You don’t have to
carry it alone.

Trauma & PTSD

Trauma can affect how you feel, relate to others, and move through everyday life. Paul and Joshua provide clinical care for trauma-related concerns.

Treatment starts with understanding your needs and discussing goals together. Ask about the provider’s approach, session options, and what to expect.

Grief & life changes

Loss doesn’t follow a schedule. You might be looking for space to talk, help with daily life, or clinical care for symptoms affecting your functioning.

Paul and Joshua provide clinical therapy. Nichole offers grief facilitation and coaching. These are distinct services; our team can help you explore an appropriate option.

Everyday mental health

Stress, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and transitions can affect relationships, work, and everyday routines.

Our clinicians use practical, individualized approaches. Your goals and preferences help shape the work.

Nichole Paladie

Grief & Life Coach

Compassionate support for life's losses, transitions, and new beginnings.

You don't have to walk through life's difficult seasons alone.

Life doesn't always unfold the way we imagined. Loss, grief, unexpected changes, and challenging life transitions can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward. Sometimes we simply need someone who will listen, understand, and walk alongside us as we find our way again.

As a Grief & Life Coach, with a background in chaplaincy, spiritual care, and grief support, I offer a compassionate and supportive space where you can share your story, explore your feelings, and discover what moving forward might look like for you. I believe every person's journey is unique, and there is no right timeline or prescribed way to navigate life's challenges.

My approach is rooted in empathy, genuine connection, and meeting people where they are. Whether you are navigating the loss of a loved one, experiencing anticipatory grief, adjusting to a major life change, or feeling ready to rediscover your purpose and direction, I will journey alongside you with understanding and encouragement.

Together, we can explore the things that feel difficult, recognize the strengths you may have forgotten you possess, and begin identifying possibilities for the future. Moving forward doesn't mean forgetting what was, minimizing what you've experienced, or having all the answers. It means learning to carry your experiences with you while making room for growth, healing, and new beginnings.

My hope is that you feel heard, valued, encouraged, and never alone in the process. You deserve the opportunity to rediscover joy, find meaning, embrace change, and create a future that feels meaningful to you.

You don't have to know exactly where you're going. We can begin right where you are, one conversation and one step at a time.

Honoring where you've been, embracing where you are, and discovering the possibilities of where you can go.
