Hello, my name is Nicole M. Thweatt, PhD, LMHC.  I am a licensed mental health counselor who earned my Master’s Degree in counseling and psychology from Troy State University and Doctorate Degree in general psychology from Capella University.  I have a passion for conducting research, specifically on areas linked to aggression and attachment.

I have been providing individual psychotherapeutic services to children and adolescents ages 4-17 and adults ages 18-64 for 14 years.  Additional therapeutic services I offer include family and couples counseling, domestic violence awareness, conflict resolution and assertive communication skill training, anger management,  parent support, social skill enhancement, and mental health evaluations.  Over the course of 14 years in the mental health field, I have experience working with domestic violence victims, family conflict, child welfare matters, divorce, trauma-related incidents,  childhood mental illness, behavioral and adjustment issues, post-partum depression,  depressive and mood disorders, as well as anxiety.

The main therapeutic approaches I tend to utilize in sessions are cognitive-behavioral, brief-solution focused, and psycho-education.  However, each session conducted will be personalized to fit your needs once an individualized treatment plan is established, which will take place at our first session.

The most significant goal I wish to help others with is to improve overall psychological,  behavioral,  social, and developmental health, so that a more flourishing life can be lived and maintained.  Every human being was meant to thrive and deserves to reach this destination.
