Meet Nicole Sandoval, LCSW
Nicole Sandoval is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals of all ages find balance, confidence, and clarity in their lives. She brings a compassionate and collaborative style to her work, grounded in evidence-based practice and trauma-informed care.
Nicole earned her Master of Social Work from Fordham University and her Bachelor of Social Work from Bridgewater State University. Her clinical experience spans children, adolescents, and adults across both school-based and outpatient settings, addressing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and developmental needs. As a school social worker, she developed a strong understanding of how environmental, familial, and academic stressors can affect mental health across the lifespan.
Nicole's therapeutic approach is warm, strengths-based, and highly individualized. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies to help clients manage anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and stress, while building insight, emotional regulation, and practical coping skills. She is also a LENS Neurofeedback provider, offering an innovative, evidence-informed option for clients seeking greater nervous system balance and resilience. Nicole is particularly passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and autism, and creating a safe, affirming space where clients feel understood and empowered.
At Hope on ACK, Nicole provides both in-person and virtual sessions for clients across the lifespan—children, teens, young adults, and adults. Whether she's working with a child building emotional regulation skills, an adult seeking greater balance and connection, or anyone navigating identity, life transitions, or the day-to-day demands of a neurodivergent experience, Nicole meets each client where they are, with empathy, curiosity, and a deep respect for their unique story.
Outside of her clinical work, Nicole enjoys spending time with family, exploring the outdoors with her dog, and connecting with her coastal roots on Nantucket.
Meet Paige Noland, LCSW
Paige Noland is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that healing begins with connection. She works with children, adolescents, and adults, and her practice rests on a simple idea: that lasting change grows out of safe, trusting relationships. Operating from an attachment-based lens and grounded in trauma-informed care, Paige offers her clients a calm, steadying presence—a space where they can slow down, feel held, and move toward their goals at a pace that feels sustainable and true to who they are.
Paige earned her Master of Social Work from Boston University, along with a Certificate in Children, Youth, and Families. She also holds a BS in Public Health and a BA in Political Science from Tulane University—a background that shapes how she thinks about mental health, always with an eye toward the larger systems, communities, and relationships a person is part of.
Paige has always been especially drawn to working with children and to supporting people navigating trauma, disability, and neurodivergence. Her clinical path has taken her through residential and school-based programs, pediatric behavioral health, and community case management. Along the way, she has provided individual, group, and family therapy, coordinated care for clients with complex needs, and supported neurodiverse individuals navigating developmental and behavioral challenges. She has also stepped into a teaching role for her colleagues, training other staff to strengthen how therapeutic techniques are understood and put into practice.
What clients tend to notice first about Paige is her warmth. She is gentle and deeply present, and she has a natural gift for helping people feel safe enough to be honest—curious without being clinical, supportive without rushing the process. She tailors her work to each person rather than fitting them to a method, and she is especially drawn to the slow, tender, relational work that trauma recovery so often asks for. For many of her clients, she becomes a grounding presence: someone steady to return to as they do hard and meaningful work.
When she's not working, Paige is a certified yoga teacher and finds the mind-body connection just as meaningful in her own life as in her practice. She spends her free time camping, hiking, reading, and being with the people she loves and her cats—and she'll happily tell you that her morning coffee is non-negotiable.
