Nicole Thoms Fuentes

Along my journey in becoming a therapist, one mantra has stuck with me throughout: “You are the expert of your life.” This mantra encompasses my main beliefs as a therapist— that you are the expert of your story. I hope to help you find agency and alignment with the truest version of yourself. This is a partnership in healing, so I will meet you where you are in a safe and supportive space to experience, express, and connect with yourself. Through mindfulness and intentionality, I hope to create a safe space to challenge, grow and maintain the values that can help you nurture your highest self. As a person of the global majority with ADHD, anxiety, and trauma, I understand the struggles of navigating life in a world that was not designed to hold space for you. I believe in honoring and respecting your lived experiences while bringing gentle awareness to the societal and systemic forces that affect your daily choices. While approaching therapy from a decolonizing and neurodivergent-affirming lens, I will support you towards radical acceptance and holistic healing of trauma, anxiety, and stress. For a little bit of my background: I am a 1.5-generation, neuroqueer, Afro-Latina therapist intern passionate about collective community and holistic therapy for immigrant and QTBIPOC populations. I am learning how to incorporate energetic and somatic practices into my healing work. If you feel called to learning more about these practices at any time during our partnership in your therapeutic journey, feel free to let me know how I can holistically support you towards your guided path to healing. Currently, I am under the clinical supervision of Tiffany Luke, LPC, CPCS, Certified EMDR Therapist, Certified Holistic Therapist, TCYM, CYT-300.
