Relationships are hard. Not because you're doing something wrong, but because two people trying to stay close while also being fully themselves is one of the most complicated things humans attempt. That's the work I love most: helping couples figure out how to fight less destructively, feel more connected, and rebuild the kind of intimacy that made them want to be together in the first place. I'm a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist, and most of my caseload is couples wrestling with communication breakdowns, trust issues, mismatched libidos, infidelity, or just that slow drift where two people start feeling more like roommates than partners. I lean heavily on the Gottman Method because it's research-backed and practical, not just theory, and I pair it with attachment-based work because so much of what shows up in a relationship in your 30s, 40s, or 60s actually started as a survival strategy in childhood.

Hello! My name is Nicole Reed, and I have over 20 years' experience in the mental health world. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in two States. I have successfully assisted children, adolescents and adults who have suffered a traumatic event in their life. For 12 years of my career, I specialized in helping survivors of sexual abuse and assault. Many people are able to express they feel depressed, anxious, low self-worth, parenting issues, sexual identify, sleep difficulty and grief. For many it is harder to understand how trauma affects and amply those symptoms. Sometimes even harder to admit a life experience was traumatic. I utilized Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focus Therapy, Trauma-Focus: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Procovery and Mindfulness to help you through this journey. I believe in healing the mind, body and soul. No matter what you have experienced if you are suffering there is a better way. I look forward to helping you find it.

I am a Clinical Marriage & Family Therapist licensed in Kansas with 35 years of professional work experience. Before moving back to Kansas, I worked as a therapist in California at a school for troubled children and later in a maximum security jail. I have helped clients with many different disorders as well as relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy related issues, motivation, self esteem, confidence, and issues arising during spiritual emergence. I studied Transpersonal psychology at John F. Kennedy University and Saybrook Institute in the San Francisco area. While I use several therapeutic modalities, I am primarily Rogarian in my session work. Treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion is of upmost importance. I believe the human spirit is remarkably resilient and able to heal from so much with a little encouragement. My task is to participate, encourage, and be a witness to your growth and healing. I will tailor our work together to meet your unique needs. The decision to start therapy takes courage and commitment to change. In my opinion, the most import aspect of your decision, is finding the right therapist, one you can trust and with whom you can share the details of your life. Forming a strong therapeutic relationship together makes all the difference. I have heard many life stories from all kinds of people in my years as a therapist. If I seem to be the right therapist for you, then I look forward to hearing your story. So, shall we get started?

Each day, life unfolds in ways we don’t always expect. We encounter moments that leave us baffled, overwhelmed, confused, or emotionally shaken — and far too often, we face those moments feeling alone, ashamed, or pulled away from our own inner needs, no matter who we are or how we identify. Having someone to share these experiences with in a non‑judgmental, affirming space can make all the difference. I’m here to walk alongside you on the healing journey you’re creating, offering support as you reconnect with your strength, clarity, and sense of self. I work with adults 18 and older, offering a safe and supportive space rooted in trauma‑informed care, holistic well‑being, and collaborative partnership. Together, we focus on your goals, self‑love, and strengthening your personal intuition so you can move toward your vision of a grounded and empowered life. Your truth and your experiences deserve to be heard, honored, and understood. I’m here to listen with care and to support you as you move toward the healing path that feels right for you.
