Her expertise extends to supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, and co-occurring addiction issues, offering a safe space to address complex emotional and physical concerns. She skillfully utilizes evidence-based methods such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to guide her clients through tailored treatment plans that promote healing and growth.
In addition to her trauma-focused work, Dr. Nakoski has extensive experience addressing later-life transitions, grief, and women’s issues, including postpartum depression and anxiety. She serves diverse populations, including military veterans, the LGBTQ+ community, and individuals navigating medical conditions. Her inclusive practice ensures that every client feels seen, heard, and supported in their pursuit of mental and emotional health.
Outside of her professional work, Dr. Nakoski enjoys spending time outdoors, walking her dog, hiking, and cherishing moments with her grandchildren. These personal pursuits reflect her commitment to balance and self-care, values she encourages her clients to embrace.
