Nicole Freeman, LMFT • LPCC
Strawberry Fields Psychotherapy
I work with high-functioning, psychologically minded individuals—including professionals, graduate students, and therapists—who are ready to move beyond understanding themselves and begin creating meaningful, lasting change.

You’ve done the work. You can name your patterns, your history, even your defenses. You’ve likely been in therapy before. But something isn’t shifting. You may find yourself: Repeating the same relational dynamics. Feeling caught between control and overwhelm. Intellectually understanding your experience, but not living differently. Feeling frustrated that awareness hasn’t created change
This is not a lack of insight. It is a problem of translation.

My work focuses on helping you translate insight into change.
Together, we examine:
What is maintaining your current patterns
The emotional and relational costs of changing them
The ways your internal and external systems reinforce the status quo
This is not passive therapy. It is active, collaborative, and at times direct. Meaningful change requires more than understanding. It requires engaging with the structures that keep you where you are.
My approach is integrative and depth-oriented.
I draw from:
Depth Psychology (Jungian/psychodynamic) to explore identity, unconscious patterns, and meaning
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support emotional regulation and behavioral change
Existential therapy to address questions of authenticity, responsibility, and direction
Trauma-informed care, including EMDRIA-certified EMDR, to process experiences that remain unintegrated
Polyvagal-informed and somatic approaches to support nervous system regulation
This allows us to work across both insight and action—not choosing between them, but integrating them.
-
This work is well-suited for individuals who are:
Insightful, reflective, and psychologically minded. High-functioning but internally struggling. Open to being challenged, not just supported. Ready to examine both internal experience and relational patterns. Motivated for change, even when it is uncomfortable
Many of my clients have had prior therapy and are looking for something more direct, integrative, and transformative.

Over time, this work supports a different way of moving through your life.
You begin to feel less governed by old patterns, emotional reflexes, and inherited roles. You develop the capacity to pause, reflect, and respond with greater intention. Relationships become less about performance, protection, or repetition—and more about honesty, choice, and connection.
The goal is not to avoid difficulty. The goal is to meet it with more clarity, agency, and internal steadiness.
