Therapists in Lincoln, NE

I have a doctorate degree with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy. Practicing since 1989, my current work focuses on couples counseling, individual issues and family business/ organizational consulting. A father of six and married since 1981, I try to bring practical, real-world experience to solving the common issues many of us have through out the life-cycle.

I believe counseling can be used for many things... Addressing a crisis or trauma, identifying a goal & developing a path toward it, resolving current concerns and even sometimes helping to clarify why you feel differently than you used to. You are the expert on your life. My job is to help you fine tune that expertise and develop skills that contribute to you leading the life you want. I am not here to give you advice or tell you what to do, but rather to work with you as you address the challenges, questions or concerns you may be facing.

Do you struggle with past traumas that impact your activities of daily life? Do you have difficulty managing anxiety, depression, or stress? Are you feeling overwhelmed with work, school, or family matters? Do you just want to talk to someone whose unbiased and hasn't heard your story? There are so many great reasons to start seeing a therapist, whether it's to manage the symptoms of a diagnosis, past or current traumas, or relieve stress while improving your self-care. No matter what brings you in, we can find solutions that fit your needs and accomplish your goals as a team!

Welcome! Thank you for visiting! I provide caring Biblical Christian and secular counseling for the difficult problems of daily life. We can work together and travel down the road to recovery and true healing.

I provide assessment and treatment for children and adolescents experiencing issues including severe disruptive behavior disorders (including Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), anxiety, adjustment/coping, sleep concerns, toileting, depression, Autism/Aspergers, as well as additional concerns. I have a great deal of experience working with children and adolescents with mental health and behavioral concerns. I feel that it is important to involve all necessary individuals to improve the well-being of the children and adolescents I serve. I frequently work with the child or adolescent as well as his/her parents and family, and sometimes involve pediatricians/family doctors, and schools.

I believe that feeling comfortable and cared about are essential to your counseling experience. Positive change occurs when the client feels heard and empowered. When trust is established, clients feel safe in knowing that they can be honest. If you have lost a loved one, found yourself down in the dumps, feel anxious, or are experiencing other life challenges then it may be time to seek professional help. I offer an inviting atmosphere and a safe place in which clients can learn about themselves and develop the skills to overcome their challenges. I offer Christian counseling for those who are seeking this service.

Everyone said having a baby would be the most magical time in your life, but you're finding that juggling the demands of parenthood and partnership leave you feeling more unappreciated, unseen in your marriage, and overwhelmed than you've ever been before. Feelings of loneliness and anxiety visit more than you could have imagined, and worry sets in that maybe you'll never cut it as a mom. Know it doesn't have to be this way. You can trust your abilities as a parent, enjoy the here-and-now with your partner and your baby, and approach both the chaos and beauty of parenthood with compassion, confidence, and humor.

I am accepting new clients but have a 2-3 week waitlist. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, families & children who are impacted by a variety of conditions and who are struggling with life issues. Life balance is the goal and that is done through my work, with anxiety, depression, relationships, loss, trauma and children with behavioral disorders. Many people struggle with a variety of emotional challenges. An inability to manage emotions and behaviors effectively can negatively impact relationships. I help people identify their strengths, understand, experience and express their emotions in appropriate ways.

Today you are one step closer to a new you. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or just ready for a new direction in your life, we look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. Therapy is for people who have enough self-awareness to realize they need a helping hand, and that is something to be admired. Working with a therapist can help provide insight, support, and new strategies for all types of life challenges.

No matter your past, deep and lasting healing is possible through holistic care for the mind, body, and spirit. I focus on the whole individual, helping to turn a vicious cycle of poor physical, mental, and spiritual health into wellness and thriving. I use a customized, integrative approach to address your specific needs. I promise to walk with you during this chapter of life, empowering you to leverage your past experiences to write a beautiful and authentic next chapter. I will provide targeted customized therapy that will allow you to truly heal - and perhaps more quickly than you think possible!

What do you do when you are confused? Hurting? Angry? At these times, talking to someone with training and experience can help. I strive to provide a supportive setting where problems can be thoughtfully examined and helpful solutions found. I enjoy working with people. I enjoy working with people who are skeptical because it is so exciting to help someone find answers when there appeared to be none. We will set goals and timelines together, and I will use my training and experience to help you find the answers that work for you. Therapy can work!! If you are thinking you need to talk with someone, please give me a call.

I strive to maintain a consistent lens of social justice and empowerment in my practice.

My clinical area of interest and training is in behavioral pediatric counseling and cognitive behavioral therapy. I use my training to promote positive mental and behavioral health to children and their families. I use skills from a treatment approach called Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) to teach caregivers positive parenting and relationship-enhancing skills. PCIT teaches behavior management strategies to manage disruptive behavior, aggression, and promote adhering to instructions and family home rules.

Office Hours are Monday-Thursday 8am-4pm - - - I specialize in OCD and related disorders, to include body dysmorphia and body repetitious disorders, such as trichotillomania (hair pulling) and excoriation (skin picking). I also enjoy working with individuals experiencing anxiety and life transitions.

Take back your life. Depression, anxiety, substance abuse and other issues can take over and keep you struggling. Asking for help takes courage and counseling can help you get unstuck.

I am currently using teletherapy, video sessions remotely with clients.

I offer an existential, holistic approach to self growth and healing. I partner with clients to identifiy and correct the maladaptive coping strategies, behavior patterns and belief systems that keeps them stuck. EMDR is a theraputeutic intervention I often employ to address grief and trauma. This treatment method is effective in trauma symptom reduction, as well as the adoption of healthier belief systems, sense of self and world view. My style of therapy not only includes the focus on the behavioral, or even the physical rewiring of the brain; but also encourages finding the meaning behind the pain and embracing the spiritual self
