Directory of Inner Relationship Teachers

Carol J. Sutherland Nickerson, MSW, LICSW

I am a psychotherapist in private practice (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) and Certified Focusing Teacher/Professional on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. I have been in the field of human services/mental health for over 20 years. I work with all ages and a variety of issues. In addition, I provide clinical supervision to mental health professionals and consultation service to public and private schools as well as agencies. I love my work as much now as I did when I was starting out in this field.

I earned my B.A. in Sociology at Ithaca College, NY and my Master’s Degree in Social Work at Boston College, MA. I study and practice a variety of treatment approaches including, but not limited to: Internal Family Systems (IFS), Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Expressive Art Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Attachment Therapies. Each approach provides me with rich learning and valuable tools. However, it is the practice of Inner Relationship Focusing that best serves to bring together my education, experience and training, in a simple yet powerful way of working with people as they take steps to improve, feel better, and to experience deeper meaning in their lives.

I have studied with Ann Weiser Cornell since 2004. I was easily able to integrate Inner Relationship Focusing into my clinical practice and I consider it to be the best relational, mind-body, mindfulness process. This process enables people to cultivate the capacity for optimal well-being due to its positive neuro-bio-psycho-social-emotional benefits.

I provide:
• Focusing Oriented Psychotherapy
• Guided Focusing sessions in person and on the telephone.
• Focusing classes/workshops.
