Nick Mann, MA, LCMHCA, NCC

Nick strives to create a comfortable and protected space that facilitates greater self-reflection and personal exploration. He believes that the most effective outcome in counseling comes from establishing a team dynamic in sessions, through which meaningful goals can be identified and ultimately achieved.

He primarily works with adults and developing adults, ages 15 and older, as they explore thoughts and feelings, new roles or life transitions, relationships, boundaries, and personal identity.

Nick's approach to therapy places a particular emphasis on the relationship and interaction between client and therapist; allowing the client to guide sessions in the direction that is most relevant and meaningful. In addition, he utilizes techniques and skills drawn from tenets of Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Mindfulness, and Dialectical-Behavior Therapy (DBT), in order to tailor sessions to the uniqueness of the client and their life experiences.
