Nicole "Nikki" Pradella (she/her), LCSW
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or just not like yourself lately—you’re not alone. Whether you’re navigating the heartbreak of infertility, struggling to express your needs, burnt out from trying to do it all, or carrying the weight of grief or big life transitions, therapy can be a powerful place to reconnect with yourself and feel supported along the way.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut, and I specialize in working with adult individuals and couples navigating:
-
Infertility, pregnancy loss and the full life cycle of parenting
-
Anxiety, including perfectionism, panic attacks, and health-related anxiety
-
Grief and major life changes (breakups, job loss, loss of identity)
-
Relationship and communication challenges
-
Men’s mental health, especially around self-esteem and emotional expression
-
Stress, burnout, and boundary setting
- LGBTQ+ affirming care
You may be feeling like nothing you do is ever good enough, carrying a fear of failure, or struggling to communicate your needs in relationships. Maybe you’re experiencing physical symptoms—like a tight chest or racing heart—with no clear medical explanation. Or maybe you’re simply searching for more meaning and direction.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both evidence-based techniques and deep human connection. I meet you where you are—with empathy, humor, and a genuine belief in your capacity to grow. Therapy with me is a space where you can feel safe to explore what’s going on beneath the surface and gain tools that support you beyond our sessions.
If you’re ready to take that next step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Let’s talk.
