Play Therapy for Children
Helping Children Express Big Feelings Through Play
Children don't always have the words to explain what they're experiencing. Sometimes their emotions show up through behaviors, worries, frustration, withdrawal, or difficulty navigating everyday situations.
Through developmentally appropriate play therapy, we help children explore their experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop confidence and connection.
Nicole Giron, LMHC, is a Certified Synergetic Play Therapist® and Supervisor, bringing specialized training in child development, attachment, nervous system regulation, and therapeutic play.
We welcome children of all ages, including toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children, and collaborate with caregivers to support their growth.
Teen Therapy
A Supportive Space to Navigate Growing Up
Adolescence can bring tremendous change, uncertainty, and emotional challenges.
We provide compassionate, LGBTQ+ affirming therapy for teenagers navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, identity development, peer relationships, family challenges, trauma, and self-esteem.
Our approach emphasizes connection, collaboration, and respect for each teen's individuality while involving caregivers when clinically appropriate.
We help teens better understand themselves, strengthen emotional regulation, develop coping skills, and navigate life's challenges with greater confidence.
Individual Therapy for Children, Teens & Adults
Support for Whatever Life Brings
Sometimes life feels overwhelming. Other times, you may simply feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward.
Individual therapy provides a space to explore your experiences, better understand your emotions, and develop strategies for navigating life's challenges.
We work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, grief, and life transitions.
Our approach draws from evidence-informed methods including CBT, DBT-informed skills, EMDR, and developmentally appropriate play-based interventions.
EMDR & Trauma Therapy
Healing From the Past. Finding Peace in the Present.
Distressing experiences can continue to affect how we think, feel, and respond to the world long after they've occurred.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based treatment for PTSD that helps individuals process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact.
We offer developmentally appropriate EMDR therapy for children, teens, and adults.
Nicole has completed EMDR Levels I and II training and integrates trauma-informed care that prioritizes emotional safety, collaboration, preparation, and each client's individual pace.
EMDR may be offered in person or through telehealth when clinically appropriate.

LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy
A Space Where You Can Be Fully Yourself
You deserve mental health care where your identity is respected, your experiences are valued, and you don't have to explain or defend who you are.
Inner Peace Therapy is an LGBTQ+ affirming practice welcoming individuals of all sexual orientations, gender identities, expressions, and family structures.
As an LGBTQ+ therapist, Nicole understands the importance of creating an affirming therapeutic environment where clients can explore identity, relationships, self-acceptance, trauma, and other concerns without judgment.
Whether your reasons for seeking therapy relate to your identity or something entirely different, you are welcome here.

EMDR Therapy: A structured, evidence-based treatment for PTSD and trauma-related distress.
