Hello all! My name is Sara and I'm an intern here at State of Mind. I am currently pursuing my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Wilmington University, where I also earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology. I became a counselor because I have a deep appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit and a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. I have experience working with individuals who are dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and self-esteem issues. My therapeutic approach is person-centered, which means I believe that you are the expert on your own life. Together, we will work to uncover your strengths, overcome obstacles, and help you become the best, most authentic version of yourself. I integrate a variety of techniques into my practice, including cognitive behavioral therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness.

Hello! My name is Nicole, and I am a graduate-level counselor intern. My approach to counseling is rooted in humanistic principles, and I integrate a range of techniques that best meet your unique needs. My style is compassionate and collaborative as I come alongside you on your journey. My goal is to provide you with a safe harbor— a space where you can regroup, find clarity, and gain the tools you need to thrive. Life can be challenging in so many ways, and we all need a place where we can truly be ourselves, feel heard and understood, and, oftentimes, heal. Healing looks different for everyone, and in our work together, it may involve embracing your authentic self, releasing what no longer serves you, and connecting with what nourishes and sustains you. I work with teens and adults of all ages and have supported individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, grief, anger management, and more. I am dedicated to ongoing growth in this field, continually honing my skills to better support my clients. It would be an honor and a privilege to work with you.
