Anxiety & Depression Counseling in Rapid City
If your mind won't stop racing. If getting out of bed feels like a victory. If you've tried to push through and it's not working anymore.
You're not broken. Your nervous system is trying to protect you. Therapy can help you understand what's happening and find a way forward that actually fits your life.
Our Approach to Anxiety
Anxiety often lives in the body as much as the mind. Nicole's approach combines traditional talk therapy with somatic awareness — helping you notice where anxiety shows up physically and develop tools to regulate your nervous system in real time.
You might learn to:
- Recognize early signs of activation before anxiety escalates
- Use breathwork and grounding techniques that actually work for you
- Understand the patterns and triggers underneath the anxiety
- Build a relationship with your nervous system instead of fighting it
Our Approach to Depression
Depression can feel like disconnection — from yourself, from others, from the things that used to matter. Nicole works with depression through a lens of compassion, helping you reconnect with your body, your values, and your sense of meaning at a pace that respects where you are.
What to Expect
Sessions are 50-60 minutes. Nicole uses an integrative approach — there's no single method imposed on everyone. Your therapy is shaped by what you need, not a protocol.
Most clients begin with weekly sessions and adjust frequency as they build stability.
