About Nicole Badar & Solace Counseling
Hi! Thank you for stopping by! My name is Nicole Badar, and I am a LCSW. When you come to therapy with me, I hope to help you feel validated, and strong enough to do the work to get to a place of healing. I believe people need much less judgement, and much more acceptance. If you feel strong and brave, you will be able to move towards goals you have only dreamed of before.

Therpay with a Holistic Approach
I am I glad you’re considering therapy! It isn’t an easy decision to make, and finding the right therapist is vital. I’m guessing you’ve done your fair share of debating, trying self-help, and searching for the right solution. Perhaps now you know you need to talk to someone else, find some validation, and someone who isn’t already involved. Maybe you’ve even tried therapy and found it wasn’t for you, it wasn’t the right time, or the therapist wasn’t the right fit for you. Wherever you are in your journey, I hope to be that support that you’ve been looking for. You will find my therapy style is very relaxed yet progress-driven. It will be a safe place to share feelings that you may not feel comfortable sharing elsewhere. My goal is to help you feel well enough to work towards your goals. Together, we can help you get through obstacles, and to a place where you feel more joy, happiness, or even just a feeling of “normal” rather than stressed or depressed.
If this feels right to you, come and join me!
