Nick Riehlmann

Psychotherapist

Nick Riehlmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over eight years of experience working as a psychotherapist. After receiving his graduate degree at Tulane University in his hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana, he worked in a variety of clinical settings including inpatient hospitalization, incarceration, residential substance abuse facilities, and group practice. He then moved to Chicago in 2018 where he has practiced as a full-time psychotherapist ever since.

Nick has a particular interest and expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for weight management and healthy lifestyle counseling. He also works with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, stress management, men’s issues, grief and loss, substance abuse, and relationship issues. Nick also works with couples interested in pre-marital counseling and those experiencing a variety of issues including relationship conflict, communication struggles, and parenting issues.

Nick approaches the therapeutic process through a compassionate and collaborative framework. He tailors the therapeutic process to meet each client’s specific needs, and he creates a safe and judgment-free space for his clients. Though Nick often incorporates a variety of therapeutic approaches in his work, he is particularly oriented towards Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. He has also completed Level 1 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, which he uses as a basis for his work with couples. His style emphasizes mindfulness, self-compassion, reflection, and a strong therapeutic relationship as key components of his practice.
