Getting to know Joyce Hicks-Kalvinek

I am a licensed independent mental health practitioner located in Nebraska, with a Master's in Counseling from Bellevue University. I am passionate about helping all people develop healthy coping skills to manage their day-to-day stressors. I have specialized training in trauma and addiction. My approach In my therapeutic approach, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address a range of emotional and psychological concerns. CBT helps clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, promoting healthier thinking and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques cultivate present-moment awareness and acceptance, reducing stress and enhancing emotional regulation. EMDR is particularly effective for processing trauma, using bilateral stimulation to facilitate the reprocessing of distressing memories. Together, these approaches offer a comprehensive, evidence-based framework that empowers clients to heal, grow, and thrive. My focus As a trauma and addiction therapist, I work with individuals from all areas of life and lifespan. I specialize in supporting those navigating the complexities of trauma and addiction. My patient population includes individuals who have experienced various forms of trauma-such as childhood abuse, neglect, or interpersonal violence-and who are struggling with substance use or behavioral addictions as coping mechanisms. I work with clients to address the root causes of their trauma while helping them build healthier coping strategies and life skills to overcome addictive behaviors. By creating a safe, non-judgmental space, I support clients in their journey toward healing, recovery, and long-term wellness. My communication style I strive to offer you a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings. I tend to be very laid back and let you explore what you need to in the moment.
