As a professional counselor, I get the rare opportunity to be with people as they explore some painful and difficult moments in their lives. I am happy to help and support them while navigating that storm. Whether that is a current crisis, relationship problems, chronic mental health concerns, or a history of traumatic/stressful experiences, I partner with my clients to help them increase understanding and find strategies to meet their goals. I approach counseling through a few different approaches including solution-oriented, trauma informed care and EMDR.

Dan Nicolau, Psychiatrist-MD
A patient is not merely a list of symptoms that make up a condition. All aspects of your life need to be understood. How is your job and home life? What is your ethnic and educational background? Do you have any medical problems? These questions and many more are needed to understand you and provide the right diagnosis and treatment for you. In most cases a combination of medication and talk therapy will give the best results. I am a triple board certified physician in Psychiatry, Addiction Medicine, and Obesity Medicine that can help you start feeling well again.
