Your Therapist

Nichole Bresina, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Meet Nichole

Welcome! Thank you for exploring the site. You’re likely here because you are seeking help with a personal or relationship challenge. Here’s a little bit about me and my background to help you decide if my therapy practice is the right fit for you.

I bring over 18 years of experience supporting children, individuals, and families as they navigate mental health challenges, life crises, and substance use concerns. I believe that every person’s story is unique, and I approach therapy with compassion, curiosity, and respect. My goal is to meet you where you are, creating a space that feels safe, supportive, and tailored to your needs.

I’m deeply committed to lifelong learning and staying current with evidence-based practices so I can offer thoughtful, effective care. I find fulfillment in helping adults and couples work through challenges, strengthen their relationships, and move toward lasting growth and healing.

My clinical training includes:

  • Trauma-Informed Care

  • Strengths-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

  • Systems Theory

  • Gottman Method for Couples Therapy

In addition, I am a certified Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist (KAP), in fact the only KAP therapist in Western Wisconsin. I also hold a Substance Use Disorders Counselor Certificate and have earned my Sex Therapy Practitioner certification. 

I’m honored to walk alongside you as you work toward clarity, connection, and well-being.
