Nicole Reed is a graduate student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Colorado Christian University and is a member of the Chi Sigma Iota Counseling Honor Society. She earned her Bachelor’s in Psychology, with honors and distinction, from the University of Kansas. She has had many diverse experiences over the course of her husband’s career in the Navy, including living overseas in Japan for two tours. She draws from many of these experiences as she seeks to empathize with her clients. She has a passion for helping adolescents and adults (including those who feel marginalized by society) find healing from traumatic life events. Her passion stems from her own search to understand what it means to be loved despite difficult issues, and it is her Christian faith that serves as the basis for sharing that love so that others might experience it as well. She draws on a variety of theoretical approaches as needed but mostly relies on Internal Family Systems, Existentialism, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive-Behavioral therapies. She is also interested in neuropsychology and the interactions between physical and mental health.
