Therapists in Lincoln, NE

As a Licenced Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska, I work with adults in order to help them focus on their strengths and become more successful at their jobs, school, relationships, and at home. My specialties include working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I also work with clients dealing with college transitions, developmental disabilities, gender identity, grief, men's issues, and relationships.

As the founder of Mind Matters Mental Health & Wellness, I am dedicated to providing excellent mental health guidance. People choose to seek guidance through counseling for a variety of reasons, and thankfully, asking for professional support has become a normal part of our society. While specializing in a variety of mental health matters, I practice on the premise that mental health and physical health go hand-in-hand. My goal is to help you find empowerment within yourself to grow or heal and to provide expertise in the topics you wish to address. It is my honor to help you do the work to become the best version of yourself!

I am a Provisional Licensed Mental Health Practitioner and a Provisional Licensed Master Social Work. I believe that healing is a collaborative endeavor that requires honest caring without judgment, and I cooperatively assist my clients in clarifying their goals for treatment. Through my work, I am committed to helping children, adolescents, adults and families overcome trauma, anger, depression, anxiety, addictions to alcohol and drugs, and other stresses that affect all of us at some time in our lives. I strive to maintain a consistent lens of social justice and empowerment in my practice.

Does the relationship that used to bring you so much joy now feel isolating, confusing, and frustrating?  Have you been so defined by the opinions of others that you've forgotten who you are and what you want from life? Are anxiety and panic almost always running your life, and you can't remember the last time you felt grounded and at peace? Know it doesn't have to be this way. At Sikhona Holistic Therapy + Wellness, I use evidence-based treatment, compassion, humor, and no-nonsense guidance to help you infuse joy, freedom, and peace into your life.

When you've got that stuck feeling, when you're not sure how to make a change, when you need support - these are times I can help. I work from an interactive and empowering approach in therapy where we establish goals and work for change that matches your needs, your life, and your context. I can help uncover your natural resiliency and take steps towards a more fulfilling life. Many clients say they are surprised when they are able to break old patterns. Therapy should not be mysterious, nor does it need to last a long time. Click on my site for more info.

Our children and families can be healthy and healing. I work with birth parents, adoptive parents, and foster parents to help their children and teens have the best life possible. I have a heart for foster and adoptive children and teens. I particularly enjoy identity development, and launching into adulthood.

I am currently offering both in office and Telehealth services to ensure continuity of care during the COVID19 pandemic. Telehealth sessions will be real time interactive sessions through Zoom which a secure, HIPAA compliant platform. I have morning and evening appointment availability, and I am able to deliver the same services in office or via Telehealth. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we navigate through these changes and challenges. I look forward to helping you navigate your healing journey.

I understand that life presents many challenges. My goal is for my clients to develop peace with themselves, calmness, tranquility, confidence, and strength. I believe if you want to help others heal, love them unconditional.

Relationships are vital to becoming a whole person, including your relationship with yourself. But quality relationships don't happen by accident. Real love is built the old fashioned way - through hard work. Whether you're struggling with how you view and treat yourself or struggling with others, therapy is a wise investment and can help you learn to manage the very best of who you are. This involves developing a skill set that will enable you to learn how powerful you really are in forming lasting connections with others and take an honest look at the barriers to those connections.
