Marco Nozicka

Marco Nozicka welcomes those taking an important step toward personal growth and positive change. With more than 40 years of clinical experience, he brings a blend of psychotherapy, coaching, and hypnotherapy to help clients pursue clearer goals and more satisfying lives.

He is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Florida and Illinois, an International Coaching Federation-trained professional coach, and a certified hypnotherapist through the International Association of Counselors and Therapists. Marco trained at the Jane Adams School of Social Work at the University of Illinois, Chicago Campus and completed a year of post-graduate study with family therapy expert Dr. Richard Schwartz, Ph.D.

Marco has practiced in diverse cultural settings, including the Caribbean region and various areas of the United States, and he offers a calm, supportive setting for self-exploration. He works with individuals and couples, applying motivational, solution-focused, rapid-development approaches that emphasize forward movement and practical results.

As a coach and former international executive, Marco also works with people seeking to enhance career performance or navigate career transitions. He is certified as a Mediation and Mindfulness Facilitator and has taught and practiced meditation for over three decades.

Marco integrates solution-focused techniques, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive therapy, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, adding hypnosis when appropriate. He uses hypnotherapy for habit and behavior change, including weight loss, smoking cessation, and anxiety reduction. He believes people have the strengths—both known and yet to be discovered—to create a purposeful, fulfilling life.

Outside of his clinical work, Marco is a long-distance cyclist, a dedicated health enthusiast, and a performing musician, and he often incorporates a creative mind-body perspective into his work. He is based in Illinois and looks forward to supporting clients in their journeys of self-discovery and growth.
