Nicholas Krochta, MA

I see therapy as a shared space for exploration, reflection, and growth—where each person brings their own story, strengths, and goals. Together, we co-create a process that is shaped by your needs and values. I believe that every person holds the capacity for healing and meaningful change, and my role is to support and guide that process with curiosity, care, and respect. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Iowa and am currently pursuing a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at DePaul University.

My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, flexible, and grounded in collaboration. I draw from psychodynamic, strength-based, and person-centered frameworks to help build a space where clients can safely explore their experiences and take steps toward the life they want to lead.I enjoy working with teens, young adults, adults, and couples across diverse identities and backgrounds. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief and loss, relationship and communication challenges, and self-esteem and self-efficacy.

I tailor each therapeutic process to fit the unique needs and goals of the person I'm working with, honoring that no two individuals heal in the same way. At the heart of my work is a commitment to creating a warm, inclusive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel seen and supported. I recognize that reaching out for help is a meaningful and sometimes vulnerable step, and I consider it a privilege to be part of the process. I look forward to supporting you as you create new insight, deepen self-understanding, and build toward lasting change.
