Nicolle is grateful to live, work and create on the unceded territory of the Snaw’naw’as Mustimuxw  people.

Beyond an extensive professional career in the Performing Arts industry, I work as a Counselor. I have been a Certified Counselor CAC II in good standing since 2007, with Canadian Council of Professional Certification CCPC Global.

My journey and training as a Counselor began at Renascent’s Munro Centre, downtown Toronto at a residential treatment centre for women ages 15-65 years old who were in recovery from trauma and substance misuse. With over 2, 700 hours of clinical supervision, 350 hours of training and certifications, I have worked front line in every aspect of care, from admissions, intake, facilitating group sessions, one on one counseling, aftercare programs with Alumni and creating trauma-informed curriculum, using Journaling and creativity, CJ: The Promises of Recovery & CJ: Self-Care for the Helping Professional (CACCF Approved CEU Course Provider).

I offer short to medium term coaching & counseling support, with an integrated approach of blending different therapeutic techniques, theories and treatments.(Compassion focused, CBT, DBT, Somatics, Mindfulness, Creative therapies like Art, Music, Writing, Journaling, Theatre, Meditation & Cultural support)

” She has really coached me through some difficult times. She has a truly divine gift of hearing the core story of the moment, and knowing whether to ask questions and go deeper, or to simply hold space for emotions to move through. She has offered continuous, compassionate support during my times of need and is a true conduit for healing energy to move through.”  Rebecca Savoie
