Dr. Nicole C. Muller
Clinical Psychologist, specializing in EMDR, ACT, and mindfulness-based approaches. Located in the San Diego area and online for California residents.
Dr. Muller is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in the treatment of PTSD, substance use/addiction issues, and anxiety. She also works with clients experiencing insomnia, depression, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, chronic pain, and life issues such as grief, personal growth, and relationship problems. She takes a trauma-informed, biopsychosocial approach to treatment and believes in treating the whole person, rather than just focusing on symptom management. Her commitment to a strength-based approach to treatment guides her work.
Dr. Muller is a trained EMDR therapist. She has been providing trauma and addiction focused EMDR both in-person and through telehealth for over 5 years. She has undergone training to deliver other evidence-based treatments for PTSD, including Trauma Focused CBT and Prolonged Exposure. She takes an integrative approach to treatment with an emphasis on utilizing mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). She believes that there is no single approach that will work for everyone, so it is important to take time to find out what each client’s needs are and meet each person where they are at.
She received her B.A. in Psychology from the University of California, Santa Cruz. She went on to earn her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University in San Diego.
