About Nicole Massoud
Have you been struggling with your mental health? Challenges like anxiety, depression or relationship issues? Perhaps you feel alone or as if no one understands what you are going through. I am here to actively listen to you and validate you. I believe in a collaborative therapeutic relationship. Just as you learn coping skills from me, I have a lot to learn from you, as YOU are the expert on your lived experience. My job is to provide evidence-based mental health treatment, but you are the one doing the healing!
I graduated with my B.A. in Psychology and minor in Relational Communication from Oakland University, and my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Michigan, where I focused on interpersonal practice and mental health. I have clinical experience with children, teens, and families, as well as experience peer-mentoring young adults. I have addressed various mental health challenges, such as depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, and ADHD. I have also helped clients navigate interpersonal relationships, work- and school-life balance, self-confidence, and body image.
As a therapist, I want to assist you in reaching your goals and improving your quality of life. I strongly believe in a strengths-based, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed approach. Of course, I will address the challenges you are facing, but I will also celebrate your many strengths. It would be an honor to assist you on your healing journey.
Unique Approach to Therapy
What makes my approach unique? I am regularly asking for feedback from my patients. How is the treatment going? Are we addressing issues you care about? Do you feel you are making measurable progress? At Start My Wellness, we help people actively engage in making therapy as useful and user friendly as possible. We use this feedback to improve treatment methods, guide therapist training and improve overall customer satisfaction. We believe this patient-centered approach makes Start My Wellness world-class.
Specialized & Extended Training
What makes Nicole Massoud stand out is her high level of education and experience. She, along with all Start My Wellness therapists, attends at least 120 hours of extensive ongoing training and personal development per year in treating anxiety, depression, work stress, and relationship problems. This rigorous instruction differentiates Nicole from others in the field and allows her to provide the highest quality of service to patients.
