Therapy on Fig
Therapy on Fig
We believe therapy should be highly tailored to you. We provide individual psychotherapy to adults who believe lasting change is built on a compassionate and trusting relationship with themselves first. Our approach is trauma-informed, culturally inclusive, and identity-affirming. Using traditional talk therapy and IFS (Internal Family Systems), we specialize in trauma recovery and building systems that work with ADHD, addiction, and working through conflicts, anger, and depression.
Our clients describe themselves as creatives, artists, and professionals who are socially conscious, open-minded, neurodiverse, and peacemakers/givers.

You feel overwhelmed, stressed, unfulfilled. Maybe your relationship feels like it’s crashing and burning. You have lost motivation, direction, and a sense of purpose. You are not sure when it started, but you do not feel the same. You got here because you know something is off. But you do not want to stay this way. You want more out of friendships, coupledom, parenthood, work and life. You want to feel refreshed, energized, healthy and ready to tackle the days. You want to be back on track – like you again, but an expanded version. You want to be full of life. You want the fire back. You came to the right place. I help guys just like you get the fire back and get back to life!

As a sex therapist, couples counselor and psychotherapist, I help clients foster better relationships with themselves and their partners. I specialize in helping to negotiate desire discrepancy, low-sexual marriages, and navigate the impact of extra-marital relationships, including polyamory, consensual non-monogamy & infidelity.
Using practical, easy to implement tools, we will address and rectify what needs to shift, while emphasizing and solidifying what’s already working well. Together we will do the kind of work that produces positive, lasting change.

Dr. Nicole Bryant
Dr. Nicole Bryant
My approach when working with participants is to keep things low-key. The worst thing is an overly clinical therapist! I do my best to get on your level and to converse in the way you’d like to converse. I listen and then inform you of blind spots as needed. It helps clients remain comfortable yet always have that “aha” moment.
