Nicholas Godwin
Nicholas Godwin holds a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and brings a holistic, client-centered approach to care at Hillside Wellness Center.
Master of Science in Counseling Psychology
Nicholas earned a bachelor's degree in Pre-Med Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Holy Family University in Spring 2022. He originally planned to attend medical school to become a psychiatrist, but through his own therapeutic journey he realized he loved doing the day-to-day work. He took a gap year before enrolling in Holy Family's master's program in clinical counseling, graduating in May 2026.
Nicholas offers a younger, holistic therapeutic style grounded in the connection between physical and mental health, supporting clients while also challenging them to grow. He aims to foster a therapeutic space where clients feel genuinely supported, especially those who may feel as though they have never truly had someone in their corner. His goal is to provide a space free of judgment where clients feel safe to be their authentic selves.
Regardless of background, age, religion, or life experience, Nicholas strives to meet clients where they are with compassion, understanding, and respect. Whether a client's goals involve self-exploration, emotional support, personal growth, or navigating life's challenges, therapy is a space dedicated to them and their needs.
His therapeutic orientation is client-centered, as he believes each person is the expert of their own lived experience. He is also certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). While client-centered therapy and CBT are two of his primary approaches, he also draws from a variety of therapeutic modalities to tailor sessions to each client's unique needs, goals, and experiences. He believes therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process and values adapting his approach to best support each person's growth and healing.
