Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Nebraska

Welcome, and I’m so glad you’re here! I specialize in working with women, helping support them through challenges related to anxiety, depression, maternal mental health, stress management, life transitions, and grief. My therapeutic training has centered around evidence-based treatments with cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness components, and I have received training in EMDR. I believe we all have an innate capacity for change and everyone has an inner wisdom that can become a source of healing. I am honored to support my clients in their journey to healing and wellness.

My goal is to provide counseling and guidance to individuals who are dealing with issues that affect them physically, emotionally and mentally. I look forward to helping individuals overcome their addiction issues with substance abuse and help them gain an understanding of addiction issues. I want to help individuals determine why they are experiencing their life challenges, develop goals and actions to resolve their issues.

Safety has been elusive in your life and trust is something that is a figment of the imagination. You're seeking "normal" and are not sure what "normal" actually is. Living in survival mode has become your way of life. Walking into my office or meeting via telelhealth your safety, emotional, mental, physical, is my first priority. We can't heal if we don't first feel a sense of safety. You want to be able to walk around in this world without fear, without being in fight, flight, freeze, feint, or fawn mode. You want healthy relationships and to thrive.

Modern life is stressful. We often feel like we don't have enough time, enough money, enough energy, or enough confidence in ourselves. We spend too much time feeling anxious or depleted. There is an alternative to the constant, unrelenting treadmill and chaos. There is another way of being present in your life and available to those you love. I practice Mindfulness-Based Psychology and Mindful Self-Compassion. By learning these skills, you can begin to slow down, befriend yourself, and make choices that reflect and further your values and dreams, rather than those imposed on you.

Hey, I'm Evelynn! I enjoy working with a variety of issues, but I'm especially passionate about working with gender expansive clients! I'm a transgender woman, and my experiences absolutely inform how I approach working with my clients. I will provide space to explore which aspects of expression, pronouns, sexuality, and other elements you want to incorporate into your gender. There are no wrong answers, but we'll work together to find one you are comfortable with! I also have found neurodiversity (Autism Spectrum & ADHD) and eating disorders as additional specialties through working with the LGBTQIA2S+ community.

Individuals seeking therapy typically want a safe space, warm and compassionate acceptance, as well as a therapist with the skills and experience to help them move through issues of depression, anxiety, abuse and trauma, grief and loss, personal and/or relationship issues. They are often seeking to understand themselves better, seeking positive change, growth, and new insights to move beyond their current problems.

I believe in the power of human connection to get us through life’s challenges. Reaching out for help in our most vulnerable moments can be difficult and overwhelming. Our self-talk can be so convincing that we should figure things out on our own or that our problems aren’t as bad as they could be, that we remain stuck. I will meet you where you are in your challenge, providing a safe and calming environment to explore avenues to find hope and healing. My work takes a holistic approach integrating the mind, body and spirit connection to help you create a strong foundation to meet those challenges.

Do you feel that recovery is out of reach? Do you feel hopeless about your situation? One of the toughest steps towards recovery is the very first one. I am here to help you to take that first step toward change. I believe in holistic, mental health and drug and alcohol treatment services, that will help individuals and families find healing and achieve greater health and wholeness, resulting in changed lives. I am committed to creating a safe, nurturing space for clients to explore and better understand their emotions, ways of thinking, and patterns that create difficulties in their lives.

Everyone bears beauty inside them. At times, the radiance of this beauty can feel diminished and extinguished by the pains, struggles, and worries we face. Stress, sadness, and anxiety are a few examples that can overshadow our confidence, peace, and hope. While in therapy, my goal is to foster an environment of dignity, respect, and safety, to help explore your struggles and restore the beauty within. Specializing in Internal Family Systems and Mindfulness, I will help you foster a healing relationships with yourself and others.

Therapy or Counseling is defined as "helping people live happier, healthier, and more productive lives". As a therapist I apply research-based techniques to help my clients develop more effective habits and behaviors. I approach counseling as a collaborative exercise; where we work together to resolve your goals.

Many of my clients attend therapy to work through relationship issues, academic and career concerns, depression, anxiety, struggles with identity, and life transitions. I also offer assessment services for adults (19+), specializing in ADHD evaluations and gender identity/transgender assessment services.

I create an environment that is safe, supportive, and trusting where you can talk about your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Where you can identify values and goals and practice new and different actions to realize your dreams. I use a calm present-centered focus
