Nicole (Hartle) Bell, MA, LPC
My name is Nicole Bell and I am the owner of Synergos Counseling as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I received my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Chicago, Illinois and Bachelor's degree at UW-Madison. I believe in building a trusting relationship with clients by spending some extra time talking with clients about how they define themselves while also allowing enough time for questions. I work collaboratively with clients to sharpen their awareness of unhelpful living patterns while practicing self-empowering skills to support them in feeling stronger and more confident about their direction.
My professional experiences have allowed me to develop specialty training in anxiety-related disorders including Obsessive-Compulsive disorder using a combination of evidenced-based practices such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP). I have had the opportunity to work for some great organizations such as Meriter Hospital, UW-Madison Research Center, Institute for Juvenile Research in Chicago, Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago, Rogers Memorial Hospital, and others. I am also a proud member of the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF). You can also see my profile on Psychology Today.
