Professional training, lived military-family experience, and a practical way of helping people move forward.
Nicole Harris, MSW is a social-work professional with behavioral-health experience in the Vicenza military community, more than two decades of military-family experience, and a practical approach to helping people work through complicated problems. Her background also includes military-community programming, family support, program development, and senior operational leadership — useful when the problem is partly personal and partly practical.
Professional background
- Master of Social Work (MSW), Salisbury University — degree conferred May 2026.
- Completed MSW clinical internship in U.S. Army behavioral-health and substance-use services in Vicenza.
- Continues behavioral-health volunteer service through the American Red Cross in the same Vicenza military setting.
- Previous MSW internship with USO Naples focused on military-community programming, family support, transitions, and resilience-oriented events.
- Former Chief Operations Officer with experience in leadership, staffing, crisis response, systems improvement, program development, community engagement, and organizational problem-solving.
How Nicole works
Nicole is direct without being harsh, practical without being simplistic, and structured without pretending people are machines. She is interested in what actually happens in your life: what sets the pattern off, what gets in the way, what you have already tried, what is realistically within your control, and what kind of change would make a meaningful difference.
She does not believe every difficult season needs a diagnosis. She also does not believe serious problems should be minimized with generic advice. Good support starts with being accurate about what the problem is — and equally accurate about the limits of the service being offered.
Credentials and scope note
Nicole uses the MSW credential to accurately describe her education. This independent service is not offered as psychotherapy, counseling, diagnosis, or clinical treatment. Any public credential language beyond the MSW should be reviewed before launch so the website does not create confusion about the legal scope of the service in Italy.
