ABOUT ME

Hello! I am Nicole Turner Beardslee. I am the owner and operator of NTB Counseling Services. I am an LIMHP, LPC and LADC.

Basically, what that long line of letters means is that I am a Licensed Independent Mental Health Professional (NE), Licensed Professional Counselor (SD) and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (NE). I know, it is a mouthful! I carry licenses in the State of Nebraska and South Dakota.

I have been a practicing mental health professional and substance abuse counselor for over 15 years. I have acquired many tools of the trade and my brain is like a toolbox. Some of those tools include CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) which is like the workhorse of therapy tools. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), the Gottman Method of Couples therapy among others.

I specialize in the treatment of depression and anxiety, trauma, grief and substance abuse issues. Other areas of expertise include anger and stress management, couples counseling, dealing with life transitions, and building self esteem. I enjoy helping my clients improve communication and set healthy boundaries in their relationships.

Outside of my practice my husband and I are empty nesters and the proud parents of six adult children and grandparents. We are also a military family; one of our children is an active duty Marine, and my husband and son are Air Force veterans. We are a blended family; we each had three children when we married so essentially, we are the Brady Bunch. It was organized chaos at times, but we would not have had it any other way.

I’m known to be crazy for Corgi’s: we have two beloved Welsh Pembroke Corgi’s who are so much fun. I read a lot; I am a loud and proud book nerd. Other hobbies include gardening, photography, bird watching, listening to vinyl records, collecting antiques and writing.
