Jason Nicholsen
Chicago

As a Behavioral Health Care Manager with a Masters in Social Work, I support individuals navigating life's challenges, personal growth, and health changes. My experience includes behavioral health integration, where I help individuals manage mental health needs while considering their whole wellbeing. My approach is person-centered and holistic, integrating evidence-based techniques like motivational interviewing. I am passionate about LGBTQIA+ care, HIV management, and supporting positive changes in relationships with substances and food. Through collaborative care coordination, ongoing support, and evidence-based strategies, I help individuals stay engaged in treatment while developing personalized tools for achieving their wellness goals

How I stay healthy and happy
I stay happy by embracing simple joys—spending time with my two cats, exploring the Star Wars universe, and prioritizing self-care with daily walks and meditation. These moments help me stay grounded and balanced amid life's challenges.
