Hi, I'm Nicole, and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working with clients for over 12 years. I have served clients in community mental health, residential care, outpatient services, and private practice settings, as well as supervising unlicensed clinicians on their own career paths. I work with grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal relational issues, and life transitions.
Life is ever-evolving, and sometimes we need a partner to help us navigate its changing tides. Together, we will focus on building your resilience and capacity for whatever comes next. Our work is practical and action-oriented; we'll identify tangible coping skills you can apply to your daily life, while working to shift negative self-talk into a more supportive mindset. I believe the best work happens in an environment of trust, which is why I always welcome feedback and invite a spirit of shared accountability in our sessions.
I specialize in working with women and parents navigating major life transitions. This includes those dealing with pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, infertility, and pregnancy loss. I also work with clients processing birth-related trauma or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and identity shifts.

I have been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, working with individuals and couples for over 25 years.

Hi! My name is Valerie Taber (she/her/hers), and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in Redlands, CA (SoCal). I am part of the LGBTQIA+ community, am gender-affirming and neurodivergence-affirming, and tend to do therapy from a framework of feminism, racial justice/equity, and body neutrality/fat-positive perspectives. My specialties include working with parenting issues, LGBTQ+ issues and adult neurodivergence.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety and depression, including overthinking, low motivation, feeling overwhelmed, and a loss of interest in daily life. Many come in feeling mentally exhausted or stuck in patterns that aren’t working.

My passion for psychology comes from a place of wanting to listen, understand and empower change. As we build a trusting relationship my approach is collaborative and proactive.
