Existential Therapists in Omaha, NE

Life can be difficult and overwhelming, especially when we feel most alone. Counseling provides a collaborative space to meaningfully explore our thoughts, feelings, and experiences with another person.

Many of us encounter situations that impact our mental health and search for someone to collaborate with to improve our mental health. I offer such collaboration to help you find your own solutions and develop your own ability to make positive changes in your life. I also provide a supportive, outside perspective, and will introduce you to evidence-based practices from both Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help you become comfortable with emotions and examine automatic thoughts and core beliefs. I may also use Existential Therapy to help you find meaning and purpose and to develop value-driven goals.

I believe in supporting my clients through all of life’s real and perceived challenges. Everyone needs someone to talk to- someone to help process through emotions, thoughts, experiences and events. A life worth living looks different from one person to the next and I enjoy helping people navigate this discovery. I help clients look at where they are, where they truly desire to be, and help search their soul to determine what they are willing to do to achieve their life worth living.

I see clients for individual therapy and psychological evaluations. My approach is individualized and based on my clients' needs, personal background, and goals. My therapy approach utilizes cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, & existential modalities, adapted specifically for my clients. I also incorporate positive psychology elements by being person-centered, non-judgmental, & utilizing strengths in developing goals & a plan for treatment. My clients can expect to gain insight into the nature of their difficulties, with an individualized plan for progress and improved functioning.

Anyone experiencing stressors of everyday life, feeling like an outsider, looking for coping skills or confidence to manage self in various situations, and those who would benefit from having a safe space to communicate feelings/emotions without judgement and providing confidentiality are welcomed and would benefit from therapy.

I am currently taking new clients with a focus on recovery from spiritual abuse and trauma. Do you feel lost in the shadows of spiritual or religious trauma? Are anxiety or mood swings holding you back? Life's stressors can be overwhelming, but you don't have to walk this path alone. As an independent mental health practitioner in Nebraska, I understand the unique challenges faced by individuals navigating the complexities of faith, mental health, and life's everyday hurdles. I offer a warm, supportive space where we can explore your experiences and cultivate tools for healing and growth.

Our minds are our most powerful asset! Without our minds what are we ? But our minds may also be are biggest barrier... Are you a child, adolescent, or adult struggling with anxiety or depression ? Do you have thoughts constantly running through your mind day in and day out that you can’t seem to get a grasp of or make stop? Did you make some choices that landed you in a tough, not so desirable position with drugs, alcohol, or the legal system in general? If so, Payton is the person that can help.

I believe attention to our mental wellbeing is a crucial component of overall wellness. I focus on assisting my clients in achieving optimal health. To do this I put great value on establishing and maintaining a therapeutic relationship with my clients. I believe I owe my clients respect, empathy, honesty, and a safe place to be heard. I believe we are continuously evolving and learning more about ourselves. This ride can be challenging, and I am honored each time I am able to join someone on their journey.

Are you tired of feeling unhappy, frustrated and discouraged? Are you ready to make a change, but don't know where to begin? When life is getting the best of you, I can offer hope. I help adults establish healthy boundaries and be assertive. Imagine having the confidence and communication skills to be taken seriously and understood in your personal and professional life. Imagine feeling in control. If you are struggling with grief, stress, anxiety, relationship or career issues I will help you achieve goals that lead to empowerment, happiness and satisfaction.

Choosing a therapist is hard work, and I can imagine overwhelming. Finding a good fit, someone you can trust, is incredibly important. Therapy won't work without it. My strengths are building open, positive, and helpful relationships with my clients and being able to give and accept feedback. I am a friendly person, I like to smile, and I bring humor into session. I am passionate about what I do and I am lucky to love my job.

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.

I am flexible to accommodate most schedules. I believe everyone can benefit from therapy; at its core, therapy is about building a relationship in which we feel safe to embrace and become our authentic selves. I enjoy working with people to explore life experiences and identify past trauma that may be preventing them from living their best life. I am passionate about issues surrounding individual freedoms, specifically relating to gender/sexuality. As a queer professional, I enjoy working with clients who identify as LGBTQIA+ and/or who practice nontraditional relationships, including polyamory and kink.

I would be happy to support you and walk beside you, as you discover who the "real you" might be, and what you are wanting in life. Your story is your story- and I want to help you to own that story. To feel genuine pride in how far you have come, and continue to go. To have a feeling of hope for better days to come, strength to let go of what may no longer serve you and what has been holding you back from living the ultimate life of your wildest dreams.

You are the expert on your experience, I am here to meet you where you are at and help guide you to where you want to go.

Having practiced for a good while, my interests have been directed to working with people who struggle with ADHD and affective disorders (depressed mood and anxiety symptoms). I have also enjoyed working with couples (straight or gay). I am comfortable and appreciate the unique struggles experienced by non-binary and trans people deal with. I love doing group therapy and have thousands of hours of experience with that modality. All in all, most any one can benefit from good in-depth psychotherapy. I have been comfortable with social media and my TIK TOK channel has nearly 500k followers and 4M likes. come see me at chrinke3
