Nicole Hermann-Metzger, PhD, PsyD,
About Nicole Hermann-Metzger
My approach to therapy is client-centered, meeting each person I work with where they are at using diverse interventions including mindfulness and somatic experiencing techniques.
I am a Bay Area native raised in a multicultural household with over 20 years of experience working in a variety of settings throughout Contra Costa and Alameda Counties. I specialize in working with people struggling with: anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, chronic stress, adjusting to life changes, trauma exposure/PTSD, gender and sexual orientation identity issues, and multicultural stress.
I am certified in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and attachment-based family therapy. I can provide both long-term trauma focused treatment and brief solution focused treatment dependent on client need and situation. Currently, I am working with adolescents, adults, and families. I look forward to assisting you in gaining the necessary skills and understanding to make sustainable changes for yourself and your loved ones.
