Hello! My name is Nicole Mulligan I am a current Clinical Psychology doctoral student! I have been working with children for years working on behavioral issues, anger issues, as well as anxious attachments and mood dysregulation.  My goal is to expand my knowledge as well as continue to help individuals and their families navigate through hard situations!

I hold a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Clinical Psychology. I have developed a thorough understanding of evidence based practice and have a great grasp on how to properly implement it. While working with clients, I tend to take a CBT approach as well as client-centered. My approach is open and comforting and making sure my client knows I want to listen and understand no matter how long it takes.
