Hi, I’m Nicole Sela, an anger management specialist in California with years of experience helping individuals find balance, control and emotional resilience. I strive to meet you where you are - working to build a trusting partnership grounded in empathy and respect. I believe you deserve to be seen as a whole person; made up of many parts: the helpful, the hurtful, and everything in between. I will provide a safe and supportive space where you can begin to let go of the burdens that have become too heavy to carry alone. This is a space where your pain will be held with care, and where you will be gently guided toward brighter, more manageable days.
My specialties include anger management therapy, depression & anxiety, childhood trauma, PTSD therapy, couples counseling and emerging adults counseling.
