Allow Me to Introduce Myself

Hi there! It took me a while to get to this point.  To actually have a blog. Oh my!  No matter our profession, fears and self-doubt can often delay what we know in our hearts must happen. I decided to practice what I preached and pushed that fear to the side!

So, without further ado, allow me to introduce myself.  I am Stephanie Nichols, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, in the state of Georgia, who provides psychotherapy in her own private practice called Mindful Therapy Works. For now, I am a solo practitioner and my main focus includes aiding individuals in breaking anxious and depressive thought patterns, alleviating triggers that lead to high stress, and adjusting to the many expected and unexpected life transitions (think a big move, a growing family) that come our way.

I am the proud (and dare I say chic) social worker who is not typically depicted on movies or your favorite tv shows.  There are a lot of misconceptions about what social workers do but I will save that for an entirely different post. Lol!

Being a therapist, business owner, entrepreneur, and wife, I know life can be extremely demanding and ever changing.  I am here for the overworked, highly anxious but functioning individuals, those prone to depression/isolation, perfectionists, millennials in transition, and social media connoisseurs.

I am a self-proclaimed chicmian [pronounced shēk-mē-ən] which means while I love all things chic, I also lean towards a lot of bohemian tendencies.  Simply put, a chicmian is one who appreciates a polished lifestyle while also recognizing and honoring the need for holistic ways of regular living.
