Nicole Byrd, LGPC

I'm a licensed therapist who specializes in working with individuals experiencing relational trauma as well as the emotional challenges and loss of overall well-being that occur as a result.

When a relationship leaves you more numb and confused than loved and secure, it can be hard to trust your own feelings or know what to do next. You may find yourself overthinking, minimizing your needs, or trying harder while feeling increasingly disconnected. I help clients make sense of these patterns, reconnect with their inner clarity, and move toward relationships that feel emotionally safe, mutual, and steady.
Whether you are navigating a difficult relationship, considering whether to stay or leave, or healing after it has ended, you deserve a space where your experience is met with care and understanding.

I work with individuals who are navigating the complexities of staying in, leaving, or healing from challenging relationships. My clients often come seeking support after experiences such as:

Betrayal or infidelity trauma

Emotional or psychological abuse

Relationships affected by addiction or substance use

High-conflict separation, divorce, or coparenting challenges

Repeated patterns of unhealthy or toxic relationships

Many of the people I work with feel confused, anxious, or depleted, and struggling to make decisions that feel right. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help clients explore their inner parts, understand their emotional responses, and clarify what truly matters to them. Together, we work to restore self-trust, build emotional resilience, and create healthier patterns in relationships and life.
