#120 Pouring Support & Breaking Stigmas: Nicole Lawrence on Psychology, COVID's Impact, and Opening Her Own Practice

In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, we’re joined by local therapist Nicole Lawrence founder of Illuminate Counseling Creative Arts Therapy, PLLC., who sits down with us over one of her favorite beers to talk about her journey from working in other practices to taking the leap and opening her own. Nicole shares the emotional and financial challenges of launching her business and the incredible support she received from her husband — including him picking up another job to help make her dream a reality. We also dive into the psychological ripple effects of the COVID era, especially how it has impacted kids, and the growing need for mental health awareness and care. This episode is a blend of laughs, respect, and powerful conversation. Cheers to Nicole, her husband’s service, and the courage it takes to chase a calling.     [email protected]
