About Me
Nina Mekisic is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with a background in working with adults, teens, children and families with over 10 years experience in the field. Nina takes a holistic approach to therapy that takes into account the link between body, mind and environment. She works from the foundation of establishing a therapeutic relationship with you that is respectful, kind and collaborative. She combines this approach with therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindful Self-compassion, Narrative Therapy and The Gottman Method of Couple’s Therapy. Nina will work with you to set goals for therapy that align with your values and the outcomes that you are seeking. Her focus is to provide you with practical strategies and tools which fit your particular circumstances. She is inspired by witnessing how addressing current challenges within ourselves and our relationships, can lead to healing and growth beyond our experiences of adversity and trauma. Nina has completed 3 years of training in Somatic Experiencing which is a pioneering body awareness based approach to healing trauma and she is currently one of the only therapists in Adelaide qualified as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner.
