Hi, I’m Nicole Massari. I’m a licensed psychotherapist with over 14 years experience and I specialize in helping people heal from trauma and PTSD. For many of my clients, past experiences feel like they’re still happening in the present — showing up as anxiety, depression, flashbacks, or a constant sense of being on edge. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you don’t have to carry those burdens alone, and where real healing feels possible.

I use evidence-based approaches that are proven to support recovery. These include:

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): a powerful method that helps the brain process and release stuck traumatic memories.
  • Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP): combining the benefits of ketamine treatment with therapeutic guidance to open new perspectives and promote breakthroughs when traditional therapy hasn’t been enough.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): a practical, skills-based approach that helps clients understand patterns of thought and behavior, and learn new tools for coping and resilience.
  • In addition to individual sessions, I also offer retreats that weave together EMDR and ketamine-assisted therapy in an immersive, supportive environment. Retreats allow for deeper focus and a more transformative experience, giving clients space to step away from daily stressors and fully engage in their healing process. These intensive experiences can create meaningful shifts that might take much longer in traditional weekly therapy.

I’ve worked with people from many different backgrounds — survivors of childhood trauma, veterans and first responders, and those navigating difficult life events or losses. No matter what you’ve been through, I believe healing is possible.

My style is compassionate, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I’ll meet you where you are, move at your pace, and support you in reconnecting with your strengths. Together, we can work toward easing the pain of the past and building a future that feels calmer, safer, and more hopeful.
