Meet our Therapists

Nick Riehlmann, LCSW

Hi, Everyone! I’m a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist committed to helping individuals improve their emotional well-being, strengthen their relationships, and navigate life’s challenges with more clarity and resilience.

I specialize in:
- Couples therapy
- Substance use and recovery
- Men’s issues
- Grief and loss
- Anxiety and depression
- Weight management
- Couples counseling  

With over eight years of experience, I’ve worked across a wide range of clinical settings — including inpatient settings, correctional facilities, residential substance use programs, and group practice. These experiences have shaped my grounded, direct, and supportive approach to therapy. I earned my Master of Social Work from Tulane University in my hometown of New Orleans and bring a practical, compassionate lens to helping clients create lasting change in their lives and relationships.

I specialize in supporting:
- Youth and young adults navigating trauma

I earned my Master of Arts in Social Work from the University of Chicago’s Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice.
