Nicole Ciavarella

Mental health Practitioner

Hello! I am a Masters Level Counseling Practitioner under the supervision of Jessica Van Berkum. My guiding principle is to empower clients to identify their needs and equip them with practical strategies to fulfill those needs. My passion is to cultivate a nurturing environment for emotional exploration, guiding individuals toward self-discovery, authenticity, and enhanced resilience against mental health challenges.

I offer specialized support for adults and teens (13+) grappling with anxiety and depression. Specifically, I focus on aiding young adults and teens as they navigate life transitions, relationship hurdles, and unhealthy thought/ behavioral patterns. By helping them recognize and address their needs, I empower clients to cope more effectively. Additionally, I work with couples to enhance communication and deepen mutual understanding. 

I employ relational principles, analyzing your history to understand current patterns and challenge unhelpful behaviors. Additionally, I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance commitment therapy (ACT) to aid you in confronting negative thought patterns on your journey to growth.

Nicole is available at our St. Paul and White Bear Lake locations.
