Nicole Summers-DuBois, LMFT

Nicole Summers-DuBois is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Massachusetts with five years of clinical experience. She entered the field as a non-traditional student, completing her master’s degree at age 50, and brings substantial life experience alongside her clinical training. Nicole has focused much of her work with families and teens, helping household members improve communication, learn de-escalation techniques, navigate relationship concerns, and build practical coping skills for anxiety and depression.

Her therapeutic style is eclectic and client-centered, and she often uses gentle humor to make sessions approachable and conversational. Nicole aims to create an environment where people feel respected and able to share their stories. Having learned firsthand how challenging it can be to ask for help, she draws on that perspective to support others through changes and difficult decisions, emphasizing real-world strategies and encouragement rather than judgment.

Nicole concentrates on helping clients develop tools they can use outside of sessions, and she prioritizes making therapy a comfortable, useful experience. Her combined professional training and life experience inform a collaborative approach that meets people where they are and supports steady progress.
