Nicole Pietrafesa, LMSW, is a warm and compassionate therapist who provides a supportive space for children, adolescents, and adults to explore their emotions, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change. She helps clients work through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions with empathy and respect for each person’s unique story.
Nicole blends creativity and mindfulness into her sessions, often using art and play therapy techniques to help clients express themselves and connect more deeply with their experiences. Her style is gentle, grounding, and collaborative, encouraging clients to build self-awareness, confidence, and emotional balance at their own pace.
Rooted in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing, Nicole tailors each session to fit the needs and goals of the individual. She believes that healing happens when clients feel safe to rediscover their strengths and reconnect with their sense of joy, creativity, and self-compassion, guiding each person toward greater confidence, balance, and meaningful change.
