Nicole Borneman, MA

Nicole Borneman (she/her) works with individuals (10+), romantic partners, and families. Nicole has experience working with nontraditional relationship structures and has completed training in Discernment Counseling for couples who are trying to determine whether to stay together or separate.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, Nicole specializes in relationship challenges. Whether clients are navigating the dating scene, healing from a breakup, considering going low- or no-contact with a family member, or wanting to improve communication within their existing relationships, Nicole believes therapy can help.

Nicole is a queer-identified and queer-affirming provider. She enjoys working with queer and trans clients as well as clients who are exploring their sexuality. Other areas of interest include anger, anxiety, and religious trauma. Prior to working in the mental health field, Nicole was an editor at a New Age publishing company, and she relishes opportunities to work with fellow creatives and those with nontraditional belief systems.

The foundation of Marriage and Family Therapy is systemic thinking, and to this end, Nicole will notice and name the ways oppressive systems such as the patriarchy and capitalism may be impacting clients’ well-being. Her therapeutic approach is a combination of Emotionally Focused Therapy, attachment theory, the Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems, and somatic work that unifies the mind/body connection. Additionally, Nicole offers Brainspotting and is a certified Havening Techniques practitioner.

In her free time, Nicole enjoys reading tarot cards, watching horror movies, and spending time with her cats.

Nicole is working under the licensed supervision of LynAnne Evenson, LADC, LMFT, ECSP, CST, while pursuing clinical licensure as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
