Hello! I'm Dr. Nicole Velez-Pagan, a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed clinical psychologist with over 7 years of experience dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey towards emotional well-being. As a graduate of Albizu University in Puerto Rico, I earned my Doctoral Degree (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology and hold licensure in Illinois (License No. 071.011159). My training includes evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and the Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I offer individual therapy, relationship/couples counseling, and psychological testing, all with a focus on culturally sensitive treatment and multicultural psychology. This approach ensures that each client feels understood, respected, and valued in their therapeutic process. I specialize in trauma recovery, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and stress management, using proven therapies to support healing and personal growth. My work also includes improving relationship and family dynamics, enhancing communication, and building resilience. I offer culturally competent therapy, addressing acculturation, identity, and family dynamics to foster holistic healing. If you're ready to take the next step toward positive change, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can work toward enhancing your well-being and achieving your therapeutic goals. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward growth.
