Family Therapy and Anxiety Therapy in Westchester County, NY
 

Welcome to Willow Bend Counseling

Nicole Goudreau-Green, LCSW-R founded Willow Bend Counseling in 2020 after 15 years of working in residential and outpatient therapy programs. So often Nicole witnessed parents, particularly mothers, feeling overwhelmed, confused, and exhausted in caring for a child with a mental health diagnosis.

She founded Willow Bend Counseling to be a space where families can come and get the help they need, individually or together. To be a supportive space to assist mothers and families in navigating development and the mental health of a child. Whether that child is 8, 15 or 25.

Willow Bend Counseling offers individual and family therapy, parent coaching and various group offerings. Willow Bend Counseling is here for you and your family to experience self-compassion, acceptance and relief.

Willow Bend Counseling is an inclusive practice that is committed to an antiracist approach and LGBTQIA+ affirming.

 
 
 

About the team

 

Nicole Goudreau-Green, LCSW-R

Nicole specializes in family therapy, parenting coaching and therapy for mothers. She supports mothers and families navigating the mental health diagnosis of a loved one, trauma, anxiety and depression.

Nicole grew up in a middle class, rural area of New Hampshire, where the entire state population is only a little larger than Westchester County, NY. Despite this discrepancy, she witnessed her fair share of mental health and substance abuse within her own family and community.

She has witnessed, professionally and personally, the resilience, strength and beauty that can come from pain, sadness, loss and fear. She has a patient, gentle, firm approach as a therapist.

When she’s not seeing clients, you can find her listening to a book, watching a Marvel movie, doing arts and crafts with her two boys, or outdoors in the sun.

Nicole values traveling and nature, so mini vacations and getting outside are a must for her and her family. She loves trying new foods, experiencing new places and cultures and listening music. Fresh air and sun, light her up, pun intended.
