Hi there! My name is Nicole Winter and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I am a senior team member at Ebb & Flow Counseling and am excited to begin this journey with you!

I understand that seeking therapy can be an intimidating process. Life can be difficult and unpredictable. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, it sends us into a tailspin.  My priority is to provide a space where people feel at ease with who they are and what they are bringing with them. My therapeutic style is genuine and honest. I believe clients should feel that their time in therapy is both meaningful and productive. Therefore, in my practice, I value client voice and client choice. I work hand in hand to help clients gain insight, build skills and knowledge at a pace that feels right to them and meets them where they are on their path.

I believe that through helping clients understand the mind-body connection, they are better able to understand how their mental health related challenges are playing out in their everyday lives. I specialize in Complex PTSD and utilize a variety of evidenced based strategies to dive deeper into these challenges; including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These treatment practices have been proven to work in psychotherapy so that clients can begin to feel relief sooner rather than later. Moreover, I aim to work towards breaking the cycle of stigma around seeking support for mental health and assist clients in not only feeling better mentally and physically, but to promote growth towards achieving their full potential.

In my free time you can find me in the Metroparks spending time with my two pups. I am an avid Cleveland sports fan for better or worse (the Browns). One of my favorite hobbies is taking boxing classes, which is my own version of  meditation. I also love to travel when I get the chance and have most enjoyed my adventures to Europe and all around the US visiting family.

I have experience in a variety of settings and enjoy clients of all ages, including children and teens. I look forward to working with you soon!

At this time, I am unavailable for new client appointments. Please visit Our Team page for a list of other fabulous clinicians that are taking new clients at Ebb & Flow.
