Uncover your strengths, gain clarity, and create lasting change.
Nicole Herway, LCSW
After working as a Recreation Therapist for the Department of Veteran’s Affairs for years, I pursued a Master’s of Social Work with a focus in Mental Health from the University of Utah. I spent the next 8 years working in a variety of settings: inpatient treatment centers, domestic violence shelters, foster care and adoption, hospital social work, and outpatient. In 2020, I opened my private practice and have enjoyed working 1:1 with clients, running groups, providing supervision, and training interns ever since.
I am licensed as a clinical social worker in Utah and a doctoral candidate at the University of Louisiana-Monroe in Marriage and Family Therapy with a focus on Systemic Theory. I have a certificate of completion in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) from the EMDR Institute and am a Level 1 certified Gottman Therapist. Additionally, I have advanced training in working with trauma, PTSD, attachment issues, relationship trauma, and divorce counseling.
Outside of work, I enjoy recreating in the mountains and lakes near my home with my family.
