Nolan Chojnacki
My name is Nolan Chojnacki and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma and I have been working in community mental health for 9 years. My initial experiences have been with working with couples and young adults from 18-25. The past few years I have expanded my experience to adults from 25-35, which is my current primary client demographic as well as clients aged 45-55. The areas of expertise I have addressed in therapy range from depression, anxiety, relationship issues, addiction problems, career challenges, and general stress. My counseling style has been described as warm and empathetic and I've worked to build on those strengths over the years as working as a therapist. I strongly believe in letting my clients know that they will be listened to and not judged when working with me. I want my clients to feel comfortable and understood, because I believe that is when you are able to fully see what changes and differences you are capable of making to improve your life now and beyond our counseling sessions. My theoretical approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, client-focused, and solution-focused models. I always tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes strength to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and those strengths that you possess are what I plan on highlighting for you, while also assisting you in finding other talents and passions that make you feel complete and worthwhile in whatever you hope to achieve. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I really look forward to working with you!

I feel labels limit us but my treatment style can be adjusted to your individual needs. I have used Cognitive Behavioral, EMDR, DBT and even Play therapy and yes even adults can benefit from this. I attend trainings and even at my age I enjoy learning new treatment types. I have enjoyed recently learning about Mindfulness. Mindfulness is as old as the hills. This philosophy or life style has lead me to be more productive recently. I know how difficult it is to reach out for help. By reaching out you are now prepared to work on the issues which are preventing you from enjoying a more rewarding life. Sometimes you feel better just to have someone who will listen to you without judgement and offer occasional advice to help you deal with conflicts. Now you have reached out I look forward to help develop an individual treatment plan and working with you to overcome the problems that have caused you to reach out. *** Please note I do not provide Christian based therapy and I do not identify as Christian in my spiritual beliefs.
