Healing Happens Here.
Currently accepting new clients
Welcome to Nicole Dunbar Brush Counseling! With over a decade of experience in mental health counseling, I am dedicated to providing a safe, evidence-based space for healing. I believe that every individual deserves a compassionate approach that honors their unique journey toward emotional well-being and resilience.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and currently hold certifications as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and a Certified Grief Professional. I have experience treating adolescents, adults, with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and a wide range of mental health concerns. I also have years of experience in counseling individuals with cancer and have had extensive training in treating those who have been through suicide loss.
Clients often tell me they feel:
-
Understood without needing to over-explain
-
Relieved to have a space that’s truly their own
-
Able to slow down in a way they haven’t been able to elsewhere
Our work is collaborative, thoughtful, and paced in a way that respects both your capacity and your goals.
We focus not just on getting through the week, but on creating lasting change in how you experience your life!
Trauma-Focused Care
Prioritizing emotional safety to ensure your healing process is fully respected.
My approach is focused on depth and tailored for high-functioning individuals. We look beyond symptoms to find the source of your distress. Together, we work to quiet the mental noise, break stress cycles, and address trauma or loss. We aim for a grounded life where you reconnect with who you are beyond your daily roles.
My Methods
Scientific Foundations
I use clinical methods backed by research to ensure your progress is effective and real.
With advanced training in grief and trauma, I help you find the root of your feelings so you can experience lasting change. This is your place to be truly heard without the burden of carrying it all alone.
Empathetic Support
Building trust through focused listening and a compassionate presence tailored to your story.

Family Counseling
Family counseling provides a supportive, collaborative environment where family members can improve communication, strengthen relationships, and work through challenges together. Counseling may address concerns such as conflict, parenting challenges, behavioral concerns, family transitions, stress, grief and loss, communication difficulties, and changes within the family.
Treatment is tailored to the needs and goals of each family. Through guided conversations and therapeutic strategies, families can develop healthier communication patterns, improve understanding and connection, establish appropriate boundaries, and build practical skills for navigating challenges together.
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling provides a confidential, supportive space to explore personal challenges, improve emotional well-being, and develop practical strategies for managing life’s difficulties. Counseling may address concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem, and other emotional or behavioral concerns.
Treatment is individualized based on each client’s unique needs and goals.
