At Fireside Counseling, my goal is to empower you to live your best life. I have over 15 years of experience in counseling students, professionals, athletes, children, couples and families. My aim is to help you meet your goals in a relaxed and comfortable setting.

I have worked in the Omaha and surrounding communities for over 30 years in community service agency and private practice . I am licensed for both mental health and alcohol/drug counseling. I have had the opportunity to experience a wide variety of issues that people bring to psychotherapy as well as being mentored by leading practitioners in the area. My general area of practice involves treating adolescents and adults with concerns or questions related to depression/anxiety, substance abuse, relationship/marriage, sexual orientation/gender identity/coming out, and trauma. I work with individuals, families and couples. My office is a Safe Space for LGBTQ clients.

Congratulations on taking the first step to address your mental health concerns. I know it can be a little scary and intimidating to discuss your most personal matters with a complete stranger.

My clients tired of being misunderstood and communication going nowhere with their partner. They come to me because they know their relationship cannot go on without some changes but they don't know how to get there. They know communication is important, but it is just not working at home for some reason.

As an executive, you know life at the top can be deeply rewarding. And profoundly challenging. Business – especially at the top – is stressful. There’s never enough time. The choice seems to be 1) succeed at work or 2) succeed at home. Pick one. It feels lonely at work, but just as lonely at home. You’re distracted or even consumed with worry. Angry outbursts can happen. Loved ones may say you’re distant and not “present”. With concerns about cash flow, sales, employees, customers, competitors, the economy, partners and investors, worry is an under-statement. Sometimes, you wonder how long you can keep doing this.

You might be experiencing one of these: gnawing anxiety in your chest that just won’t leave you, dominates your thoughts, is changing how you live. Or the circling, dark thoughts of depression, where there is no pleasure in anything and everything is hopeless. Or maybe the effects of past, buried trauma have become unmanageable, and how you used to cope is not working. Or, you have lost someone you love, and life now feels unwanted and impossible. Or despite others’ complaints, you can’t conceive of going without either alcohol, drugs, porn, food, or relationships to feel normal or valuable, to get through the day with less pain

Every human being experiences difficult moments in life. Those who choose therapy are better able to navigate these times and see change they desire. I enjoy helping individuals achieve their goals. These goals include overcoming depression, anxiety, or anger; acheiving stabilizing peace to ongoing family conflict; or successfully navigating a major life transition. I've spent more than a decade helping adults, parents, teenagers, children, and families with their unique situations.

Personally & professionally, I believe: 1) Attention is our most precious resource. 2) Most of us use only a fraction of our full potential. 3) Our perceived weaknesses are closely related to our greatest strengths. 4) Through intentional daily practice, we can improve the quality of our experiences. 5) Over time we can heal from trauma, unlearn harmful habits, and create meaning from loss.

I work with individuals, couples, families, adolescents, children, and LGBTQs. I like to delve into the depression, anxiety, or whatever is troubling you to get at and transform, moving towards a productive satisfying life. I'm good at getting at the potential, power, genius, and strength which lies within, surfacing creativity, health, and well being. Usually, when one discovers their potential it is like dropping a pebble in the calm lake, rippling goodness for all around them.

Steve Brownrigg provides outpatient, substance abuse and chemical dependency counseling services to those affected by alcoholism and other addictions. I specialize in treating those clients with who are Dually-Diagnosed, with mental health disorders in addition to addiction issues. I am Certified by EMDRIA in the use of EMDR for Sexual Trauma and other Childhood issues. I also offer couples counseling and co-dependency counseling for significant others. Often, spouses or significant others begin counseling in advance of the alcoholic/addict to work on their own issues and to learn how to effectively deal with their loved one.

I enjoy walking alongside my clients and helping them wrestle with life's struggles. Each of my clients is a sacred individual, fully deserving honor and respect. I offer an engaging and compassionate approach to counseling that respects the individual and their choices while patiently exploring every area of their life.

We all want to be validated as a human in this unpredictable world of unfulfilled expectations. I provide that confidential, non-judgemental safe place for you to heal past wounds and/or clarify and accomplish goals. I will help you do this at your pace and on your unique path.

I work with Men and Women when Anger, Fear or Depression is the only feeling they seem to recognize. It's my aim to help people who know all about Conflict, but too little about Conflict Resolution. I provide Relationship and Individual Coaching for teenagers as they navigate through the complex feelings of being pulled between family, friends and themselves. I work with adolescents and adults struggling against ADHD and for those whose ADHD and ADD has blossomed into Anxiety, OCD, Depression of Addictions. Together, I work with Couples, Families and Teenagers helping them with the Relationships and Communication Process.

I definitely understand that reaching out for therapy can cause anxious uncertainty and emotional discomfort. If this is the case, I'm SO GLAD you are making this courageous decision. Regarding my personality and therapeutic style, you will notice this immediately: I am warm, genuine, personable, light-hearted, and easy to connect with. You will also notice I am passionate about understanding your unique life story, including the personal struggles for which you are seeking professional care. I desire to relate to you as an equal, whole person rather than someone who "has all the answers." In sessions with me, you will know I care.

If you are feeling stressed, depressed, anxious, frustrated, trapped, or like your life is out of control, help is on the way. I am here to tell you that you don't have to go through the rest of your life feeling this way. If you are willing to show up and work hard in therapy, you will be amazed how much better you will feel, and how quickly. After our first scheduled therapy appointment, you will know exactly what the problem is, why it's happening and some idea of what the treatment process will look like.

Whether you realize it or not, just by being here and considering a therapist you have already begun a journey of change. Whether you have a specific life goal or hurdle you are working on or if you are struggling with things like depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, addiction, relationship issues, or career-related struggles, my first goal is to provide you a safe, non-judgmental place to be listened to and understood.

My aim is to follow you into whatever calls for your attention, develop an authentic relationship and safe space to explore it, and use and provide tools and techniques as necessary. My work is informed by contemporary / relational psychodynamic theory, emotion-focused therapy (EFT), somatic therapy, parts work, and Buddhist psychology. I work with individuals, couples, and groups ages 12 and older, whether it be short-term and solution-oriented or long-term and exploratory.

During my studies, I have focused on the interactions between thinking, emotions, behaviors, and belief systems. I have learned that many factors, such as genetics and how and where someone grows up, deeply affect how we think and feel about the world when we're navigating the complexities of becoming and being an adult. The holistic and sometimes eclectic approaches I have learned are helpful for personal growth or when we have thoughts, actions, and feelings that we wish that we did not have or are just confusing to us.

It is difficult, if not impossible to go through life and not experience some type of painful life experience. Whether we have had painful experiences since childhood or a single episode, the long-lasting effects, if gone untreated, can be detrimental. These unresolved painful experiences effect our lives in so many ways that it can start to influence our thinking, decisions, and overall way of living. It becomes difficult to have healthy relationships, hold jobs, and take care of ourselves. It is important to find relief and resolution from these experiences so you can start to live the life you deserve.
