Clinical Supervision

Some of the contracts held by At The Roots LLC require clinical supervision of our non-clinical support workers (mentors and peer support specialists). We contract with Nikki Deziel, LPC of Expansive Energy Counseling, LLC to provide these services to our staff. If you are looking for individual psychotherapy or to add a contracted clinical supervisor to your organization, we highly recommend visiting her website to learn more.

MEET OUR CLINICAL SUPERVISOR:

Nikki Deziel, LPC - Clinical Supervisor (She/Her/Hers)

Special Interests: Supervision, Trauma, Mental Health, Self-Compassion, Self-Trust, Energetic Awareness

Nikki grew up in Oregon, WI and developed a role early on as an emotional caretaker. She attended UW-Eau Claire and majored in Psychology and then headed to Florida for the sun and to start her master’s program. She eventually transferred to UW-Stout to complete her degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2008. She has been practicing since and spent some time practicing in Minnesota. She has moved to Eau Claire 3 times and recognizes a strong pull to this community. 

Nikki identifies deeply with the value of offering a compassionate space where others can feel safe to truly explore their own inner dialogue and desires. Witnessing others externalize and own their experience is an incredible honor. She feels born for this work along with finding any opportunity to be in the presence of animals. She identifies strongly with being a Cancer sign, and is also frequently seeking her own growth, self-knowing and expansive life.

She is a survivor of domestic abuse and her own years with mental health challenges. She lost her brother to substance abuse in 2011, which ultimately led to her sense of connection to energy and building a deeper knowing for herself.  She is a mom of a daughter, 3 cats, currently 7 fish and lives with her husband, who is almost used to her strong need for emotional discussions and ongoing self-reflection. 

Through her years in the mental health field, Nikki has both experienced and witnessed burn out, otherwise known as chronic nervous system activation. This has ignited a further importance for Nikki with her own mental health boundaries, as well as wanting to normalize and promote discussion about our own needs, values and options within this mental health work. 

Nikki is excited to work with the cool humans at At The Roots and offer a compassionate and curious space that promotes awareness, reflection, creativity, self-trust, reduces burn out, and supports the amazing work Peer Specialists and Rehabilitation Workers do.
