My Background and Approach
My name is Nicole Hawkins-Doozan and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor in the State of Michigan. I graduated from Michigan State University in 2013 and I have spent the last 8 to 9 years working in outpatient mental health and substance abuse facilities, providing individual therapy to adults, teens and couples. My therapeutic skills include person-centered and solution focused skills, cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing techniques. My goal is to help you identify, explore and process your mental health and substance abuse struggles and aid you in learning positive and healthy coping skills to manage your symptoms. The focus is to make your struggles more manageable so that you may move forward in your life and once again discover joy and tranquility.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Deciding to engage in therapy is a difficult decision and can leave someone feeling anxious and nervous, especially during the initial stages of finding a therapist that you feel comfortable working with. My goal is to provide a comfortable and safe environment for you to explore your mental health and/or substance abuse concerns. I will offer you a judgement free zone, incorporated with compassion, empathy and understanding to support you through your therapeutic journey. I want to help you heal and re-energize by becoming aware of your strengths, helping you learn from your struggles, aid you in healing from your pain and working towards finding your authentic self. I am open to working with any and all gender identifications, sexual orientations, ethnic and racial backgrounds and relationship statuses.
