About
Becoming your authentic self is a transforming and long journey, and I’m here to walk alongside you, offering tools and encouragement along the way.
I am a master’s-level associate licensed counselor trained in CBT at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. I integrate feminist theory, ACT, IFS, narrative, and mindfulness-based approaches in my work. My ideal clients are individuals seeking a safe, affirming space to explore their identities and the parts of life that may feel difficult or taboo to discuss. I work with clients navigating their concerns, anxiety, relational patterns, and values with collaboration, transparency, and active client participation in treatment.
I offer a safe, affirming space grounded in feminist, sex-positive, and trauma-informed care. Using a collaborative and integrative approach, I help clients explore intimacy, relationships, and identity while building insight, emotional resilience, and meaningful, lasting growth.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable and takes courage. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard and supported as they take this next step. I welcome you to connect when you’re ready and I'll respond thoughtfully within professional boundaries.

As a queer therapist working from a trauma informed and social justice lens, I understand the importance of how our life experiences and current contexts deeply impact our mental health experiences.
My name is Nicole Lyman (she/they). I am a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor with 2 years of experience working with young adults, adults, and seniors. I seek to explore strengths and personalized goals to cope more effectively with life's challenges as well as move towards resilience and growth. My ideal clients experience a range of issues, often rooted in chronic stress or trauma, including anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, life transitions, trauma/PTSD, relationships, self-esteem, or grief. I also have experience working with clients identifying as LGBTQIA+ and individuals on the autism spectrum.
I have a background in mindfulness, trauma-informed, and social justice approaches meaning you can expect focus on exploring a wholistic view of yourself and presenting concerns. Collaboratively, I support clients defining what growth and resilience mean to them and building towards meaningful engagement with life and improved sense of one's own strengths.
The first step in growth is accepting the need for change. Therapy is a place to reflect on ourselves and our complex identities, experiences, and goals.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Yes, there are therapists who help with anger via Anger management therapy. It’s a therapeutic process that an individual goes through to manage their anger and identify its triggers. They’re given clear instructions on how to improve their angry behavior as well as a safe space for opening up about their emotions.
Once an individual’s triggers are identified, anger management therapy focuses on helping the individual process and respond to these emotions in a more positive and productive manner. The anger management therapist will provide coping strategies and ultimately help their client take back control of their anger.
The five keys to mastering anger include identifying triggers, pausing before reacting, calmly expressing emotions, discovering constructive outlets for frustration, and seeking professional assistance if necessary. Acquiring these skills through Anger management therapy empowers individuals to effectively manage and navigate their anger.
The best therapy for anger management often involves cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps individuals identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior related to anger.
Anger management therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Often, Anger management therapy lasts between 4-6 weeks. However, it can last longer, dependent on the individual’s needs.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
