Nick Weidell, LMHCA

My goal as your counselor is to help you move toward what matters most to you and build a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. At times, our emotions and thoughts can feel overwhelming or even controlling, pulling us in directions we don’t want to go. When this happens, we may begin to believe that we are incapable of making changes or achieving the things that are important to us. I want to help you create space from those difficult thoughts and emotions, develop greater confidence in yourself, and reconnect with the life you value.

My approach is grounded primarily in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on developing psychological flexibility—the ability to remain present with difficult thoughts and emotions while still choosing actions that align with your values.  I also strive to be a validating and compassionate witness to whatever challenges you choose to bring into therapy.

I also utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process and heal from traumatic experiences. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes at your own pace.

Outside of my clinical work, I consider myself a lifelong learner. I enjoy exploring psychology, mythology, traditional teachings, and the natural world. These interests continue to shape my curiosity about the many ways people find meaning, resilience, connection, and purpose in their lives.
