Nicole Serrano

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“I provide healing, support and growth to individuals seeking to learn and find relief from stress, engrained cycles, toxic cycles and trauma. Online & Phone”

About Me

I offer a supportive space for individuals ready to understand and break free from stress, repetitive patterns, or the lasting impact of trauma. We can work together to explore underlying issues and develop practical strategies for change. Using approaches like EMDR, I guide you towards finding relief and building resilience. My aim is for you to feel heard and discover new ways to move forward. Sessions are available conveniently online or by phone.

Approach

When someone is ready to untangle persistent patterns or the echoes of past pain, I create a steady, predictable rhythm to our meetings that balances safety with forward motion. I meet with people remotely from Rancho Cucamonga and offer sessions in English or Spanish to keep continuity through life’s shifts. In-session I track triggers, pace processing of difficult memories, and practice small, practical skills; between meetings I suggest brief experiments to test change and build strength. This way of working often helps adults and older adults seeking clear steps and compassionate steadiness.
