Meet Nichole
My name is Nichole Warner and I am proud to be the first School-Based Therapist at East Valley Middle School. EVMS has partnered with Terry Reilly Health Services to provide mental health counseling to students and their families here on campus. I am passionate about increasing awareness about mental health. Mental health IS health! Students and their families will find a safe space where they can explore issues most important to them in a caring, welcoming environment.
I graduated from Northwest Nazarene University with a Master’s in Clinical Counseling with an emphasis in Trauma, Grief, and Crisis. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and am a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy singing, playing piano, visiting the ocean any chance I get, and cuddling with my fur babies.
If you have questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please contact me at 208-468-4760, ext. 4631 or nwarner@trhs.org.
