Mrs Nicole Simon

Licensed Associate Professional Counselor

“A caring individual committed to helping others with their struggles and challenges, especially in assisting children and adolescents to reach their potential.”

About Me

This counsellor offers a warm, dedicated space for children and adolescents navigating life's challenges. They are committed to understanding each young person's unique struggles, helping them find their voice and build resilience. Through a supportive approach, this counsellor guides young individuals towards reaching their full potential. They believe every child deserves a safe place to grow and thrive, fostering confidence for the future.

Approach

Helping a young person find their voice often unfolds through steady, practical steps that honor their pace and preferences. In my Raeford office or during secure online sessions we move between short skill-building practices and quieter times of reflection so homework feels doable, not overwhelming. Sessions blend focused problem-solving with gentle exploration of patterns—breathing and grounding when anxiety rises, simple routines for attention, and talking through feelings that connect to behaviour. This approach tends to suit teens and young adults ready for compassionate, hands-on change.
