In Person Therapists in Lexington, KY

Over my time as a counselor over the last nearly 2 years and board-certified music therapist over the last 7 years, I have had the pleasure of working with lots of people with a variety of issues, ranging from addiction to developmental concerns, from grief to gifted students, and all while trying to assist clients in regulating anxiety, emotions, and increasing coping. I have experience conceptualizing client issues with developmental, behavioral, existential, and cognitive lenses; in short, this means, I can help clients by working to see the bigger picture.

I work with individual clients ages 12-25 on building resilience and improving self-esteem. These individuals may be struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-worth, or identity exploration (including LGBTQ+). I work with families of all identities on improving communication and reducing conflict, including parent-child conflict, sibling conflict, transitional stages, or issues related to military life.

Hello! I'm so happy you're here, whether this be your first time making the brave decision to strengthen your mental health, or if you have been to counseling before- you are all welcome here! My name is Courteney Nickodem and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor-Supervisor who has a passion for helping, supporting and encouraging my clients in a direct and result oriented setting. I utilize evidence-based practices and therapeutic techniques including: cognitive behavioral therapy, client centered therapy, strength based intervention, as well as an option to provide faith based therapy.

In a world filled with labels and titles, we are all simply human first. Being human means we are all bound to get it wrong sometimes no matter how much we have (or don’t have) figured out. Life is hard, and it’s natural that challenges sometimes cloud the way we see ourselves and the world; however, I believe worthiness is our birthright, and it is my goal as a clinician to help my clients see that their worthiness has no prerequisite and isn’t something to be earned.

Being a human in this world can be so difficult and confusing! I love to help people become a version of themselves they can feel really good about. My training helps me to help people gain insight into the ways their past experiences have shaped their present. The process of changing and doing things differently often involves working through difficult feelings such as grief, shame, and regret; no one should have to deal with these feelings alone. I am here to provide a safe space and to create the conditions necessary for healing and lasting change.

Everyone feels stressed sometimes, but what happens when it becomes too intense and takes center stage in your life? Maybe chronic and persistent worry about a stressful situation or relationship is taking control of your thoughts, or you are struggling to heal from a past trauma. Maybe you find yourself feeling physical symptoms from anxiety, like a fast heart rate, feeling nervous, difficulty sleeping, and feeling fatigued. Do you find yourself having difficulty feeling calm and at peace?

I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is comfortable, non-judgmental and empathetic. I believe that you are the expert in your life and it is my job to assist you with identifying and applying solutions to the obstacles that you are seeking help for.

There never seems to be the right time to work on yourself but the baggage seems to be getting heavier every day. You feel yourself struggling to maintain what is while desperately getting back to what once was for yourself and your family. The feelings of loneliness and sadness follow you no matter what is going on in your life and it is draining you. Everyone around you depends on you to keep going but it's so difficult to imagine living like this another day.

I'm always amazed by the transforming power that a safe relationship can have on a client. Providing a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental atmosphere enables a person to begin processing their story and face the hidden obstacles that keep them stuck in life. It is a privilege to walk alongside my clients, offering a new perspective as we explore their strengths, and find hope and new meaning in their story. As a therapist, my mission is to provide the healing space and collaborative relationship that helps a person begin to take the necessary steps to achieve their therapy goals.

Are you at your wits end as a parent? It may seem like you have tried everything, but nothing works. You may even feel like you are a "bad parent" because your child gets dismissed from preschool, refuses to go to school, can't find friends, or has terrible emotional outbursts at home. It's heart breaking. Plus, it seems unfair when you work hard to improve, but the chaos and confusion remain. I can help.

I fully believe in every individual's ability to heal from difficult life experiences. I also believe that people have a reservoir of untapped strength that enables them to work through these difficult life experiences, and make it through to the other side whole again. In the past eight years, I have worked with clients with depression, anxiety, loss/grief, substance abuse, self-doubt/shame, interpersonal problems, and have specialized in working with Veterans to help them heal wounds related to unimaginable trauma. I am certified in providing Prolonged Exposure and Cognitive Processing Therapy, both specialized treatments for trauma.

I love what I do, it is both my purpose and passion. I describe my working style as being one of a navigator. I help individuals navigate their personal struggles, desires/needs, and blind spots. I encourage my clients to take the steering wheel, while I navigate from the passenger seat. My goal is to ensure you maintain the right path and ultimately reach the desired destination. Ask yourself, am I inching closer, each day towards the best version of my life, or am I on the wrong path and going the wrong way? As far as my approach, my job is to adapt to you and figure out which therapeutic modality will be most effective.
