Dr. Nichole Diamond, PsyD, LPC, BCETS, CCTP, CCATP , LPC

Trauma and anxiety, in their many forms, cast a long shadow over the lives of countless individuals. As a trauma and anxiety specialist, I recognize the profound impact they can have. I can help you step out of the darkness and offer hope for reclaiming your life with compassion and skill. My clinical work integrates modern neuroscience and relational psychology with leading experiential therapeutic models including both standard and Attachment-Focused EMDR; the DeTur protocol (EMDR for urge reduction); Internal Family Systems (IFS); Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT); and Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) for phobias and OCD.

I am a dedicated & seasoned therapist with 25+ years of clinical mental healthcare experience. I’m passionate about helping others overcome fears and self-limiting beliefs so they can shift from simply surviving to thriving, and live their best lives. My care philosophy is holistic (viewing the mind & body as one), trauma-informed, attachment-based, and integrative (drawing from different approaches) while creatively weaving them together to best fit your individual needs and meet you in your moment. I’m not a generalist— my specialty areas focus on anxiety in its many forms, specific phobias, post-traumatic stress (both single episode & relational / complex trauma), self-esteem, attachment issues and couple’s counseling. I treat adults 18+ throughout NJ virtually. In person sessions including half-day EMDR intensives are available via my premier concierge therapy service, a highly personalized model that provides customized care that caters specifically to your unique needs and goals, without the limitations that come with insurance-driven models. No more feeling rushed or cut off because “time is up”. You receive care when you need it, and for however long. If you need an extended session, or support in between scheduled sessions, you will have direct, personal access to me. I’m able to provide this level of care and flexibility as I only treat a small number of clients at a time, focusing on quality rather than quantity. With this tailored approach, therapy becomes more than just a 45 min weekly conversation, but a transformation. Imagine being able to respond from your authentic Wise Self, rather than react through the distorted lens of anxiety or trauma… it’s possible, and it would my honor to help guide you there with compassion and curiosity.
