Nicole McLaughlin MA/Ed.S, LPC
EMDRIA Approved EMDR Certified Therapists™, EMDR Consultant™, mentored by Deany Laliotis, LICSW
Welcome to Blue Bird Counseling. I hold a master's in professional counseling from Seton Hall University, earned in 2014. Throughout my career, I've dedicated myself to working adults facing a diverse array of mental health challenges, such as trauma, self-harm, suicidal ideation, depression, and dissociative disorders. My expertise lies in trauma resolution, and I tailor my approach based on the unique needs and preferences of each client. I am honored to be certified by the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) and have actively practiced EMDR since 2018.
I am well-versed in a range of therapeutic modalities, including brainspotting, structural dissociation, psychodrama, Internal Family Systems (IFS), The Meadows Model (PIT) and I integrate somatic approaches into my therapeutic toolkit. Employing a parts model in my approach has proven effective, empowering my clients to achieve optimal results.
My time at The Meadows provided invaluable opportunities to learn from esteemed professionals in the field, including Pia Mellody, Bessel van der Kolk, Tian Dayton, Dick Schwartz, Peter Levine, and Kevin McCauley.
Above all, my commitment is to deliver compassionate care, creating a safe and supportive environment for my clients to embark on their journey of healing from emotional wounds.
