Nicole Safferstone (she/her), MFT-LP, is a licensed therapist based in New York, specializing in trauma, relationships, and life transitions. Her work is rooted in humanistic care, systems thinking, and trauma-informed mind-body healing — honoring your unique background, intersectionality, and lived experience. Her deep understanding of systems theory, developed through her education in Berlin, Germany and North Carolina, USA, provides her with a solid foundation to approach life's challenges from a broader relational perspective and multicultural lens. She brings a diverse professional background from an environmental/civil engineer to a yoga teacher, systemic coach, family mediator, and systemic trauma and relational therapist. 

As a fully trained EMDR therapist and current student of somatic Internal Family System (IFS), Nicole is equipped to help clients process traumatic memories, release emotional burdens, and empower your inner Self to lead while honoring every part of you — as a whole — including cultural, racial, gender, and sexual identity, as well as those parts shaped by your lived experiences. She enjoys establishing an environment where individuals, couple and family systems can explore their identity and values, find support to overcome relational obstacles, untangle rigid patterns, rebuild trust, and cultivate closeness, authenticity, and community. She welcomes you to explore an active, ongoing process of reconnecting with yourself, deepening relationships, and re-engaging meaningfully with the world around you. Healing is not a solitary process. It unfolds through gaining greater capacity, resilience, and connection from a place of inner balance. You do not need to navigate this journey alone. Nicole offers a space of warm presence, compassionate curiosity, and deep respect for your unique story — walking alongside you as you reclaim your sense of wholeness.
