Therapists in Lincoln, NE

My name is Alyssa and I want to support survivors of trauma who are working on building their resilience in the face of life's journey. Sometimes life doesn't turn out how we planned, but I want to help you fight through whatever is holding you back. Together we can uncover the challenges you're fighting and utilize your strengths to move towards a happier, healthier you.

I believe everyone has the capacity for change. Often times we need guidance, or a gentle push, to get there. I offer a safe and welcoming environment for you to process and create realistic goals for where you are today. I believe all can benefit from therapy throughout their lives, to help support, encourage and cheer you on in your journey.

Are you feeling stuck? Maybe you’ve tried to figure things out on your own but it’s not working. We have all felt this way at some point in our lives. Sometimes it can be helpful to have a guide to help you get unstuck on your journey. I would be honored to walk alongside you in your current season.

Looking for telehealth therapy? You're in luck- I am ONLY telehealth! Looking into therapy can be scary. Talking about the thing(s) that bring you to therapy can be even scarier. It’s my goal to make therapy the tiniest amount of scary possible. The things you’ve been through, the experiences you’ve had, have brought you to where you are today. Maybe you’re not happy with where you are today- that’s ok! Maybe you don't know where, or who, you want to be- yet- and that's OK too! You're here, looking at this page right now because you want things to change and you know what? That's really fucking brave. Go you!

Welcome to my profile page! If this is your first time, welcome to therapy. It's a lot more natural than you might think, but if counseling feels difficult, you could be very close to a solution. The important thing is that you have taken the first step. I have counseled adolescents and young adults, as well as women and men of every other age. I offer everyone an opportunity to develop a therapeutic relationship based on trust and empathy, in order to discover the roots of any presenting problem. Together, we can work to ease the pressure, develop goals and take steps toward them.

Sometimes In our co-journey of life, the issues and problems we face and try to resolve can be very difficult and our usual methods of coping aren't working. Asking for help is okay. With some added insight and guidance from a counselor, you can often get back into life with additional coping skills and renewed energy. For over thirty years I have been able to help individuals, couples and families find their way through these transitions in life. I base my therapy on the belief that all people are worthy and deserving of a fulfilling life.

I work with adults, children, and families who are looking for assistance with a variety of areas such as anxiety, disruptive behavior, depression, adjustment or self-regulation issues, and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

I offer a straight forward, judgment free setting in a comfortable environment.

If you are searching for a therapist for yourself or someone else you have likely noticed some thoughts, behaviors, or troubling patterns you would like to break. You want someone who sees where you are and can help you get to where you want to be. I could be of some help. I enjoy working with individual adults and teens from all walks of life, and my approach has been described as direct, supportive, and kind.

I strive to understand people in all of their complexity. My goal in therapy is to see through a client’s lens as much as possible, and then work with them to find positive changes they can make in their lives. Drawing heavily from the evidence-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy model (ACT), I help clients to be more mindful of the interface between their internal and external experiences. When we become more aware of the patterns in our thoughts, emotions, and actions, we can be intentional about releasing what is not helpful to us.

I offer diagnostic evaluations to help people better understand themselves, inform the healthcare and services they need, and support living authentic and satisfying lives. I also enjoy working with autistic and ADHD adults who want to better understand themselves and learn neurodivergence-affirming ways to cope with life stressors.
