Our Certified Therapist

NICOLE DUARTE, LMFT, CST

I take an integrative and collaborative approach to therapy, which is client-centered and goal driven.  I am skilled at finding the fine balance of creating a safe environment while challenging unhealthy patterns at the same time. I am bilingual in Spanish and have experience working with diverse groups of individuals, couples, and families.​ My clinical expertise includes relationship and intimacy issues, sexual dysfunction, out of control sexual behaviors, desire discrepancies and trauma. I believe in a holistic approach to treatment and focus on increasing my clients’ self-awareness, facilitating personal growth, and creating enriching relationships.

I am an AASECT certified therapist and I have trained at the University of Michigan's Sexual Health Program. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Loyola University and my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northwestern University.
