Why Sacred Start?

You deserve a gentle beginning

Your story matters—your healing matters. Your slow becoming matters.

Sacred Start Counseling is built on the belief that even the smallest step - the mustard-seed-sized moment of choosing yourself - can move mountains over time. Healing doesn’t have to be rushed, forced, or perfect. Here, you’re invited to slow down, gather yourself, and begin again with support. Whether you are navigating anxiety, old wounds, family patterns, or the weight of everyday life, this is a place where you’re met with warmth, dignity, and hope.

Ready to begin your sacred start?

Your healing doesn’t have to wait. You are welcome here - Fully, gently, and without pressure.

MEET THE THERAPIST

A smiling woman with glasses sitting on a beige couch in a well-lit room.

Hi! I’m Nicole Schatz, a Wyoming-based therapist, wife, mom, and believer in messy, authentic healing.

I help people untangle what hurts, reconnect with what’s true, and build lives that feel rooted, peaceful, and purposeful. My style is warm, relational, and down-to-earth - the kind of therapy that feels like a deep breath after a long day.

compassionate. grounded. real.

“I have been in and out of therapy most of my life, and I can honestly say that Nicole is the first therapist who has ever made me feel seen, heard, and understood. She consciously listens to help me get to the root of what I am struggling with. There is never an ounce of judgment in her presence. Nicole has a way of guiding me right to the edge of the cliff when I am facing my deepest fears, but she never pushes. She always gives me space, strength, and confidence to take the leap of faith on my own. She is gentle, kind, and incredibly intuitive. Nicole is a beautiful soul who truly cares about the people she works with. In my lifetime of working with many therapists, she stands out as someone remarkably special. I’m grateful to have found her, and I would recommend her to anyone seeking genuine healing. - C.J.

She listens with intention, challenges me in ways that help me grow, and creates a space where I always feel understood. I’m genuinely grateful for her. She’s someone you can trust with your story.” - A.V.
