Codependency Therapists in Fort Leavenworth, KS

Dr. Jolene Nichols is a Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor and specializes in providing high quality individualized outpatient treatment for individuals and/or their families struggling with substance use disorders. At Nuhope Services not only do we partner with each individual in their road to recovery but we customize the service. We meet each person where they are currently in order to take them where they want to be in life and living a life of sobriety free from alcohol and drugs.

The person most likely to benefit from sessions is looking to make changes in their life, and is open to looking at him/herself for the purpose of growing in self-understanding and self-mastery. There are times when the change is as singularly focused as one's own perspective. Exploring one's own strengths, honestly identifying one's areas of need within the context of personal values often become the frame within which one identifies options and is enabled to make healthy choices to resolve problems and make peace with life again.

Lisa works well with people who want change and to improve their lives.

Lisa generally uses cognitive - behavioral, solution focused therapy, and eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR).

You stare out the window, asking yourself how did I get here. Wondering where that sense of control and safety that you once experienced went to and trying desperately to figure out how to get it back. You deal with with the feelings of disappointment and sadness in silence. This feeds the anxious thought that things are not going to get better and/or the depressive thought that you are not enough. Leaving you feeling helpless and vulnerable. So you stare out the window, because surely the answer is just over the horizon; holding onto hope but also feeling emotional and physical fatigue. Knowing that you want help without judgement.

My ideal client is one who is motivated to work on things that will improve their life and hopes to explore the situations and stresses in life collaboratively. I like to focus on helping people grow through feeling understood and cared for as well as to understand themselves and their relationships more accurately. My experience includes work with a variety of different client experiences, including trauma, relationship struggles, family stress or disfunction, divorce and blended family issues, shared custody/visitation, parent-child relationship, child behavior issues, loss, traumatic injury, terminal illness, aging, and more.

I believe that we all reach places in our lives where we are learning, unlearning and possibly relearning the existential areas of: who am I, what do I want, and what are my barriers & blind spots? Some may need support identifying or answering these questions cause they can be overwhelming. We often develop limitations in efforts to cope with grief, stress, control, hurt & relationships. So do you wonder,"What might be getting in my way or holding me back?", or "What I am avoiding?" or "Do I want to be more effective in my relationship?" Therapy can support you when you are answering these incredibly rich questions for yourself.

I see a wide variety of individual and couples clients who hope to improve their circumstances (ages 15-99). Most of my clients have experienced some form of past hurt or other struggle. I work to manage conflict, disappointment, hurt feelings, sadness, grief, loss, or other strong emotions. My approach is empathic/patient but directive. My strategies are adapted from my experience with trauma (CPTSD), attachment, family dynamics, codependency, toxic shame, grief and loss, parent-child relationships (incl. estrangement), premarital counseling, life transitions. I hope my clients experience peace as a result of our work together!

I am passionate about helping people in the process of self-discovery and personal growth.

I earned my Master of Arts degree in Counseling from MidAmerica Nazarene University and am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the State of Kansas.

Hello there! Life has felt overwhelming for many of us these past few years, and I'm so happy you are here looking for some extra support. Therapy can provide a nonjudgmental and objective space to help process the stressors of life. You may be here because you are dealing with things like emotional detachment, insomnia, nightmares, avoidance, irritability, depression, and intrusive thoughts (which can all be reactions to painful life events). Our brains can and do heal just like other parts of our bodies, and that healing can have big impacts on not only ourselves but those we love.

Are you feeling gloomy, stuck or unmotivated? Do you find it difficult to shut your thoughts off at night because of scattered thoughts? Does the harmony in your love relationship need a reset? Is achieving work-life balance difficult? Are you transitioning out of a relationship and want support? Perhaps you are a survivor of narcissistic abuse by a partner, parent or employer? Whatever it is, your goal for happiness is important and it's OK to receive care on your journey.

Couples tend to be the relationship dynamic most likely to seek out therapy, but all relationships are important. Relationships I work with include, but are not limited to: marital, intimate partner, co-parent, sibling, friend, and workplace relationships. We tend to find ourselves repeating old patterns of attachment and communication created during formative years. This can lead to feeling stuck, frustrated, and disconnected. While two people are required to create a pattern in a relationship, one person can often effectively change the dynamic through learning new skills, setting healthy boundaries, and improving communication.
