Nicole Stern, LCSW

Welcome to Not Just Therapy, I’m so glad you’re here! 

Taking the step to begin therapy is an act of courage, and I’m honored that you’re considering walking this path with us. At Not Just Therapy, my mission is to help individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and create lasting change, both within themselves and in their relationships.

This practice was born out of my own experiences navigating profound life changes and learning to see things in a new way. Through that process, I came to understand the power of awareness, compassion, and connection, and how transformative it can be when we allow ourselves to grow through what we’ve been through. That insight continues to shape everything we do here.

I specialize in working with codependency, narcissism, attachment, parenting, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. My work often centers on helping clients untangle unhealthy patterns, strengthen emotional resilience, and build relationships rooted in trust, clarity, and authenticity.

For couples, I help navigate conflict, improve communication, and rebuild connection with a direct yet compassionate approach.

Not Just Therapy was built on the belief that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and that’s why we have a team approach. To make that possible, I’ve hand-selected each provider on our team for their expertise, warmth, and integrity.

Our clinicians specialize in different facets of mental health, allowing us to serve a wide range of needs with depth and care. 

There is power in learning to let go of what we can’t control, in setting healthy boundaries, and in focusing on our own growth. Wherever you are in your journey, whether you’re healing from the past, rebuilding your confidence, or seeking peace amid change,  you don’t have to face it alone.
