Nicole Smith
She/Her
Nicole
is a therapist at Two Chairs.
Nicole approaches her clinical work from a trauma-informed, gender-affirming, non-judgmental lens. She empowers her clients to overcome their challenges through compassion, radical authenticity, and loving accountability. Nicole is passionate about helping her clients build upon their own strengths, find meaning, and create balance in their lives.
In her spare time, Nicole enjoys spending time outdoors, camping, listening to EDM music, or cooking up a new recipe. She's a "jack of all trades" in the creative arts, often exploring new routes of creative expression for personal enjoyment, never mastering any. Currently, she's enjoying scrap-booking, crocheting, and playing the harp!
