Nicole Scotto is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 7 years of clinical psychotherapy experience. With a passion for all around wellness, Nicole works from an understanding that mental, physical and spiritual health are interconnected, and therefore, works with clients using a therapeutic approach to address all aspects of their well-being. 

Nicole has experience working with a diverse population of adults, children , couples and families who are working through various issues such as  anxiety, depression, substance abuse, life adjustments , family issues ,existential crises and many others. Nicole offers traditional psychotherapy sessions utilizing a very client-centered approach that is uniquely crafted for each individual and their specific needs. She uses a variety of counseling techniques such as CBT, DBT and solution focused therapy to meet the needs of each individual client. Nicole provides a safe, non judgemental and supportive environment to explore potential avenues for healing. 

Nicole is also a certified Functional Nutrition & Health Coach. In addition to traditional psychotherapy sessions, Nicole also offers health and/or functional nutrition coaching sessions (with or without psychotherapy sessions). These sessions focus on setting personalized, realistic goals to help individuals reach their maximum potential in terms of health and/or nutrition. Coaching sessions help you to achieve personal growth and maximize your potential in your daily life. These sessions may focus on topics such as habit building, time management, weight loss, customized nutrition planning, fitness, confidence building and/or life skills. Nicole also specializes in creating customized healing protocols for individuals struggling with autoimmune disorders and is a certified Autoimmune Protocol Coach. 

In addition to the above licenses and certifications, Nicole is also a Certified Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist. One of her specialties in this area is preparation and integration sessions for clients who are using alternative treatment methods such as ketamine, psilocybin, traditional plant medicines or psychedelics.  Nicole operates under the premise that these alternative treatments provide an opportunity and gateway to healing as they help our brains form new connections and break old patterns. However, the real work and success of these treatments lie in the preparation and intention of the treatment as well as in the integration phase (intgrating new connections, emotions and insights after treatments; which can also maximize neurochemical changes and make new neural connections stronger and more permanent). Nicole offers preparation, guided treatment sessions as well as integration sessions to help clients make the most of their treatments.  

Nicole provides an individualized, traditional, yet holistic approach to healing. Each client will be given a customized treatment plan based on their history and goals for theapy. Nicole  often combines facets from all of her expertise and training to help individuals reach their healthiest and happiest potential.
