“Between what is said and not meant and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.”

– Khalil Gibran

“Let us learn how to better partner and parent, so that we can experience as much love in our lives as possible.”

– Nicole Meyer

We help you contend with life. Period. That’s what Therapists do. Great Therapists, dare I say, will be your trusted confidante, fierce cheerleader and challenger, walking with you with the utmost respect, compassion, and competence to support and guide you to be or do something different, to improve the trajectory of your life. At times, we help you accept where you are at, with space and grace, yet we will kindly get impatient for you, if you’ve been stuck for too long.

One of the great pleasures of life is to experience and give joy and to craft meaning for our lives and others; we believe that is part of our ‘job’ and that everyone has a purpose and a calling. We enjoy helping you find yours. When you have someone in your corner, you’re bound to be inspired to do something different and reach for your highest potential. We help you develop understanding and compassion for yourself, so you can offer that to others, thrive in your relationships and accept that some relationships simply do not work well. Moreover, we encourage you to develop balance in all areas of your life to encourage success. Not surprisingly, when we address the whole person; emotional & psychological, physical (body & nutrition), social & relational, environmental, financial, work & leisure, contribution & growth, and for many, spiritual, we inspire optimal health and well-being.

We all have obstacles to overcome and at times, need help to work through the ups and downs. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, parenting, relational frustrations – or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better future and a way through. We’re here to walk with you, to help you find your light and shine your brightest—more often than not.

We are a small psychotherapy group practice with seasoned therapists that have over 50 years of collective therapeutic experience and much wisdom from life experience to serve you. We have pivoted to exclusively offer dynamic telehealth therapy. Prior to 2020, we enjoyed a vibrant 5-office space in the Bucktown area of Chicago for over 14 years that was loved by our clients and staff. In the era of digital options and interest in identifying other creative opportunities, there are no plans to reopen our physical space at this time. On occasion and as logistics allow, we may meet in person at a local park or trail to connect in-person. We enthusiastically seek out new learnings and methods to enhance our competence and skill set.

We love what we do and look forward to working with you.

Testimonials

“I can’t thank Nicole enough for the incredible support she’s provided over the past two years. After a challenging divorce, navigating life as a single parent was daunting, and the idea of finding love again seemed like a distant dream. However, with her unwavering guidance and compassionate expertise, she has been my anchor through the storm. She helped me heal from the wounds of my past, become a better parent, and, most importantly, rediscover the joy of love and companionship. Her wisdom and encouragement have been life-changing, and I am immensely grateful for her role in helping me rebuild my life and find happiness once more. If you’re seeking a therapist who can truly make a difference, I wholeheartedly recommend Nicole.”

“I’ve had the privilege of working with Nicole for a while now, and I can confidently say that she has been an invaluable source of support during one of the most challenging periods of my life.

Nicole is not just a therapist but a compassionate, attentive listener who genuinely cares about her clients. What sets her apart is her remarkable ability to remember the smallest details of our conversations, making me feel truly heard and understood.

In the midst of a broken heart, Nicole has been my guiding light. She has a unique talent for helping me see things from different perspectives, offering fresh insights and coping strategies that have been instrumental in my healing journey.

Her warmth, empathy, and expertise have been a lifeline for me, and I’m incredibly grateful for the positive changes I’ve experienced under her guidance. If you’re seeking a therapist who will not only mend your broken heart but also empower you to grow and thrive, Nicole is it.”

“I highly recommend NMK & Associates.
I have worked with Nicole Meyer Klarich for nearly 10 years and I have always been impressed with her clinical skills and her overall practice. I have referred many of my clients to Nicole, as well as to her associates. I have only received stellar feedback from clients regarding the work they have done with Nicole and her associates.

Nicole’s standards for her practice are exceptional. I believe she defines the standards for therapy at its best: a non-pathologizing, deeply respectful, collaborative process in which people experience their innate capacities for well-being, change, and success.”

Leann Perlman, LCPC
