Nicole Mayo-Gowell
LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker | Owner
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience providing mental health services to children, adolescents, and adults. I have worked with individuals experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, behavioral challenges, and life transitions.
My approach integrates evidence-based psychotherapy, behavioral interventions, mindfulness, and psychoeducation to help clients build resilience, develop effective coping skills, and achieve their personal goals. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their therapeutic journey.
Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of settings, including community mental health, early intervention, residential treatment, and school-based counseling. These experiences have provided me with a broad understanding of the unique needs of individuals and families across the lifespan.
I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative and built on a strong therapeutic relationship. My style is warm, genuine, and nonjudgmental. I strive to meet each client where they are, helping them feel comfortable, understood, and supported as we work together toward meaningful and lasting change.

Erica Golia, LPCA
LPCA - Licensed Professional Counselor Associate
Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I believe therapy is a place where you can be yourself, feel heard without judgment, and find support through life’s challenges.
I work with children, teens, and adults who are struggling with anxiety, substance use and recovery, major life transitions, emotional challenges, ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence, as well as questions about identity or finding purpose. My approach is collaborative and personalized, meaning we’ll work together to better understand what’s been keeping you stuck and develop practical tools that fit your life and goals.
My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, build confidence, strengthen resilience, and make meaningful, lasting changes. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, trying to heal from difficult experiences, or simply looking for a greater sense of balance and direction, I’m here to walk alongside you on that journey.
