Makaela Bamonti
MA, LPCC
Trauma focused counseling for adolescents and adults
Makaela works primarily with adolescents and individual adults, supporting those navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, sense of identity, or significant life transitions. Her goal is to collaboratively explore ways to infuse life with meaning, belonging, and a renewed sense of purpose. She recognizes that each person is a unique symphony of selves and sensitivities, aiming to weave exploration and discovery into every session.
Makaela meets clients where they are, illuminating their innate strengths and helping them blend their individuality into the gifts they share with the world. She honors the interconnectedness of life by fostering present-moment awareness and creating a space where clients feel truly seen and supported.
Believing in the transformative power of pain, Makaela helps clients understand the stories shaping their behaviors and uncover the wisdom within those experiences. She approaches therapy with wonder and curiosity, creating a sacred, collaborative space tailored to each individual’s needs. Makaela views therapy not as an exploration of “what is wrong with you,” but rather, “what has happened to you” and how to grow from it.
In Makaela’s sessions, all aspects of who you are, are welcomed and accepted. As author Ann Voskamp beautifully states: “Shame dies when stories are told in safe places.”

Nicole understands that moving through this world can be difficult at times. She believes Therapy is a space where clients can bring their challenges and develop skills to work through them. As a somatic practitioner, Nicole utilizes the body (soma) in various ways. Her work with clients includes reuniting and tapping into the vast wisdom and information present within the body. Nicole believes that highlighting the body/mind connection can be a valuable resource, a source of information, and an entry point to understanding our past and present.
Nicole may be a good fit for you if you are looking to improve your relationships, regulate your nervous system, lean into rest, understand yourself better, have better boundaries, express creatively, tap into vulnerability and emotion, and move towards an empowered way of showing up in the world.

These challenges include but are not limited to ADHD, complex trauma, major life transitions, depression, and anxiety. Her approach utilizes many resources within somatic psychology, arts-based therapy, person-centered therapy, nature-based therapy, parts work, attachment theory, and yoga therapy.
Nicole tailors her sessions to each individual client based on their goals and circumstances. Clients have the space to be exactly who they are while exploring their growing edges. Outside of the therapeutic space, Nicole is a nature lover, music enthusiast, yoga practitioner, and poet. She earned her Masters of Body Psychotherapy degree at Naropa University.
Nicole wholeheartedly believes that therapy is a relationship based on trust. She thanks her clients for trusting her with their deep work and true selves and genuinely feels it is an honor to witness their process and be a part of their journey.
