Nicolette Furno
Graduate Counseling Clinician
Hi, I’m Nicolette Furno and I am a clinician in training working towards my licensure in mental health counseling. I believe that we are resilient in nature and have an innate capability to heal, sometimes we just need the tools to get there. I have a passion for helping people navigate the ups and downs of life—finding comfort in the uncomfortable and uncertain parts of their everyday experiences. My goal is to help people live their most authentic lives in a supportive and non-judgmental space. I use techniques such as CBT, DBT, and mindfulness therapy to help you achieve your own therapeutic goals and help you get to the root of your concerns. In my free time you can find me making music, reading, or traveling; all of which help me stay grounded and connected with myself.
