Geri Nicholas

I'm Geri A. Nicholas and I am more than just a counselor or a problem solver; I am a teacher who can guide others to resolve their concerns and to develop new ideas. I listen to people without judging or imposing expectations on them. With such acceptance, through dialogue, I help people to build understanding and to become aware of their potential so that they may make effective transitions.

Services

I work with all ages specializing on your focus! 

I use a variety of strategies in my work, combining my traditional psycho-therapeutic background and experience with many New Age and Eastern methods of healing. Breath control, relaxation and stress management, visualization, mediation, hypnosis, and role playing are among my techniques. Through this positive approach, people learn to see life's processes as opportunities.
