About Marco Nozicka

Hello and congratulations on making this important investment in yourself and your future. As the saying goes ” the longest journey begins with a single step.” Thank you for considering me to support you in your journey.

I am a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW) an International Coaching Federation (ICF) trained Professional Coach, and a certified Hypnotherapist through the International Association of Counselors and Therapists (IACT). I have over 40 years of experience as a psychotherapist in a variety of cultures including the Caribbean Region and other diverse areas of the United States. I am a graduate of the renowned Jane Adams School of Social Work at the University of Illinois, Chicago Campus, where I studied various models of psychological approaches including one year post-graduate study with the now international expert in family therapy, Dr. Richard Schwartz, Ph.D.

I provide a safe, comfortable and confidential environment for self discovery and reflection. I work with individuals, and couples and incorporate motivational, rapid-development forward thinking solution focused approaches in my work. As a Professional Coach and former international executive, I am also skilled in working with individuals who would like to enhance their career opportunities , or performance, within their current companies or who are seeking a career transition.

I am certified as a Mediation and Mindfulness Facilitator and have been a dedicated teacher and practitioner of meditation for over three decades. I integrate solution-focused, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive therapy, and mindfulness based stress reduction with hypnosis (as indicated) and have a passion for helping my clients set clear goals and create realistic, inspired, and imaginative approaches to the areas of their lives that they want to change. I apply hypnotherapy approaches for habit and behavioral change that includes weight loss, smoking cessation, and anxiety reduction and other unproductive behaviors. My belief is that all humans have the potential to achieve their dreams and passions and have the strengths, both known, and yet to be discovered, to create a rich, full and purposeful life.

I am a long distance, cyclist, a dedicated health enthusiast and a performing musician. I like to incorporate a creative and comprehensive mind-body approach to all of my work. I look forward to the privilege of assisting you in your journey of self-discovery and unimagined potential. Thank you for considering my services.

“written in the messages. Great therapist and very welcoming and easy to talk to. Made therapy feel chill.”

“Marco is highly professional, thoroughly knowledgeable and very easy to talk with. He genuinely cares about my situation, listens carefully and responds fully with meaningful counsel. I never feel like I'm listening to a lecture, it's more like talking with a confidant. I recommend him very highly.”

“Marco listened, understood my life & situation, worked with me to help me figure out the changes I needed to make to create a better life for myself. His approach to helping his clients is very much a “bring them to their own realization” and HE’S REALLY REALLY GOOD AT IT.”

“I am happy with Marco and will continue this journey with him for as long as it takes.”

“Marco has been a godsend. I truly believe he helped me through one of the hardest times in my life last year. His patience and wisdom are beyond anything I could’ve imagined. He listens with care before offering tools and techniques that have made a huge difference for me. Thanks to his guidance, both my anxiety and the effects of childhood trauma feel much more manageable.”

“Marco is great. I can only imagine the patience required to work with couples who are having trouble. He is realistic, positive when it makes sense, always engaged, and is able to redirect. He can pull useful lessons from conflict, and is able to help us navigate and solve our own problems rather than solve them for us. Our marriage is slowly improving; every week we peel back layers together and learn new things about each other and ourselves. Our session with Marco has become our timeout space where we can regroup, refocus, and remember why we are together. He is helping us embrace our differences and create a "we first" partnership where we can not just coexist, but thrive. Highly recommend.”

“Marco was a great help to me. He has a calm, curious, and wise demeanor. He is very experienced and draws on many different modalities. 10/10.”

“Marco has been great. He's easy to talk to and has found ways for me to figure out the direction I need to go.”

“Marco has been an amazing therapist to me. He’s a very attentive listener and gives timely advice. He has worldly knowledge of eastern religions/philosophy and, I feel comfortable talking to him.”

“Great person to work with. Extremely understanding to men’s struggles with life and provides clear and precise techniques in order to move from nihilism into purpose and acceptance. I love working with him.”

“Marco is great at his work. He keeps the focus and ensures that he’s understanding what you’re talking about. Marco makes you feel heard and understood.”

“We really benefited from marital counseling with Marco. His approach focuses more on where we want to go, verses where we have been or details in our past. This worked for the purpose of what we needed.”

“Amazing and great person to talk to. Listens and is very understanding.”

“Marco has been so helpful for me with a family situation that had been quite troubling. His calm demeanor and guiding me towards not getting "hooked" with this family member made so much difference for our relationship. I highly recommend Marco as a therapist.”

“Excellent therapist”
