Dr. Nichole Vincent
Psychologist, PsyD
Not your typical therapist. No passive nods, no distant “mm-hmm” moments.
You deserve a space where you can be your unfiltered self, explore your thoughts, and make meaningful progress without feeling like you're talking to a blank wall. That’s where I come in.
Think of our sessions like catching up with a good friend over your favorite drink. I’ll ask how your week’s been, what book has you hooked, or how that recent trip turned out, not out of obligation, but because I genuinely care. I’m here to celebrate your wins, sit with you in the tough moments, and challenge the narratives that keep you stuck. And when needed? I’ll give you the honest, compassionate feedback that helps you move forward.
Clients often tell me they feel instantly at ease with me, like they can finally breathe. I bring warmth, humor, and a down-to-earth approach that makes the therapy room feel like a safe, inviting space where vulnerability is welcome. No judgment. No pretense. Just real talk, real growth, and real support.
I believe you are the expert of your own life, my job is to help you see that, own it, and step into the life you deserve.

Nicole Barrett
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A., LPC, LMHC
I am a clinician at Nielsen Psychological Services, which is an outpatient behavioral health care organization, specializing in individual and couples therapy related to trauma, anxiety, grief & loss, and violence prevention. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with nine years of clinical experience supporting individuals and couples in creating a deeper understanding and connection within their relationships. I have a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a certificate in Relationship and Family Therapy from Rollins College.
I specialize in working with couples navigating the unique dynamics of neurodivergence, helping partners bridge communication gaps, manage emotional regulation, and build empathy through practical, evidence-based strategies. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy, DBT, the Gottman Method (Level I certified), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Internal Family Systems.
I create a compassionate and inclusive space for each client’s neurodiverse experience to be understood and honored. My holistic approach empowers couples to strengthen their bond, embrace their differences, and cultivate fulfilling, resilient relationships.

Healing Space Therapy Collective
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-QS, CST
At Healing Space Therapy Collective, we believe therapy should feel both grounding and transformative. Our practice was built on the idea that meaningful mental health care requires depth, warmth, and clinical skill—not just coping strategies, but real understanding.
We work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, communication breakdowns, intimacy concerns, and life transitions. Many of our clients are thoughtful, high-functioning adults who appear “fine” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck internally. Others are couples who love each other but feel caught in repeating patterns they don’t know how to change.
Our therapists are trained in psychotherapy and sex therapy and provide identity-affirming, kink- and ENM-aware care. We balance compassion with thoughtful feedback, helping clients gain insight, build emotional regulation skills, and strengthen their relationships. Sessions are collaborative, intentional, and tailored to your goals.
We offer secure online therapy throughout Florida, making it easier to access consistent, high-quality mental health care from wherever you are. Whether you’re seeking clarity, reconnection, healing, or growth, we’re here to support lasting change—not just temporary relief.
