"Hi! I'm Nicholas Lauderdale, LMHC of Reframe Counseling here in Washington state. If you've been hesitant to try therapy or feel like your past therapist didn't "get" you, odds are you might enjoy working with me. As a neurodivergent (and LGBTQIA) individual myself, part of my goal in providing therapy is helping people to feel heard as their most authentic selves (which sometimes involves describing their frustrations in relation to their favorite sport, video game, or anime). My approach heavily involves Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on building mental flexibility and helping you make choices that align with what truly matters to you. I am also certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)."
