About the Founder

Welcome! My name is Nicole (she/her) and I am the Founder of Arriving Full Circle, a telehealth therapy practice for women by women.

Raised in the vibrant tapestry of Queens, New York, within a family rich in diversity and culture, my journey has been deeply influenced by the complexities of our backgrounds and upbringings. Surrounded by the resilience and grace of women from varied walks of life, I've always been inspired by their strength, intellect, and emotional depth. However, stepping into motherhood several years ago revealed a different reflection of myself—one shadowed by doubt and anxiety. This personal struggle led me down a path of healing, enabling me to reclaim my strength and consciously shape my life's direction. I still have to remind myself that life is a journey and not a destination. Now, most days, I am enjoying the journey instead of bracing for it.

I am a NYS Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Therapist, Coach, and Clinical Supervisor. Since 2008, I have counseled and supported children, adults, and families throughout New York State, within every system including hospitals, schools, criminal legal system, and privately. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Social Work from Long Island University, C.W. Post and my Master of Science degree in Clinical Social Work at New York University.

Specialties

We are passionate about engaging women who are curious about themselves, the unconscious patterns that are driving behavior, the traumas that influence our relationships, and the systems that inevitably impact our collective and individual experiences. Once we better understand ourselves and our nature, we can learn new skills, habits, and ways of being. We have significant experience working with those with histories of depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, family conflict, relationship issues, and dysregulation.

Therapeutic Approaches

Therapy is the vehicle. You are the driver. Healing is a journey and requires investment and openness to discover your blind spots.

Below are some approaches that I bring into my healing practice:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

  • Psychodynamic

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI)
