Experience:
Nicole has worked in the behavioral health field for over 20 years in community and inpatient treatment centers, encompassing all levels of care. She began working in case management and assessment and moved on to community crisis services as a 302 delegate and community crisis worker. These areas of service were a beneficial transition to a position as an Adolescent and Family Therapist at an inpatient treatment facility and a Mobile Therapist/Behavioral Specialist in the community, where she gained her experience towards earning her License in Professional Counseling. After receiving her license, in addition to her work as a Mobile Therapist, she also worked as a Counselor for Upward Bound. This is a program for high school students who are the first in their family to attend college. The program helps prepare students for post secondary education. During this time, she worked toward gaining the training and educational requirements for her certification in Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy incorporates Mindfulness and skill training to assist individuals in gaining balance and inner peace. Prior to opening the centre, she was a Clinical Supervisor and Outpatient Therapist for a community outpatient counseling practice.
Nicole uses a holistic approach in her own life and finds it important to incorporate this into her treatment approach. She started meditating as a sophomore in college and has since used meditation in her daily life for inner connectedness and peace. In addition, she is an energy worker through the use of Reiki, intuitive healing, essential oils, and crystals to assist in balancing and unblocking the Chakra systems. She has been practicing energy work for many years and has her Master Certification in Usui/Holy Fire Reiki. She has a passion for the field and helping others. Often in her work with others, she encourages them to develop a wellness toolbox by taking part in various wellness services to meet their health and wellness needs. This lead to her vision for Serenity Wellness Centre. She wanted to develop a center that would offer an array of therapeutic techniques, allowing individuals to have a true mind-body healing experience. Through workshops and classes, the centre offers a wellness community for healing, connecting, and learning.
In addition, Nicole has her certification in Subtle Aromatherapy. This is what she uses when developing Serenity Scents Essential Oil Roll on Blends. Learn more here.. http://www.serenitywellnesscentre.com/store/c2/Serenity_Scents_Essential_Oil_Roll-on_Blends.html
