Therapists in Omaha, NE

Finding a therapist that is right for you amongst the sea of biographies can be daunting and finally getting in and seeing if it’s a good fit can be even more frustrating. My style is relational, straightforward, and personalized to each client’s needs. I want you to feel comfortable advocating for yourself and for the direction of your treatment. My belief is that you are the expert on yourself and I am privileged to be a part of the process. While I wish that I could promise a “Goodwill Hunting” moment every session, I CAN promise that I will work alongside you as your ally every step of the way.

I am passionate about working with individuals, couples, and families. I understand that therapy is hard work, I desire to walk alongside my clients as they embark on their unique journey toward healing. I believe that all of my clients have the power to enact change in their lives and seek to encourage and challenge them as they move towards their goals. I strive to provide my clients with empathy and compassion and to create an environment where they feel safe to process their emotions and experiences. I am a firm believer in the power of hope, grace, and humor.

You might be going through a challenging life transition, crippled by worry or a traumatic experience; you have decided it's time for a change and therapy is a great tool to get you there. We can work on finding your inner strengths and ultimately achieve your goals to improve your quality of life. We'll work together to enhance your (or your teen's) strengths to help you overcome the challenges you are currently experiencing as well as helping you develop tools for your future. I believe therapy is a collaborative process and will be dedicated in walking through your journey with you.

Accepting New Clients Now...........Everyone experiences grief and loss, anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. Sometimes we feel as though these experiences are ours alone. I am here to remind you that these universal experiences can be as natural and welcomed as taking a deep breath. When you start therapy, we will open the chapters of your life that are hard to talk about. Through the use of art therapy, we can create meaning in your mental health needs, and find a way to deal with them realistically and gracefully. If this message resonates with you, give me call and we will begin your journey of healing together.

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.

That's it! You've had enough!! Life has dealt you something unlivable and you need help. You can't imagine it being easier, different. For a second, try and imagine someone offering support, guidance, and validation to help you process and overcome those difficult moments. Together we can help ease the tension, reduce the stress, change the helplessness, and move toward a more livable existence. With specialty training I help clients achieve this through various therapy tools, like EMDR, talk therapy, music, Play Therapy and expressive art therapy.

Finding the right therapist is perhaps the most important part of the therapy process. You want someone you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings without judgment. You want to know that your therapist has your best interests in mind always, and sees things objectively. You want someone who has advanced training, experience, skill and offers sound encouragement. You want someone who would practice what is recommended and feels called to walk along side you during some of life's most difficult moments. If this is where you are beginning, consider starting here.

It's not always easy to reach out when we need help. Counseling can be an intimidating process and overwhelming as we move through the trenches to make steps forward in our lives. By seeking to do the work, you are showing your tenacity and commitment to yourself to create the life you want. I am here to help you reach your highest potential and reach the happiness you are yearning for.

If you need someone safe and competent to help you process your current struggles and heal from your past wounds, I will strive to earn your trust through our professional counseling relationship and will provide you with tools and skills to empower you for a better future.

Congratulations-you're off to a great start if you're already reading this! Are you ready to kick it up a notch and get busy doing some mental and emotional work toward healing? Let's get busy! My passion and expertise is working with persons identifying in some way as queer with the majority of my clients identifying as gender diverse. I welcome all persons identifying as part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. I provide gender-affirming mental health services in accordance to the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of Care. Simply put, I treat my clients the way they want to be treated.

Welcome! It’s admirable that you have taken the first step down the path of continued healing and growth.

I believe implementing a strength-based, client-centered approach allows me to provide individualized care, while supporting personal growth and change.

Going to a counselor can be pretty frightening; my goal is to make it as comfortable as possible. I believe that we all need help at times to work through difficult issues in our lives. I count it a privilege to help clients with the stresses of life. Beginning therapy can be a big step toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the best life possible-no matter what challenges you may be facing. Through therapy, you can change self-destructive behaviors and habits, resolve painful feelings, improve your relationships, and more.

Dr. Brown is a Licensed Psychologist in Omaha, Nebraska, focusing on couples/individual counseling and Military/Veteran/first responder therapy. He specializes in relationship issues (new, strained, separation, divorce, parenting), depression and anxiety-related concerns, adjustment disorders and life transitions, memory and aging, grief, loss, and bereavement, communication related concerns and anxieties, trauma/PTSD (military and non military), sexual traumas, personality disorders, including borderline, antisocial, OCPD, and addictions.

I firmly believe my role as a counselor is to listen to, support, and empower individuals. We live in a world that likes to generalize and place us into categories without taking our individual stories into consideration. Having worked in the child welfare system for almost a decade, I saw how the lack of meeting individual needs can negatively impact a person. I believe if counselor and client work together, we can make sense of your individual story and embark on a path towards wholeness. The hardest work is done by the client and I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist with interests in childhood trauma and its adult manifestations, identity, anxiety and depressive disorders, grief, and aging. Additionally, I am committed to the role of psychology in helping people manage chronic illnesses, including cancer. I have worked with a variety of individuals experiencing a range of presenting issues including psychological ramifications of medical illnesses, adjustment, mood, psychotic, and substance abuse disorders, and chronic and persistent major mental illness.

I understand the anxiety and stresses that life can bring, especially negativing adjustments and change. Through support, there can be profound healing & growth. Navigating childhood, parenting, or the postpartum journey with support can make the greatest impact, knowing you are not alone. I believe individuals need to feel heard, understood, and supported to find healing. I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, and adults find their voice through play and believe change can happen when we feel heard, cared for, and understood.

Does it seem like your child or teen is speaking a different language at times? As parents, it can be difficult understanding his or her behavior and/or angst. Children from infancy through adolescence can seem unmanageable at times causing parents to feel overwhelmed and powerless. Why continue struggling? If your child is having a difficult time at home, in school, or with friends, I can empathetically provide kids with an engaging, effective way to process feelings, learn new skills, and improve behaviors through utilization of a wrap-a-round approach.
