Ms. Marie 'Missy' Ritchie-Nicholas

“I get to hand out hope for a living! I work with relational issues such as boundaries, pre-marital and marital counseling as well as abuse recovery. I have extensive experience with teenagers and young adults in the areas of depressive disorders, identity issues and managing life's milestones. I also work with dissociative disorders and overcoming trauma. My treatment approach provides support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and change long-standing patterns that have proven self-defeating. With sensitivity and compassion, I help clients find solutions to a wide range of life challenges and psychological issues.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who enjoys educating, assisting and empowering people to achieve their goals and overcome their obstacles. Along with various eclectic ways of providing therapy I am trained in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy through EAGALA where horses are utilized in the process of recovery.

Family Resource Group is dedicated to providing excellent therapuetic services to the community. We are a diverse group of Christians who practice psychotherapy. We are respectful of the spiritual beliefs of individual clients and we integrate sound biblical principles in therapy when it is sought.”
