About me
Hello and congratulations on making this important investment in yourself and your future. As the saying goes " the longest journey begins with a single step." Thank you for considering me to support you in your journey.
I am a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW) an International Coaching Federation (ICF) certified Professional Coach, and a certified Hypnotherapist through the International Association of Counselors and Therapists (IACT). I have over 40 years of experience as a psychotherapist in a variety of cultures including the Caribbean Region and other diverse areas of the United States. I am a graduate of the renowned Jane Adams School of Social Work at the University of Illinois, Chicago Campus, where I studied various models of psychological approaches including one year post-graduate study with the now international expert in family therapy, Dr. Richard Schwartz, Ph.D.
I provide a safe, comfortable and confidential environment for self discovery and reflection. I work with individuals, couples, and families, with specific expertise in supporting parents in raising proud, resilient and capable children. As a Professional Coach and former international executive, I am also skilled in working with individuals who would like to enhance their career opportunities within their current companies or who are seeking a career transition. I have extensive workplace expertise that include enhanced leadership impact, developing exceptional communication skills, conducting difficult conversations and high impact presentation and influencing skills, to name a few.
I am certified as a Mediation and Mindfulness Facilitator and have been a dedicated teacher and practitioner of meditation for over three decades. I integrate solution-focused, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive therapy, and mindfulness based stress reduction with hypnosis (as indicated) and have a passion for helping my clients set clear goals and create realistic, inspired, and imaginative approaches to the areas of their lives that they want to change. I apply hypnotherapy approaches for habit and behavioral change that includes weight loss, smoking cessation, and anxiety reduction and other unproductive behaviors. My belief is that all humans have the potential to achieve their dreams and passions and have the strengths, both known, and yet to be discovered, to create a rich, full and purposeful life.
I am a long distance, cyclist, a dedicated health enthusiast and a performing musician. I like to incorporate a creative and comprehensive mind-body approach to all of my work. I look forward to the privilege of assisting you in your journey of self-discovery and unimagined potential. Thank you for considering my services.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Marco Nozicka. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Marco is the greatest!
Marco is great. I can only imagine the patience required to work with couples who are having trouble. He is realistic, positive when it makes sense, always engaged, and is able to redirect. He can pull useful lessons from conflict, and is able to help us navigate and solve our own problems rather than solve them for us. Our marriage is slowly improving; every week we peel back layers together and learn new things about each other and ourselves. Our session with Marco has become our timeout space where we can regroup, refocus, and remember why we are together. He is helping us embrace our differences and create a "we first" partnership where we can not just coexist, but thrive. Highly recommend.
Marco is great at his work. He keeps the focus and ensures that he’s understanding what you’re talking about. Marco makes you feel heard and understood.
We really benefited from marital counseling with Marco. His approach focuses more on where we want to go, verses where we have been or details in our past. This worked for the purpose of what we needed.
Excellent therapist
My husband and I can't say enough about how much Marco has helped us feel more confident in our relationship. He is a fantastic listener and observer and uses his knowledge to help us stay connected as a couple in a more positive and productive manner. We are incredibly grateful for his time and understanding. We appreciate him as a counselor and person for he is very relatable and real.
Marco has a really calm and patient approach. Ask various questions to see both perspectives in couples therapy.
Marco is a very good critical listener who clarifies when needed. I felt heard and understood.
