Our Story
Our Mission
Honey Bee was inspired by those who made the world around us just a little bit better.
Honey Bee carries that spirit on by helping those in the community around it, and by helping others improve their lives, a little bit at a time.
Using evidence-based therapy models, Nicole uses treatments based in Neuro-Science to help you reach your wellness goals.
Bringing Honey Bee to Life
Opened in June of 2022, Honey Bee came about as an idea to serve the community in which Nicole lived. After working in agency settings, Nicole wanted a better way to care for her clients, and the freedom to give them the best treatment options.
Nicole felt that in working with her community, the most important piece is to meet people where they are at, not where society expects them to be. Honey Bee is to be a place of no judgement, a safe space to all, no matter creed, culture, religion, or identification. Your experiences are important to you, thus they are important here at Honey Bee.
