It is human to struggle, to feel at times we have lost our way. To feel sad, stuck, angry, or afraid. Life can be hard and achingly beautiful. It is rich with complexity and it is sacred. We all need support in navigating life’s challenges and in slowing down. To take the time to be with the tender parts of ourselves that are longing for love and care. In a culture that privileges constant doing and achievement, it can be empowering and healing to cultivate a sense of inherent worth and value. To take time to play and create and to feel into experiences of wonder and awe, to truly enjoy the pleasures of being alive.

Working in college settings and community behavioral health fields for over 20 years, I am interested in working with adults for adjustment issues, career exploration, parenting, Self-identity, and mental health issues, ie, anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, co-occurring, and substance use problems. My passion is to provide a gentle yet deep healing work to clients who seek to improve their attachment wounds, adverse childhood experiences, and/or any life events. I work with Mandarin speaking clients, Asian Americans, immigrants, and people who struggle with acculturation. I also enjoy working with college and graduate students.

I believe psychotherapy is a mutual journey between the therapist and the client. Though the waters can be rough, the adventure can be exciting and rewarding. It is an opportunity for the client to create a different way of being in the world and discover new narratives of their personal story. Whether depression, addiction, relational, or crisis, we will unpack the problem and find a solution. Specialized in trauma work with mindfulness and EMDR.

I've been in private practice for over thirty years. I believe therapy is mostly about the relationship between the therapist and client. I feel change happens when a person finally feels safe enough to express their deepest fears and dreams, their childhood experiences and current struggles. I try to provide a comfortable environment for my clients so that they can be free to be authentic.

I have some limited availability in-person or through Zoom. I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy at some point in their lives. Whether you struggle with persistent, troubling thoughts or feelings, are overwhelmed by events that are out of your control or just want to get in touch with a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in your life, therapy can help. In my practice, I provide a safe space where the struggles of daily life can be explored, old wounds can be healed and opportunities for growth and change can be uncovered.

Do other therapists not understand your sexual preferences? Are you struggling to connect with others or your partner? Are you satisfied? Our culture features sex everywhere, but we don't or often can't talk about it. Sex is a complicated part of our lives- encompassing culture, religion, self esteem, time; the list goes on. Let me help you find yourself and increase pleasure and satisfaction in all aspects of your life! www.Nicolettavheidegger.com

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to experience an awareness of yourself and the obstacles that hinder your emotional growth and connection to others. In this courageous journey, the match between you and your therapist is essential. I view our work as an important collaborative journey and welcome all of your experiences.

I am a trauma specialist working with developmental, relational, and shock traumas. Relationship is what we long for from our deep selves. From birth, our instinct is to connect in order to feel safety, comfort, and wholeness. This yearning moves with us throughout our lives. Connection gives us a sense of belonging and of being "okay". Be it the relationship with self, body, others, and life experience, the connection and flow of it is vital for healthy functioning. When the connection is blocked, frozen, or severed, a whole-self cannot thrive. Reconnecting is essential for our authentic self-expressions.

Finding clarity that aligns with your heart, body and mind can be hard. Feeling stuck in those dark chapters of life can bring up difficulty with productivity, isolation and loneliness. Periods of transition will come and go; it's how we handle them that matters. Counseling can help! For more info, visit my Yelp Page: Nicole Nowparvar, LCSW.

Our lives revolve around relationships. The relationship with oneself, family and others can deeply affect our emotions and how we interact with the world around us. In our work together, I foster a safe space in which we can begin to process and understand what's at the root of your troubles. Life is so fast-paced, and I offer an environment in which you can slow down, get in touch with your needs and chart a path forward. I am anchored in a psychodynamic approach, integrating emotionally focused therapy, attachment theory, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and other modalities based on clients’ needs.
