Nicole Freeman, LMFT LPCC

I help insightful, high-functioning clients move from understanding their patterns to creating real change. Together, we identify what maintains emotional and relational cycles and shift them. Integrating DBT (8 yrs), depth work (11 yrs), EMDRIA-certified EMDR, and polyvagal-informed care. I draw from Jungian, existential, somatic, and dialectical approaches, integrating them in a way that is responsive to each client. My foundation in Depth Psychology and DBT allows for both deep exploration and meaningful change—where insight is not just explored, but transformed.

Hi, I’m Nicole. When I’m not building rapport with clients or continuing to deepen my clinical work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two daughters. I’m also an avid reader with a deep curiosity about depth psychology, the occult, Hermeticism, and esoteric traditions. At home, I adore my 150-pound Cane Corso, Cowboy, my French bulldog, Jean Redcorn, my cat, Mordecai Goldman, and my axolotl, Lafayette. I still cannot decide whether I love the forest or the desert more.
I am an integrative, depth-oriented therapist whose work sits at the intersection of insight and action.
My clinical foundation is rooted in Depth Psychology and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I integrate Jungian and psychodynamic traditions, existential exploration, trauma-informed work, somatic awareness, and behavioral change strategies in a way that is responsive to each client’s needs in the moment.
Alongside my private practice, I teach graduate-level psychotherapy and counseling courses as an adjunct professor at Antioch University in Santa Barbara. This academic role reflects my commitment to clinical rigor, depth, and the ongoing development of the field.
