Meet Julia! She is a practicum student at the University of Kentucky, currently training in clinical social work. You can expect enthusiastic support while working with her in a client-centered environment where you're safe to unravel the thoughts you've been carrying alone.
Julia believes therapy is not one-size-fits-all so she tailors her approach to fit your individual needs. Julia usually works with evidence-based practices such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Humanistic Theory and is happy to use alternative theories if she believes it's a better fit!  

With experience as a victim advocate, she has worked extensively with adolescents and families affected by trauma. Her particular passion lies in assisting clients with body image issues, relationship issues and the process of rediscovering yourself after a turbulent upbringing.

In Julia's downtime, she recharges with roadtrips, swimming and cuddling her cats Biscuit and Muffin! Julia is here to cheer you on!

Hello! My name is Nicole, and I’m a Master of Social Work practicum student currently completing my clinical training at Kinder Mind. I’m passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where individuals can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences at their own pace.
My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and respect for each person’s unique journey. I strive to meet clients where they are, drawing from evidence-based practices while being mindful of each person’s cultural background, strengths, and goals. I’m particularly interested in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and stress.

As a practicum student, I bring a fresh perspective, a strong commitment to ethical care, and a deep desire to learn and grow alongside my clients. I’m honored to be part of your healing journey and look forward to supporting you through this chapter of your life.

I am a Licensed BSW and current MSW student completing my practicum with Kinder Mind. Having lived across the U.S., I have worked with diverse populations addressing depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, trauma, and various life challenges. My therapy style is warm, collaborative, and straightforward.
I am passionate about supporting individuals who are ready to bring intentionality to their therapeutic journey. I work with clients from all backgrounds who are motivated to create meaningful change in their lives. Whether you're an athlete, military member, student, parent, or anyone seeking growth, I value the drive and commitment you bring to this process.

My approach integrates your existing strengths into the therapeutic process. I provide feedback that is clear, constructive, and compassionate. I believe it takes courage to work toward the life you want, and I am committed to supporting, challenging, and encouraging clients with honesty and compassion every step of the way.
