I have over 20 years experience in counseling and have worked with a diverse range of people and problems. I have a laid back, empathetic approach and will listen - not judge. Let's develop strategies to get through today, but also to build a foundation to be better equipped to handle tomorrow. I'm experienced in working with depression, anxiety, bipolar, grief, addictions, aging & disability issues, LGBTQIA+ , work & relationship issues. My undergraduate degree is in sociology & psychology, and I have a master's in social work. I will listen and give support, and if you need some honest, constructive feedback about your issues, I'm ready. I want to help you create healthier boundaries and build the confidence to express yourself fully. As a social worker I am trained to look at the big picture: how we all affect each other, including our friends & family., our workplace & our community, & even the larger world. I understand the need for social justice and diversity. We need to work together to solve problems. But before we can fully do that, we need to work on ourselves.

Nick is an amazing therapist. I've been on quite a few messaging sessions with him, and he makes me feel much better about myself. It can be tough to find someone to talk to, that knows what you're going through. My experience with better help has been nothing short of amazing.

Nicholas Brush is one of the best therapists I have come across. I honestly could even say he is the best. I have felt nothing but relief during my duration of communicating with him. He has numerous methods to help you discern and organize all your thoughts and asks questions to encourage you to dive deeper. I walked into his sessions truthfully feeling hopeless in life and I will be leaving his sessions with newfound passion and confidence that I have never felt before. Nick really helped me out and I encourage everyone to find a therapist just like him! Thank you so much Nick for that you have helped me with.
