I am glad you are here. My name is Nicholas Bolton. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in Columbus, OH. I work with individuals, couples, families and groups in my private practice. If any of these are true or you simply want to live a more authentic life and practice moving toward who/what is important to you then I may be of help.
I do not place my clients in boxes, apply confining labels, nor use 'cookie cutter' approaches which are common in many healthcare systems. I believe we are each unique and therefore I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client's individual needs to help attain the personal growth they're striving for.

Services
I have a private practice located in Columbus, OH and see children, adolescents, families and adults for various issues including early developmental trauma, relationship challenges, chronic stress and overwhelm, adjustment problems, complex trauma, grief and loss, anger, anxiety, depression, eating patterns, addiction, obsessive compulsive tendencies, boundaries, communication, empowerment, resilience building etc.
E-counseling, sometimes referred to Telehealth, allows the client and counselor to meet through audio and video over the internet. I utilize a secure, HIPAA compliant, web-based technology (similar to Skype, but easier to use) in conjunction with webcams to provide two-way, interactive video counseling sessions over the internet.
Although only recently embraced by Western psychology, mindfulness practices and techniques have been part of many Eastern philosophies, such as Buddhism, Taoism, Tai Chi, Hinduism, and most martial arts, for thousands of years. The various definitions of it revolve around bringing non-judgmental consciousness to the present experience, so it can be considered the art of conscious living.
I utilize a mindfulness-based behavioral approach called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The name "acceptance and commitment therapy" reflects a key message: accept what is out of your personal control and commit to action that improves your life. It's a very active form of therapy. It's not just talking about your problems and feelings.
The healing relationship has always been a crucible for mutual transformation. The bare willingness of human beings to encounter one another in the midst of our weaknesses and strengths is the quintessential transformative agent. Mindfulness is not simply a technique. It is an act of love. Our willingness to see, to hold ourselves closely just as we are, while being this way with another, is a revealing and deeply healing expression of care.

Nicholas creates an incredibly safe space and a unique kind of stillness in which I was able to make significant discoveries about myself and my nervous system. Even after spending many years spelunking my own depths, I was able to find new resource and move into a more harmonious and empowered way of being.
