Marco Nozicka, LCSW

Marco Nozicka recognizes that seeking therapy is an important investment in oneself and offers experienced guidance for people taking that first step. He is a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) - a licensed practitioner trained to provide psychotherapy - an International Coaching Federation (ICF) trained professional coach, and a certified hypnotherapist through the International Association of Counselors and Therapists (IACT). With over 40 years of clinical experience, he has worked across a variety of cultures, including the Caribbean region and diverse areas of the United States.

He earned his social work degree from the Jane Adams School of Social Work at the University of Illinois, Chicago campus, and completed a year of post-graduate study with Dr. Richard Schwartz, Ph.D. Marco blends motivational, rapid-development, forward-thinking, solution-focused strategies into his therapeutic work and sees clients individually and as couples. As a professional coach and a former international executive, he also assists people seeking to enhance career performance or pursue a career transition.

Marco is certified as a Mediation and Mindfulness Facilitator and has taught and practiced meditation for more than three decades. His approach integrates solution-focused therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, hypnotherapy where indicated, and relationship work informed by the Gottman Method. He applies hypnotherapy for habit and behavioral change, including weight loss, smoking cessation, anxiety reduction, and other unproductive patterns.

Committed to a creative mind-body perspective, Marco brings interests outside the office into his clinical frame - he is a long-distance cyclist, a dedicated health enthusiast, and a performing musician. He focuses on helping clients set clear goals and develop realistic, inspired strategies to pursue a fuller and more purposeful life, and he welcomes the opportunity to support individuals and couples on that journey.
