Nicole Laing, DNP, PMHNP-BC

As a professional woman in leadership, I fully appreciate the struggles that my female colleagues face while managing and balancing their personal and professional life. For many, merging personal and professional life provides its own unique stressors and the decisions you make can leave you feeling overwhelmed and uncertain; sometimes evoking emotions you thought you had overcome- or creating new ones you’ve never experienced. These arising emotions and feelings can leave anyone who is used to having everything “just so” in a state of perplexity. It’s at these times we must do our best to pivot – find new ways of being and thinking. If any of this sounds familiar to you, let’s talk.

Hello, I am Dr. Nicole Laing and I proudly hail from the island of Jamaica; migrating to the United States to pursue tertiary education. After progressing through all levels of education and clinical practice in nursing with a focus in psychiatry and mental health, I decided to delve further into my passion for mental wellness by earning a second masters in Marriage and Family Therapy and have joined Serendipity Counseling and Consulting to continue my commitment to providing optimal mental health/therapy services particularly to professional women struggling with balancing life.

I come to you with over 20 years of experience in mental wellness; inclusive of private practice, telemedicine, hospitalist; child, adolescent and adult psychiatry; substance abuse, guest lecturer, clinical specialist, and academic experience in both undergraduate and graduate nursing programs. I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, with a second degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and also an administrator in academia at the university level.
