Art Therapy in Duluth, MN

Change can be difficult, but some of our most difficult times can be our greatest opportunities for growth and healing. Therapy is a place to gather tools that help you identify your feelings, better understand yourself, and manage uncomfortable emotions. I aim to create an empathetic and trusting environment and relationship in which you can feel safe, seen, heard, and respected to discover areas of yourself that need of healing. I am a recent graduate from Southwestern College-Santa Fe with a master’s degree in art therapy and counseling, working towards my independent licensure.

Zack prioritizes a relationship-focused, client-centered approach to therapy; relationships with others and with ourselves have the largest impact on our mental well-being. Drawing on the client's strengths and resilience, Zack will build a strong therapeutic relationship. "My hope is clients recognize their strengths, and value what makes them so special during and after our time together is complete". "I look forward to being a part of someone's healing/growth journey and being a helpful resource along the way that inspires hope within people's lives".

I have many years of experience in human services; including the fields of mental health, social services, education, medicine and crisis intervention. I have worked with a variety of populations; urban and rural, racial and ethnic, cultural and religious, age and socio economic level. I have done counseling with children, adolescents, families and individuals. I have skills in crisis intervention, diagnosis and assessment, short term counseling, and group work. I have worked in the areas of sexual and domestic violence, serious and persistent mental illness, chronic pain and disease issues. I help clients adjust and cope with life changing events.

I work with clients by offering psychotherapy integrated with art-making and/or evidence-based practices (CBT, DBT, Solution Focused, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness). Together, we creatively explore your feelings, thoughts, relationships, and set goals. Treatment can address: anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, relationships, or other stress-related issues. Past traumas and adverse events create negative self-beliefs that are maladaptive and impact each of us presently. Through a non-judgmental and compassionate lens, I hope to work with you and begin the process of healing creatively.

Nicole is a firm believer that trauma and addiction go hand and hand. "It too effects our bodies. A lot of times clients are unaware of that early in their recovery, and they have been using substances to cope for years. I am driven to teach my clients about the mind body connection by the teaching and exploring of somatics, negative thoughts, unconventional coping skills, i.e., such as breathworks, and by exploring safety and its meaning within themselves. Seeing other people's light shine again and finding themselves is the fuel to why I do this healing work."
