About Nicole “Nikki” Tierney: Nicole “Nikki” Tierney received her Juris Doctor with honors from Rutgers School of Law, Newark, in 1997. She practiced law for nearly 10 years until her opioid use disorder had become so severe, she surrendered her license to practice. In 2007, after trying for years to remain abstinent from opioid and other drugs, Tierney felt helpless and attempted to end her life. Unknowingly, that began the start of her journey to health and wellness.
Since that dark day in 2007, Tierney has finally received evidence-based treatment for her previously undiagnosed mental health disorders (major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder) and has focused on living her best life and moving forward from her past negative experiences. Towards that end, she returned to Monmouth University graduate school where she obtained her Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in Addiction Studies. She graduated w a 4.0 GPA and received the 2021 Advocacy Award from the Department of Professional Counseling. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor. Tierney and her children founded a small nonprofit charity in honor of her parents, Hope is NEVER Lost and has a private practice Hope-Fullness Counseling, Prevention, and Education. She is also a policy analyst for the National Center for Advocacy and Recovery. Tierney has made it her mission to decrease stigma and barriers to treatment for mental health and substance use disorders.
