Molly Lyons-Sword

Director of Clinical Operations & Certified Gottman Therapist

Molly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Missouri. She earned her Masters of Science in Clinical Counseling at Central Methodist University (CMU) and was a student intern at The Counseling Hub and Boone County Mental Health Coalition, where she assessed and provided mental health interventions and resources for individuals and groups in Boone County schools.

Molly has completed Level 3 training in the highly effective Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 1, Level 2, Level 3) and has also been formally trained as in the Prepare-Enrich Premarital Couples Counseling approach. She enjoys working with diverse populations and seeks to always be open to new learning experiences.

“I enjoy working with couples because I did not see many healthy relationships growing up. I have learned so much about how to communicate and what real long-term relationships look like. I find that when couples come to a deep understanding and empathy for each other, there’s a connection that nothing else can compare. Although we all have our own relationship issues, we really are all the same... wanting to be loved, heard, seen, and know we are not alone in this world.”

Nanci Nikodym

Clinical Therapist

Nanci has earned her Master’s of Education in Counseling at Stephens College, here in Columbia, Missouri, and has earned a Bachelors in Psychology. Counseling is something Nanci has always wanted to do.

Nanci is interested in working with couples, adolescents and adults with anxiety, depression, self-esteem/self-confidence, self-image and body image issues, eating disorders, crisis and trauma, and life transitions. She is Gottman Level 2 trained.

“Being a couples therapist can be challenging but it is also deeply rewarding. I enjoy watching couples build stronger connections and work through conflict using healthy communication. It’s beautiful to see a couple share with each other in an honest, safe, and healthy way.”
