Counseling
You’ve helped me more in the last [2, 5, 7 etc] sessions than any therapist has helped me…and I’ve been in therapy for a long time”
-Words spoken by so many of my counseling clients
It is a gift to be told that clients feel so heard, so understood, so valued, and so cared for by me. While this feedback also fuels my desire to teach other therapists what I do (so that people don’t have to go through years of ineffective or even harmful therapy), it also means that you can anticipate that this experience will be different. At Nyck Walsh Counseling and Training Center, you will receive trauma-informed, somatic, anti-oppression, Neurodivergent affirming care.
I transcend the medical model that attempts to “treat” and “fix,” and I help my clients to experience their wholeness and innate value. I get that all humans, no matter how they are wired, have strengths and challenges. And I get that some of those challenges may never change or go away, so instead I help people to grieve as they need to and find acceptance. From there, we work together to find ways to soften the impact of those challenges on their everyday life.
We will look at what’s working, what’s not working, and find strategies and supports to help you design a sustainable life that allows for your greatest freedom, pleasure, nourishment, and well-being.
Cuteness overload for your sensory delight!
We will work to dismantle the impacts of cultural/societal, institutional, interpersonal and intrapersonal oppression.
We will access your innate wisdom through:
Engaging in sensory delights
