About Nicole

Nicole Forester welcomes individuals who are seeking support and acknowledges the energy it takes to reach out for help. She provides non-judgmental listening aimed at helping people hear their own voice, inviting them to be as direct and unedited as they feel comfortable. She believes that speaking one’s full truth is an important place to begin therapy.

She holds credentials as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado, and she is also a Nationally Board-Certified Music Therapist - a credential that reflects specialized training in music-based therapeutic approaches. Nicole earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Therapy from Utah State University in 2002, completed an internship at Bethany Children’s Home in Pennsylvania, and received a Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix in 2007.

Her clinical background includes work in a range of settings: the University Neuropsychiatric Institute and inpatient units, addiction recovery programs, Utah Youth Village’s in-home crisis team, outpatient addiction and dual-diagnosis services with Project Reality, outpatient and intensive-outpatient program groups at Arbour Counseling Services, pediatric and teen hospice care with Hospice by the Bay, and an established private practice in San Francisco from 2012 to 2019.

Nicole encourages prospective clients to interview therapists to determine fit and invites people to connect to discuss the kind of support they are seeking. She aims to answer questions about the therapy process, values objective listening, and recognizes the courage it takes to ask for help.

Could Remote Therapy Be the Right Fit?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly make a difference. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the way that feels most comfortable to them: through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.

Therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch providers if they would prefer a different fit. Online formats can make professional support more accessible while preserving the collaborative work that happens in therapy.
