Nicole Lobo
Nicole Lobo is a Registered Psychotherapist who takes a person-centered, mindfulness-based approach, blending different therapeutic modalities to meet each client where they are. She believes therapy is a collaborative, commitment-based process where transparency, communication, and experimentation with tools and skills help create meaningful change. Having navigated anxiety, perfectionism, and OCD tendencies herself, Nicole offers an authentic connection rooted in shared humanity. Clients can expect a supportive, non-judgmental space where they feel seen, heard, and encouraged to grow at their own pace. She has a special interest in helping clients manage triggers and develop resilience through practical, individualized strategies. Nicole invites you to connect if you are ready to explore your story alongside a steady, compassionate partner.

Booking FAQ
First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs, and your card is charged, you will receive a PDF receipt to your email with all of the details you will need to get reimbursed (therapist name, license/designation, license number, address, etc). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement.
You are the expert when it comes to knowing who is the right fit. Ensure you’ve watched the therapist video at the top of their profile and see if you get a good feeling from the message and the energy they are putting out. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut! Booking a free consultation is a great first step to asses fit.
