He is empathetic and kind, but also truthful and good at uncovering unhelpful thinking patterns. This is the best money I've spent on therapy.

I’ve had the most transformational sessions with Mr. Nichols, he really gave me a better perspective on life. He didn’t just feel like a person doing his job for the pay. He counseled me with passion, he shared similar experiences. Simply put he feels like a real friend. I never opened up to anyone as much as I did with Mr. Nichols because our interactions felt 100% authentic. I thank him a lot for everything he has told me. He gave me a new look at life. He’s as real as it gets. I look forward to every session.

So far I have found my sessions with Samuel very helpful and enlightening. He has a way of helping me to discover the answers I'm looking for without directly telling me but instead working through issues/scenarios which lead to me concluding on the situation myself which is great. It really ensures that I understand the conclusion that is made from issues posed instead of being told and not really understanding. Samuel is super attentive and makes therapy a comfortable and beneficial experience. I have been really enjoying my sessions so far and feel like I am learning a lot from the worksheets and conversations I have with Samuel.

I have been spending the last few months getting to know Sam and he is a great/funny guy, therapist and listener. He is extremely knowledgeable about behaviors and the brain. He's the kind of guy you can sit and talk to for hours and not know were the time went. He has helped me deal with my worst trauma's in my life and now I am back to being a productive person with strong motivation to succeed. I think Sam had a lot to do with that. My Fiancé, was tired of listening to my painful stories and Sam added an unbias ear to bend.
