Nicole Rod is the owner and psychotherapist of Chrysalis to Wings Counseling. I specialize in brain-based differences, including ADHD and autism. I also have experience with trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use/abuse, housing instability, intimate partner violence, and chronic health conditions. I have been trained in CBT, DBT, ACT, and BSFT, as well as Brainspotting and parts work. You are not a malfunctioning human! Navigating the world with a brain that works differently can be difficult, even traumatic. Therapy is most effective when you can bring your authentic self and build genuine trust; it is nearly impossible to make sustainable gains when you are masking or feel misunderstood. I work eclectically, selecting interventions based on my client, and implement them in a neurodiversity-affirming manner. This allows me to meet you where you are and encourages you to embrace your identity and work with your brain, not against it. As a neurodivergent clinician, I have lived experience and understand the unique challenges of receiving quality mental health care. Whatever the specific challenge that compelled your search, we will work together, identifying skills, tools, and resources to support you and help you move forward with confidence and self-compassion. I welcome clients of all identity. C OFFICE LOCATION: 5353 west Dartmouth avenue Denver CO 80227
