Nicole Lambert (LMHC)

My name is Nicole Lambert and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Nationally Certified Counselor who specializes in working with anxiety, depression, athletes and those who live an active lifestyle, or those who want to begin to live a more active one but something seems to be getting in their way, and those struggling with body image issues/self-esteem issues. I work with young adults, middle age adults, and older adults. I also work with a wide range of individuals who wish to improve their mental and emotional health. My therapeutic approach and style is very eclectic. First and foremost, the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is one of the most important factors in predicting the amount of change and progress that will take place. I take time to develop the relationship with each and every client. I believe that each individual can benefit most from a different approach that is tailored to them and their needs, and I begin from a client-centered approach. I believe in “walking alongside” the client throughout the therapy process. I believe that the client is the expert in their own problems and the therapist is there to guide the client to finding solutions and empower them. I encourage clients to focus on the here and now, and overcoming barriers that hinder them from moving forward. However, I also believe that making connections to the past can be helpful in gaining insight into their current situation. Lastly, I encourage clients to engage in a type of exercise that fits their lifestyle. My approach includes the use of: Cognitive Behavior Therapy skills and techniques Interpersonal Therapy Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills and techniques Behavioral Interventions Insight-Oriented Therapy Relational-Cultural Theory Reality Feed-Back Narrative Therapy Existentialism I strive to help individuals find a balance between their emotional, mental, and physical health. I am here to encourage and empower you to work towards the life that you want. I am extremely passionate about finding a balance between physical, emotional, and mental health. I believe that everyone deserves to be healthy and happy in all realms, and they deserve to feel comfortable in their own skin. I’d love to learn more about you and learn how I can help!

A German Shepherd, a lab and shepherd mix, and a Doberman. I recently started running with the Doberman (he’ll be 2 in October), and let’s just say that my pace has definitely quickened! He’s very eager to get wherever it is our runs take us. Also, you’d never know, but I’m half Ukrainian. Growing up I was in all sorts of Ukrainian groups activities, including a Ukrainian Dance Ensemble.
