Nicholas Duran(He/Him/His)

Clientele

Nick Duran, LMHC, works with millennial adults who have spent years carrying more than others realize—often moving through life with a lingering sense of overwhelm or disconnection. He supports clients navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and life transitions, with a focus on those seeking an integrative, body-centered, holistic approach to healing. Many of his clients are creatives and LGBTQIA+ individuals managing personal and professional pressures, looking to reconnect with themselves, understand their past, and cultivate self-worth.

Therapy Approach

Nick’s work is person-centered, trauma-informed, and LGBTQIA+ affirming, with an emphasis on gentle, paced healing. He integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, mindfulness, gentle movement, breathwork, expressive arts, and CBT to help clients explore where emotional pain began and how it lives in their bodies and daily lives. His sessions offer a grounded, collaborative space to slow down, listen inward, and release patterns that no longer serve. Nick empowers clients to take an active role in their growth, honoring their lived experience and supporting movement toward clarity, resilience, and peace.

Professional Background

With more than 15 years of experience in the arts and education, Nick brings a creative, intuitive lens to his therapeutic work. Living with PTSD and bipolar disorder himself, he understands mental health challenges from both a professional and personal perspective. This lived experience informs his compassionate, steady, nonjudgmental presence. Nick’s work centers healing alongside grief and trauma, helping clients transform long-held patterns while building confidence, grounding, and self-trust.
