Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
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.

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
Dr. Brittany Jacobson
Psychologist, PhD, CST
I specialize in trauma therapy, PTSD, relationship issues, sexual concerns, body image, self-esteem, stress, and nervous system dysregulation. Many of the clients I work with feel stuck in patterns that affect their relationships, self-worth, or ability to feel grounded in their body and daily life. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and holistic, blending talk therapy with emotional processing and mind-body awareness to support meaningful and sustainable change.
In our work together, I focus on creating a safe and collaborative space where we can slow down and understand the deeper roots of what you’re experiencing. This often includes exploring how past experiences, stress responses, and relationship patterns are affecting you now. I will help you in healing the past and reducing worry about the future, so you can find more joy and peace in the present moment. Sessions will go at your pace and be personalized to your needs, with an emphasis on building self-trust, emotional regulation, and greater ease in your life. I'm always happy to talk more about how my approach can help with your specific concerns. Feel free to contact me to schedule a free 15 minute consultation!

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
Dr. JD Wright
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
My approach is grounded in an understanding of the impact of trauma, recognizing that our struggles always exist in the context of our environments and histories. I weave mindfulness and positive psychology into our sessions, aiming not just for 'okay,' but for a life that feels truly meaningful and fulfilling. Trained in clinical hypnosis, EMDR, ACT, and CBT, I bring a diverse toolkit to tailor our sessions to your unique needs.
I see our time together as a collaborative space, where your feedback and active participation shape the path to your well-being. There's no one-size-fits-all in therapy—I believe in finding the approach that resonates best with you and addresses your specific concerns. Let's embark on this journey towards positive change together.

Louisville's therapy community is shaped by the city's dual identity as a major healthcare hub — anchored by the University of Louisville Health system, Norton Healthcare, and Baptist Health — and a culturally rich city with deep roots in bourbon, thoroughbred racing, and Southern Midwestern community values. The Muhammad Ali Center and the city's civil rights heritage sustain meaningful conversations about racial identity, community resilience, and systemic inequity in clinical work. The University of Louisville's department of psychological and brain sciences provides important training resources for the local therapy community. Louisville's positioning at the intersection of Appalachian influence, Southern tradition, and Midwestern pragmatism shapes a therapy culture where direct, accessible, and often spiritually informed approaches find the broadest acceptance.
