Gail Nicholson, MA, LPC, Personal and Career Counselor

About Gail  /  My Approach

I am passionate about helping individuals find a deeper connection with their life and work life, and have over 20 years experience as a personal and career counselor, teacher of career and life planning, and facilitator of groups and workshops.  I enjoy working with people from different backgrounds from all parts of the working world, who want to bring their authentic self to work.

Known for developing a whole person approach to career counseling, I provide an in-depth assessment and coaching to help you identify and begin to explore options that are a good match for you. This approach can help you define and clarify a more satisfying direction, because the planning process is based on what really matters to you.  As a personal counselor, I also have an interest in helping you deal with issues, either internal or external, that are affecting your progress.

Committed to making the world a better place, I take great joy in watching my client's goals and dreams come into focus as they deepen their self-awareness and connect their positive energy with the community and marketplace.

I received a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Antioch University and a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Lewis & Clark College.  Current member and past president of the Oregon Career Development Association and member of the Employee Assistance Program Association, Oregon Counseling Association and the International Association of Collaborative Professionals. As a
licensed counselor I follow the ethical guidelines set forth by the Oregon State Board of Licensing for Professional Counselors and Therapists.
