Nicol Grim,

Hello and welcome! I am Nicol Grim, LSW (she/her), a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) who counsels people age six and older.

Healing and Growth

I am here to support you on your journey toward healing, growth, and well-being. With more than 25 years of experience working with individuals facing a variety of challenges—whether it’s life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, or navigating life’s stressors—I am dedicated to creating a safe, compassionate space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions. 

My Techniques in Therapy

Using your unique needs and goals as the foundation for therapy, I’ll work from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Positive Psychology, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT-Informed), Solution Focused Brief Treatment (SFBT) and Motivational Interviewing to help you better understand yourself and develop the tools you need to lead a more fulfilling life. 

Working Together

I know that deciding to engage in therapy is a big decision. My goal is to really come alongside you as you navigate through your own journey. My approach is collaborative, and I believe in tailoring therapy to fit your unique needs, values, and goals. I’m here to listen, understand, and work with you at your pace. Therapy is a personal journey, and I am honored to be a part of yours.

Some of the reasons you can request counseling with me include caregiver stress, therapy for children, family dynamics & conflict, teens, young adults, ADHD, anger, attachment issues, autism, behavioral issues, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, LGBTQIA+, domestic abuse, health and wellness goals, infidelity, ODD, parenting, postpartum/perinatal, self-harm, self-esteem, sleep problems, sexual abuse, sports performance, stress, suicidal ideation, systemic structure, and trauma and PTSD.

My Education and Background

When I obtained my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Boston University, I had no idea where social work would take me, but I have loved and learned from every step in my journey. Much of my experience has been working in community mental health, doing both individual and group work with children, adolescents, and families, which is extremely rewarding to me. 

I am also passionate about continued professional learning and growth so I can stay current as the research and data helps identify new methods and interventions that can benefit each person I work with. I know it’s essential to meet you where you are and use my experience to help you.  I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.  

About Me

Outside of work time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, getting outdoors as much as possible, and being active. I also love to read, travel, and explore new places and activities. Being able to care for myself helps me to better be present and focused during my work time.
