Nicole Thompson

Nicole (she/her) is a queer clinical psychotherapist who supports individuals in cultivating authentic connection, liberated pleasure, and emotional resilience. With a doctorate in Clinical Psychology, Nicole offers inclusive, trauma-informed care to clients engaging in deep personal healing. Her clinical specialization and research focus on sex and relationships, including queerness, polyamory, sexual trauma, and the release of sexual shame. Her approach draws from somatic psychology, feminist relational cultural theory, and liberation-based frameworks that honor the interconnectedness of the personal and the political. Nicole is also a certified yoga teacher, integrating embodied movement and mindfulness practices to support nervous system regulation and presence. She believes healing is a relational and embodied process, one that unfolds through presence, connection, and care. Nicole received a certificate in Ketamine-Assisted Therapy from Alchemy Community Therapy Center, and has trained experientially in the modality at Sana for two years during her intermediate and advanced clinical practica. In addition to her postdoctoral work at Sana Healing Collective, she podcasts.
