Private Consultation Services

Nicole Bartolini, LCSW

Individual or Family End-of-Life Consultation 

Nicole brings over 20 years of experience working in multiple settings, including Palliative care/Advance Care Planning and Hospice.  Each 90-minute session is tailored entirely to you, exploring your personal history, values, and beliefs at your own pace. Drawing on a psychodynamic approach, sessions may include clarifying your end-of-life wishes, education about your options, guidance on essential planning documents, and facilitated family meetings.

My Approach

I meet each person where they are in their own process. Using a therapeutic framework, I support individuals and their loved ones in processing what lies ahead.

What We Work On Together

  • Clarifying your beliefs, fears, and wishes surrounding dying and death

  • Making informed decisions about healthcare and end-of-life wishes, including completing essential documents such as an Advance Directive, Dementia Directives, among others

  • Initiating meaningful conversations with the people who matter most — family, friends or others involved in your care

  • Exploring resources and practical tools — including a helpful guide to organize everything your loved ones will need when the time comes.

    You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
