Mindful Endeavors, LLC

Hi, I'm Nicole. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)  and owner of Mindful Endeavors, LLC. 
You may wonder what is an LCSW and how can a social worker support someone in therapy?
Licensed Clinical Social Workers are people who have completed their Masters degrees in Social Work and then complete at least 3 years post Masters focusing on clinical work in individual and group therapeutic services, assessments, and treatment interventions under the supervision of other trained clinicians. Following a clinical exam after the 3 years, one becomes an LCSW and is licensed to practice on their own as a clinician. LCSWs can provide treatment interventions, treatment planning, some diagnoses and consultations as well as referrals for higher levels of care as needed. 
What makes an LCSW different from LPCs is the foundational training in social work-really focusing less on diagnosis and more on the person-in-environment. 
I became an LCSW because not only was I interested in the diagnosis and treatment of people but I wanted a more holistic view of what can affect people and compound anxiety, depression, etc. 
I also focused my work on the understanding and treatment of trauma and attachment patterns developed early on in childhood to help support adults in a way that encompasses many aspects of someone's life. Helping people understand where foundational aspects of their lives have impacted them into adulthood has been pivotal in engaging positive change to many clients I've worked with.

I pride my practice approach on being honest with people, building positive relationships in therapeutic work and helping to foster growth and change on the individual basis. I do not have a one-size fits all approach to any person I work with because everyone is different and unique and therapy should be individualized.
