Nicole Ohebshalom is a psychotherapist in Silicon Valley, and San Francisco in California and Greenwich, CT providing individual psychotherapy, sex therapy, and couples therapy to adults. Her work is conducted through online therapy for California residents.
Her PhD is in Human Sexuality where her dissertation research focused on the forgiveness process for married women who meditate. She earned an MA in Clinical Counseling from New York University, with additional certification from NYU's Transdisciplinary Violence and Trauma Studies Program, where she trained under renowned psychologist Carol Gilligan, PhD, which greatly influences her work. She completed training at Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy’s Trauma Studies program and a fellowship at San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute.
She is currently an EMDR and traumatology training teacher at Sonoma Psychotherapy Training Institute. She served on the Board of Directors for the Northern California Center for Emotionally Focused Therapy (NCCEFT). Her clinical certifications include:
- EMDRIA Certified Therapist and Consultant in EMDR
- ICEEFT Certified Therapist and Supervisor Candidate in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples and Individuals
- AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, and Doctorate in Human Sexuality
- PSI Certified Maternal Mental Health Therapist
She holds advanced training in Deep Brain Reorientation, Gottman Couples Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Nonviolent Communication, TEAM-CBT, certified grief therapy, and sophisticated somatic modalities.
She has held a thirty-five year dedicated meditation practice in 25+ years in kundalini and 10+ years in vipassana. She believes meditation builds the self-soothing and self-regulation skills that are the foundation of every strong, satisfying relationship — with yourself and with others. I’ve been studying sexuality for the last twenty years with various teachers. This integration of neuroscience-informed modalities with embodied awareness creates a therapeutic approach that is both intellectually rigorous and somatically grounded. She has particular research and clinical expertise in authenticity with one's self and in relationships, trauma, interpersonal communication, mindfulness, women’s health, and sexuality.
She created a therapeutic approach that integrates self-sovereignty, sexuality, trauma, and relational intelligence, which stems from decades of my own healing and continuous professional training. Her work is grounded in the belief that wholeness emerges through connection and integration— within ourselves and with others — not correction.
She provides an attuned, LGBTQ+ safe, and neurodivergent-affirming space for individuals and couples.
