Why Work with Within Reach? Hi. I’m Jason Nicholsen. When I first meet with new folks, I often refer to the pillars of life: what we lean on when life gets challenging. Usually those pillars include family, friendships, work/school, romantic relationships/partnerships. The last pillar is always the fun stuff--things that really recharge our batteries. Full disclosure: mine is Star Wars. I started this virtual-based therapy practice so that I could connect with individuals struggling to feel connected in their lives. There are no judgements. Together, we can explore the resilience and strength you already have and take action towards a richer, fuller life. I have a professional focus in working with members of LGBTQIA communities. As an openly gay man, I understand the need to create a space for those dealing with navigating the very complex process of connecting to our own identities. I have a Master's degree in Social Work from New York University and utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (check out the What is ACT? link above!) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with an eclectic mix of other areas to support you.
