Nicole Widman

Nicole is a mental health professional based in Newport Beach, California. She has been formally practicing in the mental health field for over 10 years, though her passion for the work began much earlier. Her practice is faith-based, with a focus on walking clients through trauma and integrating faith with mental health so that Christians can equip themselves with tools to maintain a relationship with God while addressing their experiences. Nicole holds a bachelor's degree and a master's degree, along with EMDR certification. She values a relationship with the Holy Spirit, the true love of God, and identity as His children, emphasizing the unraveling of performance and hiding places so people can be authentically themselves and experience belonging. The best career advice she has received is not putting oneself in a box, and she advises young women entering the field to begin by serving the person right in front of them, noting that their own story and testimony brings compassion and insight that nobody can teach.
