Leigh Nicoll

Professional Intern (She/Her), Serving Binghamton, NY.

Although I am at the beginning of my career as a mental health counselor, I have many years of experience in helping professions and roles where I have been a mentor and teacher, supporting growth and development of people of all ages. I am passionate about supporting clients of any age through challenges like the effects of trauma, depression, anxiety, and coping strategies and skills for people with unique, neurodivergent minds. I employ a range of styles of therapy, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, person-centered therapy, psychoanalytic shadow work, play therapy for younger clients, and other methods that are proven to be effective, tailored to the unique needs of my clients.

I will work with you to develop clear, actionable steps to help you meet your mental health goals. In our sessions, and I will teach, guide, and support you as you take these steps. I will not only be someone you can talk to about your problems in a safe, accepting, and comfortable environment, but also, I will guide, encourage, and support you as you overcome your challenges, learn about unhealthy behaviors and thought patterns, develop your strengths, and gain practical and effective strategies to conquer the mental health issues that have been holding you back.
