Founder & Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Joella Nicole is the founder of Cascadia Family Therapy in Bend, Oregon. With more than a decade of experience in private practice, she’s dedicated to helping clients build self-awareness, heal relationships, and create meaningful change.
The pandemic deepened her mission to make compassionate, qualified care accessible to those navigating an increasingly complex world. Joella believes that therapy should honor each client’s lived experience while equipping them with practical tools to move forward.
At Cascadia Family Therapy, Joella leads a team committed to:
-
Building collaborative, trusting relationships that foster real growth
-
Offering culturally informed, whole-person care
-
Empowering both clients and clinicians with knowledge and skill
Joella founded Cascadia Family Therapy in 2015, inspired by her lifelong love for Central Oregon—a place she first discovered on a family vacation in 1992. She remains passionate about gathering insights from her work to continually improve service to the community.
We believe that you hold the key to your growth
Here’s what therapy can look like:
- A personalized process to uncover hidden beliefs and patterns influencing your daily choices.
- Guidance in translating emotional awareness into actionable steps for real-world growth.
- Support in recognizing the connection between childhood experiences and current relationships.
- Practical tools to identify unconscious triggers and respond intentionally in everyday life.
- Encouragement to view emotions as signals and opportunities rather than obstacles.
- Strategies to build daily habits that reinforce your desired identity and values.
- Therapists who partner with you, empowering your strengths rather than simply diagnosing problems.
- Opportunities to safely experiment with new behaviors, fostering lasting, meaningful change.
Our role is to guide you along the path.
