Hi, I'm Nicole, the administrative assistant for Kristen Deuzeman and Thrive Psychological Services! I'm currently a student of web development at Algonquin College, but I have plenty of prior experience (personal and educational) studying mental health as I've worked to increase my own sense of well-being. That passion for mental wellness translates to my job as I prioritize being a welcoming and supportive first point of contact for all clients of our clinic. I will often be the first person you speak with whenever you call or email our clinic. It's my priority to respond to all messages in a timely manner, and to follow through with each client request to ensure you get the assistance you need, whether you're looking to book your very first appointment or have been seeing us for a long time already. Oftentimes, my job entails matching you with the practitioner at our clinic that I think best meets your needs, but when there's something I can do directly you can bet I'll do my best to help! Aside from my current studies in web development, I also have an eclectic history studying forensic science, anthropology, social sciences, and even veterinary medicine. I love to learn and I enthusiastically bring that passion for education to my work as an administrative assistant. I look forward to speaking with you and helping to support your ongoing mental wellness journey!
