About Nicole Saltsman, RP

As a fully licensed independent Registered Psychotherapist with CRPO, I provide trauma‑informed psychotherapy for adults living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and women navigating mental health challenges across the lifespan.

My work focuses on creating a safe, steady environment where you can understand your symptoms, make sense of your emotional experiences, and build practical skills that support daily functioning. I translate complex mind‑body concepts into clear, accessible tools that help you feel more grounded, capable, and in control.

I bring years of experience supporting people through trauma, chronic stress, chronic pain, and major life transitions. My role is to offer a calm, compassionate space where meaningful change feels possible.

My main focus is  on two distinct populations: women's mental health, especially during perimenopause and menopause and Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).

These two specific populations may be individuals who have experienced Acquired or Traumatic Brain Injury (ABI/TBI) through accidents, or have trauma experiences as first responders, survivors of violence, sexual assault, intimate partner violence, childhood trauma, relationship challenges and challenges with life stressors and transitions. These clients are often highly driven, focused and results oriented. Also, they typically have struggled for years to find suitable diagnoses and supports to assit with painful and debilitating symptoms. 

Clients often experience complex comorbidity diagnosis and symptoms including: 

• Depression, Isolation and  Anxiety
• Trauma and PTSD
• Chronic Pain
• Grief and Loss
• Stress and Burnout
• Self-Esteem
• Emotion Regulation + Distress Tolerance Challenges
• Interpersonal Relationship Challenges
• Insomnia
• Poor Cognitive Functioning: memory, focus, 'brain fog'
• Substance Use
