Nicole Brunn, LMFT, LPCC

Nicole believes that therapy is a collaborative process, and she actively works to create a judgment-free and accepting environment for clients to heal and learn more about themselves. Nicole is warm, empathic, and passionate in providing individualized treatment that meets the client’s unique goals. She is dedicated to utilizing evidenced-based therapies, such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She has witnessed firsthand how effective these therapies are in transforming people’s lives.

Nicole is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. She attended San Jose State University and graduated with a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. She gained her experience in community-based settings and has supported a variety of clients in healing from PTSD, depression, anxiety, and OCD. Nicole used to be a program lead at Gardner Health Services and her primary focus was providing intensive services for children and families with severe behavioral health disorders.

Before her Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy, Nicole was also a research assistant while attending San Diego State University and was involved with research projects about social anxiety, generalized anxiety, and OCD. She decided her passion wasn’t in research, but instead in providing direct therapy to individuals struggling with these difficulties.

In her spare time, Nicole enjoys reading fantasy novels, playing video games, and cuddling with her two cats.
