Hi, I’m Nicole kraus, lcsw

I offer personalized therapy for those navigating the challenges of identity, self-discovery, and the pressures that come with societal norms and expectations.

I have always been drawn to people, and all communicative mediums…

Every individual expresses themselves in unique and meaningful ways—through creativity, humor, movement, or quiet reflection. There is strength and beauty in finding one's voice, especially when that journey feels complicated by a desire for connection, belonging, and can feel challenging in a world that often prioritizes performance over authenticity.

In my practice, I support individuals in their 20s and 30s as they navigate life transitions, deepen self-understanding, build confidence, and strengthen relationships. I am especially passionate about working with those exploring neurodivergence and identity, offering a space for meaningful self-discovery. In addition, I specialize in supporting young adults, children and their caregivers using play-based approaches to nurture emotional growth, address challenges such as anxiety and ADHD, and equip parents with effective tools and strategies.

I operate from the belief that our behaviors are shaped by earlier life experiences, often unconsciously guiding how we navigate the world and our relationships. In our work together, I support clients in uncovering these patterns, fostering greater self-awareness, and building practical skills to promote growth—both personally and in their roles as parents. Sessions are offered in person and via telehealth to ensure flexible, accessible care.

A Little More…

I hold a 200 hr RYT certification and have a special place in my heart for Iggies, especially my little Runa. Beyond my practice, I enjoy running through scenic trails, and hiking in nature's beauty. As your newest hype-woman, I am here to support and encourage you wholeheartedly on your journey of growth and discovery!
