✨ Hi there, I’m Nicole Bakewell, MS, LMHC, NCC – your local (and virtual!) mental health counselor.
My family has called this county home since 1989, and I’ve watching it grow from the two-lane stretch of 54 to the thriving community it is today. I have been with my husband for 22 years, I am a mom of two school-ages, and dog-mom to a 65-pound goldendoodle who’s convinced she’s a lap dog.
Therapy isn’t just my career – it’s my calling. My own journey led me here, with a heart for helping people through anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life’s big transitions. At the core, I wanted to become the hand to hold when life feels heavy or dark.
When I’m not in session, you’ll probably find me teaching Sunday School, helping at my kids’ school, or lending a hand to a neighbor. Service to others is just who I am – whether in the therapy chair or out in the community.
I know starting therapy can feel scary. That’s why I work hard to create a safe, sacred space where you’re respected and supported. I’m straightforward but compassionate – and while I may not be everyone’s perfect match, I’ll always connect you with trusted local resources if I’m not the right fit.
💡 If you’ve been thinking about therapy, now is the perfect time to start – especially before the holiday season sneaks up. Most of us therapists have openings right now, so you can likely get started within days.
If you’d like to explore whether therapy is right for you (with me or someone else), I’d be honored to talk.
