Nichole Klebba

I am a fully Licensed Clinical Social Worker with both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Clinical Social Work from Michigan State University.  Since 2007, I have built extensive experience in my field, combining a broad understanding with specialized expertise in key areas.

I'm deeply passionate about our Mind-Body connection and how the brain and body can work together to heal from conditions like chronic pain or symptoms (like IBS, headaches, fibromyalgia, etc.) anxiety and depression. It’s incredible what becomes possible when we take a more holistic view of health. I’ve earned a certificate in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), an evidence-based psychological treatment that aims to change the brain’s response to pain signals, and I enjoy using Internal Family Systems (IFS) strategies, Somatic Experiencing (SE), as well as a variety of trauma informed, solution-oriented approaches to help clients learn to cultivate self-compassion, to embody boundaries, courage and curiosity for themselves.

With lived experience as a mother of two, I understand the realities of fertility challenges, postpartum mental health, caregiving in the sandwich generation, and the peri/menopausal transition. With experience in health and wellness and substance abuse treatment, I have also devoted much of my career to palliative and hospice care, walking alongside individuals and families as they face loss and grief.

For meaningful healing and personal growth to take place, I believe the therapeutic relationship must feel safe, supportive, and grounded in trust. When there's a genuine connection built on mutual respect, it creates the space needed to explore life’s challenges with honesty and compassion. 

In my spare time, I enjoy early morning lap swimming and cheering on my soccer-obsessed kids from the sidelines. I love experimenting in the kitchen and have a real soft spot for ’90s music. To support my well-being, I maintain a daily breathwork and vagus nerve toning practice to help keep my nervous system regulated and resilient.

I specialize in:

  • Chronic Pain

    Your body and mind are in constant conversation. When you live with chronic pain or symptoms, your nervous system can stay on high alert, amplifying both physical sensations and emotional stress. Over time, this cycle can make pain feel like it's your only destiny.

    By understanding how thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations interact, we can interrupt that cycle. Through nervous system regulation, cognitive strategies & understanding mind-body science, you can begin to calm the body’s stress response & retrain your brain—helping reduce pain intensity, improve mood, and restore a greater sense of control & safety.

    Healing is possible- without surgeries, injections & so many of the things you've tried and not gotten long term relief from. 

  • Grief

    Even in life’s heaviest seasons, healing is possible. Grief can feel overwhelming—whether it comes from the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a dream, or a life chapter. I walk alongside you with compassion, helping you make sense of the pain while gently uncovering moments of peace, connection, and renewed purpose.

    Together, we’ll create a safe space where your story can be honored, your emotions can be expressed without judgment, and your heart can slowly learn to hold both the sorrow and the hope for what’s ahead. Our goal is not to “get over” grief, but to help you integrate your loss into your life in a way that allows meaning, love, and possibility to grow again.

  • Maternal Mental Health

    Motherhood is a profound journey—one filled with love, change, and sometimes, unexpected challenges. Whether you’re navigating pregnancy, postpartum adjustments, fertility struggles, or the shifting identity that comes with being a mother, you don’t have to go through it alone.

    I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can share your story, process complex emotions, and learn tools to care for both your mind and heart. Together, we’ll work to ease feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, sadness, or isolation, helping you reconnect with your sense of self and your capacity for joy.
