Hi, my name is Nicole O’Brien, LPC. I live in North Idaho. I can relate that walking through life can be and at times is very difficult because of the issues that each of us faces on a daily basis. Sometimes we are faced with not knowing which way to go or even knowing who to turn to when we are faced with difficulties. Truly listening to a client and providing a safe environment for them to feel comfortable about sharing their lives is what I strive to provide for them. I want them to know that I am there for them, I want to know who they are as a person, and I want to hear about their issues and work together to process them. I offer individual, couples, family/group counseling, and addiction counseling. The counseling techniques I utilize are based upon Cognitive-Behavioral, Emotion Focused and Brief Solution-Focused Theories. I specialize in working with adults, couples, children and adolescents along with their families that have experienced trauma or addiction. By looking for help you have already taken that first important step to achieving the goals of finding help for yourself. I look forward to walking with you on your life's journey and provide a welcoming atmosphere to not only be yourself, and to know that you have a safe place to come to.
