Meet Nicole Groves, LPC
My name is Nicole Groves, and I am a licensed therapist dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges with resilience and self-awareness. You deserve a counselor who understands both the complexity of the human mind and the importance of a safe, inclusive environment.
​
My Background and Journey
I earned my undergraduate degree from Grand Valley State University in Michigan and my graduate degree from Lamar University in Texas. My career began in the classroom. As a former K-12 educator, I spent years inspiring young minds and understanding developmental growth. This experience shaped my compassionate approach to mental health. Today, I combine my educational background with extensive clinical training to provide holistic care for your mental well-being.
