“I believe therapy can assist you in navigating your path to a place that feels gratifying.”

Hi, I’m Nicole Lako, licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in the San Francisco Bay Area with 17 years experience providing therapy to adults, children and couples in my office and online. I have 14 years experience consulting with early childhood educators on the social emotional and mental health needs of young children and with parents of young children who seek support with behavioral and emotional concerns at school and/or home. My certifications include Gottman Bringing Baby Home facilitation, Level 1 clinical training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Prepare/Enrich facilitation for premarital couples and Child Parent Psychotherapy with the Child Training Institute. I hold a BA from Boston College and a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. Much of my free time is spent playing outside with my husband of ten years and our two young children.

Please contact me at 415.820.1620 for a free 15 minute consultation. Finding the best fit when searching for a therapist can be challenging, but not impossible. A good connection with a therapist makes it possible to safely address and work through painful patterns and struggles. Our work together will allow you the opportunity to explore the past and present, to heal, to develop healthier relationships and to live a more satisfying life. I look forward to speaking with you.
