Getting to know Nicole Kanke

Hi there, I'm Nicole! I graduated with my master of arts in clinical psychology in 2012 and have worked in the mental health field since 2010. I provide mental health care for trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and gender and sexual orientation issues. My approach My clinical work is trauma-focused, specifically working with those who are experiencing mental health symptoms associated with exposure to childhood trauma, sexual abuse, domestic violence, narcissist abuse, and traumatic loss. My work as a clinical is also centered around helping those experiencing issues related to anxiety, depression, divorce, substance abuse, sexual orientation, and gender identity. My focus Not only do I have professional experience working with trauma, but I also have the personal experience developing mental health symptoms after exposure to trauma. I am a therapy client myself and will use personal disclosure to help normalize reactions to trauma when appropriate. My communication style My communication style is honest and assertive while still gentle and nurturing. I enjoy listening to my clients and have developed daily mindfulness practices to increase my ability to be present while listening. I strive to maintain compassion, understanding, respect, and safety in my communication. My journey to therapy I started my first position in mental health, working at a local emergency shelter for children. Witnessing the impact of abuse and neglect on children and families sparked a passion and a fire in me that I could never turn back from. Throughout my journey as a clinician, I have received specific training and experience working with survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence, substance abuse, traumatic grief, military combat trauma, and issues related to gender and sexuality. My goals for you Success in therapy with me can provide a deeper connection to self, which results in deepening our connection to others and the world.
