Becky’s Credentials

About Becky Nickol

For more than thirty years, Becky Nickol has been helping individuals realize their full potential. As a result of her work as a mental health counselor, specializing in children’s counseling, Becky has mastered the skills needed to help her clients see things in positive new ways, heal hurts and pains from the past, and create new beginnings. Her unique horticultural garden therapy practice provides her clients with a safe haven of organic and butterfly gardens and a greenhouse.

“Children respond to nature,” explained Becky. “They open up and share much more in the serene setting of a garden than they would in the traditional (and oftentimes frightening) environment of a counselor’s office. My gardens have a healing power and energy that children can immediately relate to and recognize.”
