With a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Northern Colorado and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Denver Seminary, Nicole has honed her expertise in emotional regulation, developmental trauma, and attachment issues. Under her leadership, Calo Programs has developed specialized treatment settings tailored to meet the unique needs of different age groups, including preteens, teens, and emerging young adults.

Additionally, the Calo Transition homes for emerging young adults (ages 17-20) provide a supportive environment for young individuals to navigate the complexities of adulthood, ensuring they have the tools necessary for successful independence.

By integrating these evidence-based practices, she has cultivated a culture of healing and growth, empowering adolescents to overcome challenges and build healthier relationships. Her vision for Calo Programs continues to evolve, reflecting her unwavering dedication to improving the lives of young people and their families through compassionate, targeted therapeutic interventions.
