Welcome to The Therapy Room-Mind and Wellness with me, Nikki Redecker, M.A., LPC, a therapist with an unwavering passion for helping couples, teens, emerging adults and families to regain balance and peace. I specialize in conflict, anxiety, relationship repair, and discovery. Located in O’Fallon, MO for in person and available for virtual for the state of Missouri.

I am a mother of 5 children. Yep, you read that right and I am darn proud of that. My children are elementary to college aged. I have been married for 20 years; together for 24 years to the same wonderful man. I have two wonderful pups: a Dudley lab and a new puppy who is a Bernese Mountain Dog. (go ahead, screech because you know she is cute.) My Bernese Mountain Dog is training to become my newest therapy dog. I enjoy most spending time with my family. Family is my number 1 top value! I do love woodworking, photography, DIY’ing, camping with the fam, and baking with my daughter.

COUPLES

In my practice, I focus on creating a safe place to process through life’s difficulties. I customize each individuals/ couples session to meet you where you are in the moment. Being a Trauma Informed Therapist, trained Emotionally Focused Therapist and trained Somatic Therapist, I focus couples sessions on identifying what the triggers, returning arguments, practice fair fighting (because fighting is going to happen), increase emotional intimacies and bonding, determine the cycle of conflict and what the needs are that are not being met. We will also learn about the why we show up the way we do and turn our weaknesses into strengths. Many times there is a block, where we seem to just not be able to feel the ability to open up, there is a tightness holding on to something. This is were we bring in the Somatic Therapy to break thru the block.

Often times what we need….. is space. Space to process, talk, explore, to both be wrong, to both be right, SLOW things down! Let me provide that space!

ANXIETY/DEPRESSION

In individual sessions, we focus solely on you. If you are anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed, we learn to naturally calm the nervous system. If you are experiencing lack of motivation, feelings of sadness and depressed lets explore what is going on in your environment and find our way to behavioral activation. Somatic Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy are great to help explore, feel/ stop running way from the feelings, and break the blocks. I am also trained in a Flash Technique to refile prior memories that keep making you uncomfortable. If you have big changes in your life and you feel lost, lets explore what is was like, what it is like and what it could be like. Lets make goals and make short steps to help you meet those longings. This is a relaxed setting because I want you to feel comfortable here. This is for you. Arrive in your work clothes, sweats, no one here is judging. Grab a lunch, snack, blanket, etc…Whatever makes you feel secure and lets get started.

TEENS

Specifically for the teens out there. I here you, I truly do. This time in your life can be so stinking hard! The pressures you face is some of the hardest you will face because lets be real, you do not have pure autonomy or control over your life right now. Many times you feel lost, out of control, and purely frustrated by it all. Lets work together to learn how to navigate this time in your life plus gaining tools to take with you in the future.

EMERGING ADULTS

When I say emerging adults, I mean you peeps are transitioning from adolescent into adulthood. This typically begins around 17 and keeps going into your mid twenties and sometimes beyond. Due to societies norms, you are one day a child with little worries of the future to now being told you must figure out your entire life within these years. Let me tell you when no one has sat down with you and figured out the fine details of who you are it makes it darn difficult to make a decision for later in life. Not knowing you, makes you feel lost. Lost in a world that tells you that you SHOULD already know all of this. Well I am here to tell you… its okay that you dont know but let me help you. Lets take the time to sit and figure out who you are and what you want in life well beyond a career , college, or workforce.
