Adam Nickell, LCSW
EMDR Consultant
My focus is to help people ‘get past their past’ and live true to themselves. As it is especially challenging with experiences of trauma to do this and get ‘unstuck’, I am passionate about learning and mastering techniques to resolve trauma. As an EMDR consultant, my goal is to facilitate understanding of the underlying AIP model and how this affects conceptualizing cases, apply the basic model with confidence and clarity, and know when adjustments to the basic model is helpful or necessary.
I graduated with by BSW in 2012 and my MSW in 2014 and have been working in a mental health setting focusing on trauma throughout my career in rural community mental health clinics. I completed an internship with the mental health clinic at IHS in Fort Hall, ID and loved getting to know people of many different backgrounds and perspectives. I am passionate about diversity and the incredible growth that is facilitated by respectful discussion of differing perspectives.
