About Nicole
Nicole Wright is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with twenty years in social work and mental health services. She began her career working in grassroots politics and criminal justice case management, which motivated her to pursue clinical social work. Nicole focuses on helping people who are facing grief, depression, major life changes, and struggles around intimacy and career direction.
Her early training included internships at a government housing agency and a Veterans Affairs hospital, where she provided individual therapy and psychoeducational classes. After graduate school she worked in an inpatient setting treating both substance use and mental health concerns, and later served as a medical social worker in a primary care clinic. Those roles involved meeting patients at appointments, visiting homes, and helping with hospital and skilled nursing discharge planning.
Through community mental health work, Nicole learned how physical health, caregiving responsibilities, and social isolation affect emotional wellbeing. She has supported people coping with caregiver stress, cancer, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the emotional fallout of divorce and separation. She emphasizes dignity and respect as the foundation for any meaningful change.
Nicole invites people who feel overwhelmed by shame, hopelessness, or loneliness to process past hurts and rebuild self-worth. She talks plainly about how grief and trauma can drain joy and interrupt self-care, and she helps people find ways to reconnect with others and trust their own voice.
Her style is accepting and encouraging, without judgment about religion, sexual orientation, or lifestyle. She describes therapy as a collaborative process that calls for determination, and she offers steady support while clients work toward clearer purpose and healthier relationships.
