Dr Nicola Simmersbach
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
“Do you struggle to be heard? Find yourself in romantic or work relationships where it feels like you don’t matter? I’d love to help. Free phone consult”
About Me
Feeling unheard in romantic or work relationships can be deeply isolating. I offer a space where you can truly be heard, perhaps for the very first time. We can work together to explore communication patterns and build confidence in expressing your needs. This collaborative approach helps clients find their authentic voice. It fosters more balanced and fulfilling connections, whether at home or in the workplace.
Approach
When it feels like your words disappear in relationships, I help you notice how small moments shape bigger patterns. Sessions in Sacramento or online, in English or German, are paced to match your comfort—often a steady mix of reflective listening, gentle skills practice, and short between-session experiments. We track recurring interactions, try out new phrases until they land, and use evidence-informed tools when overwhelm blocks communication. People who’ve felt unseen often leave with clearer boundaries and more steady presence at home and work.
