Hello, First and foremost, congratulations on taking this step to work on you. Starting therapy can be intimidating but together we can reach your therapeutic goals. I have my doctorate degree in counseling, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 17 years of clinical mental health experience. I am a solution focused and strengths-based clinician. I help clients to identify and focus on their strengths in order to navigate the various challenges of life. I work with individuals and families dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, marital issues, parenting challenges, divorce and life transitions. If you are dealing with any of these issues or if you are unsure of what exactly you are dealing with and just want to talk, please reach out to me. I do have additional opening with scheduling live sessions but I do ask that you touch bases with me prior to scheduling a live session so that we can agree on a time slot that works for the both of us. I look forward to working with you and I wish you the best. ~ Nichole

Rowna Showghi
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing Psychotherapy & Coaching Services. I have worked as a Mental Health Professional for the past 18 years. I have experience supporting others while working in Child Welfare, Psychiatric Research, Crisis Intervention/Counseling, Active Duty Military, In/Outpatient Therapy, & Hospice. I am delighted to work with those seeking TeleHealth Services & feel so thankful this outlet exists, especially in this uncertain time of an International Pandemic. I specialize in Client-Centered & Solution-Focused Therapies while striving to help achieve a sense of Empowerment for my clients. My practice is based on the premise that all human systems are interconnected. An example would be a person's chronic pain exacerbating their level of anxiousness. Often the anxiety we experience also agitates our pain level. It proves challenging to discern which came first when both are heightened. The more we learn & know about ourselves, the easier it is to know "what to do". My goal is to aid in that process & then work towards what works best to put into routine in effort to have a fulfilling, & high, overall quality of life. I am very much looking forward to working with you & am hopeful we can work together to achieve your goals!
