Hello! I'm Nicole and I specialize in narcissistic abuse recovery, trauma healing, and relationship building for individuals and couples. My personal experiences with narcissistic abuse compelled me to learn everything I could about narcissism and how it effects others. Most importantly, I wanted to understand why some people get stuck in a cycle of narcissistic relationships and what they can do to break this cycle. I have over 15 years of clinical experience and established my private practice in 2017. I am licensed to practice in the states of Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina.

My name is Michael Venezia. I was born and raised in Huntsville, Alabama. I began my career as a therapist in Huntsville 10 years ago and then moved to Atlanta 6 years ago to continue my counseling career. In my time here, I have engaged in intensive trainings for EMDR for my trauma clients as well as EFT for couples counseling. I have also completed trainings to incorporate IFS, DBT, Gottman, and other therapy models so that I could provide my clients with whatever therapy best suits their needs. I have really enjoyed working with clients using different modalities and seeing which ones work best for them to provide them the relief they are seeking. I am continuing to explore different modalities to learn and clients I could better serve to bring clients quality care. In my free time, I enjoy watching and playing sports when I can, trying new cooking recipes, binge watching tv shows, and exploring new places to travel to. If you have any questions about my background you’d like to know more about, we could always discuss that in a consultation.
