Meet Nicole: The Quiet Strength Behind Big Breakthroughs

Meet Nicole: The Quiet Strength Behind Big Breakthroughs

LCSW, Therapist, Professional Hope Dealer

Before she was a licensed therapist, before the award-winning career, before the 20+ years of social service—Nicole Kelley was a Girl Scout who discovered her superpower early: making people feel safe enough to speak up.

What started with community service and a clipboard evolved into a calling to make mental health care more accessible for those who need it most. And she’s been walking that path with purpose ever since.

Nicole blends clinical expertise with an unshakable calm. Whether she’s helping someone unpack a lifetime of anxiety or navigate a new ADHD diagnosis, her sessions are built on trust, tools, and a belief that you can feel better—even if it hasn’t felt possible before.

Her toolbox includes CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing (read: the science-backed stuff that actually works). But what truly sets her apart? Her ability to hold space for your hard days without flinching—while gently guiding you toward the version of yourself you’ve been fighting for.

When she’s not in session, you’ll probably find Nicole laid out on a picnic blanket in the park, lost in a suspense novel and soaking up a quiet moment. That’s kind of her vibe: calm, grounded, and always ready to help you write your next chapter—this time, with more peace in it.

Nicole’s message to you?

“Sometimes, you just need to talk. I’m here when you’re ready.”
