The Universe brought Lin my way, at a very low point in my life. Though I had been in therapy for many years, I had come to the point of giving up on anyone understanding what I was needing. Social anxiety had me cut off from almost everyone, and in our first session, I basically told her I didn’t trust her and didn’t see hope for anything getting better. I also said that I was tired of therapists focusing in on my diagnosis instead of helping me learn how to trust. She took that to heart, and thus began my miraculous journey with her. I’ve healed so much of the past trauma that I’m not the same person anymore. She was able to look behind all my fears and show me my strengths and give me the tools to find my own belief in myself. I finally love me. What can be better than that? I am so grateful to Lin for being the inspirational guide to helping me find life. Thank You Dr. Lin.

A few years ago, I was in an unhappy marriage and miserable. A friend recommended that I call Dr Lin Nicolas. Before calling, I checked out her website. The very first sentence on her site said she has "30+ years experience helping people find their true selves". Wow did that strike a nerve and it described exactly how I had been feeling for awhile - I had lost my true self. My self-esteem, my normally joyful positive attitude, and my confidence had disappeared. I did not trust my own intuition regarding what was happening, and I needed some guidance. So I picked up the phone and made an appointment with Dr. Lin. What a life altering experience that was! Over several private as well as couples sessions, Dr. Lin helped me get very clear on who I am and what I wanted in life. I deserved to be happy again, as we all do. She gave me the tools, the support and the confidence to make that happen. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Dr. Lin!

You possess a brilliant combination of intellect, intuitiveness and empathy. You are sturdy and often bring a touch of earthy sophistication that really sustains the process of cognitive therapy. I see you as an expert in human behaviour and I appreciate how often you challenge my own inner dialogue. You are truly one of a kind. You’ve continued to assist me uncover and discover my authentic self even during some of the most difficult times of my life. You help me to grow, to understand and to value my true self. For that, I am forever grateful.

Dr. Lin Nicolas' approach is unlike like any other therapist I have ever worked with. She is a genuine and down-to-earth person. Her style mixes compassion with honesty, firmness with kindness, and guidance with sincerity.
Dr. Nicolas is supportive, patient, and passionate about her clients. She doesn't ask her clients to do anything she's not willing to do herself -- she does her homework and is prepared for each and every session.
She assists and encourages each client to create a "toolbox" loaded with tools that are personalized, functional and practical. This strategy is so simple and yet exceedingly effective. You have only to be ready to invest in yourself, and be willing to uncover the "gems" that are buried beneath the surface.
Over the course of the time we have worked together, Dr. Nicolas has been
instrumental in helping me to recognize my strengths and weaknesses then, taking all this knowledge, I have learned to tailor my attention to my own personal needs.
I no longer feel like a square peg in a round hole. I celebrate my uniqueness, take care of my healthy self, and follow my heart more easily. I am now finally able to be true to myself.

Are you ready? Do you really want to make a difference in your life? Finding the "just-right" therapist isn't easy. You look for comfort and trust. You look for the perfect person with whom to share your deepest, most inner YOU. This person will hear everything - even things unspoken - and will understand exactly what you need. They will set you up with a strategic life plan and be there every step of the way- gently guiding and pushing you to greater heights and a stronger, healthier you.
That's Dr. Lin Nicolas. She was just right for me, and will be for you. You'll love her!

My husband and I saw Dr. Nicolas for marital counseling. Although we have been together for many years, every marriage needs some help at times. She was able to guide and redirect the way we were handling the problems, and gave us "tools for a lifetime".
She taught us to stop being judgmental of each other, to see the other person's perspective, to be open and honest about our feelings, and to listen !
Due to her outstanding skills and talent, we are now able to communicate with each other in a healthy way and are well on our way to enjoying and appreciating each other again.
I cannot thank Dr. Nicolas enough for the guidance she gave us during that difficult period of our marriage. We couldn't have done it without her.

I met Dr. Nicolas through a friend. We discovered that we were meant to know each other, and became as close as siblings. When I lost my way emotionally, she took off her friends hat and became the professional I needed. Her spirituality, kindness, non-judgmental caring, professionalism and intellectual credentials allowed her to steer me back onto my path and restore my judgment and self respect.

I began to work with Dr. Nicolas when I found out that I was getting a divorce.
She walked me through my grieving and into healing in such a gentle; and yet very profound way. Within a few months I was ready to step into, and create a new life for myself; healthy and strong…..empowered!
I am very grateful for Dr. Nicolas and her passion and commitment.

I thank Dr. Nicolas for moving me into a position of greater personal autonomy and confidence in my relationship. I am finally on equal footing with my long term partner, and no longer feel controlled by others. The results are remarkable!
