Nicole Schade, LMSW

If you’re struggling with self-esteem, disordered eating, anxiety, depression, or the lasting effects of trauma or difficult relationships, you’re not alone. I work with women and young adults who may feel overwhelmed by self-criticism, disconnected from their bodies, or stuck in patterns they want to change.

Many of the individuals I support are recovering from eating disorders, processing trauma or experiences of domestic violence, or navigating life transitions that have impacted their confidence and emotional well-being. Often, clients come to therapy wanting to feel more at peace with themselves, build a healthier relationship with their bodies, and develop the tools to move forward with greater clarity and self-compassion.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I integrate evidence-based therapies such as EMDR, CBT, DBT, ACT, Lifespan Integration, and mindfulness-based approaches to support healing and lasting change. As a certified yoga instructor, I also incorporate somatic and mind–body practices when helpful, helping clients reconnect with their bodies and regulate their nervous systems in a safe and supportive way.

My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels steady and sustainable as you develop healthier coping strategies, and move toward a life that feels more balanced and aligned.
