Attachment-based Therapists in Omaha, NE

Hi! My name is Joana and I’m so glad to see you here. Just by being here, I already know you are a loving and concerned caregiver. Parenting can be the most fulfilling, yet challenging experience. Being a mama of 3 I know first hand how difficult it can be sometimes. I want you to know you don’t have to do it all alone, in fact, you shouldn’t! I specialize in working with children, adolescents and caregivers dealing with behavioral issues, social skills, anger, ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma and changes in the family dynamic.

The process of finding a therapist that is right for you amongst the sea of biographies can be daunting and finally getting in and seeing if it’s a good fit can be even more frustrating. I want to collaborate with you to make realistic and sustainable goals for your life. I want you to feel comfortable advocating for yourself and confident that I will also advocate for you in a variety of settings. My belief is that you are the expert on yourself and that your voice is important. I will willingly coordinate with others in your system as well. I know that one-size therapy does not fit all and every situation and its needs are unique.

If you find yourself asking, "How did my family get to this point?!" you may have found your therapist. I get it...you've read the books, googled countless therapists, trying to find anything in an effort to restore sanity and connection to your chaotic family. Whether you dread the evening battles and meltdowns, fear how closed off your teen is becoming, or you don't know how to close the distance between you and your partner, hope for a better tomorrow is a conversation away. My no-nonsense, transparent, and direct but compassionate approach to therapy is especially helpful for the hardest-to-reach teenagers.

You might be going through a challenging life transition, crippled by worry or a traumatic experience; you have decided it's time for a change and therapy is a great tool to get you there. We can work on finding your inner strengths and ultimately achieve your goals to improve your quality of life. We'll work together to enhance your (or your teen's) strengths to help you overcome the challenges you are currently experiencing as well as helping you develop tools for your future.

There are times in our lives that we can become stuck, not knowing how, where, or who to turn to. We may feel lost, alone, depressed, angry, traumatized, fragmented, hopeless, afraid - floundering & needing direction. Does this sound like your situation? I'll help you to untangle your emotional knots - so that you can rekindle your dreams toward living the life you truly deserve. I specialize in issues of empowerment with a focus on your humanity and relationships (less on diagnostic labels). Welcome!

As a Clinician and Registered Expressive Arts Therapist, I am blessed to be in a line of work which focuses on helping people feel better about themselves and their lives. I work with young people as well as adults and their families. I can address trauma, peer issues, family conflicts, behavioral problems, sexually reactive behaviors, depression, social skills and assertiveness issues. I can work with schools as needed and have experience with the court system. Treatment modalities include EMDR, CBT, TF-CBT, CPP, Circle of Security Parenting and psychotherapy. Together we will determine the best course of treatment for you.

Healing is possible. Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, overwhelming emotions, trauma, or PTSD? The effects of these conditions can impact every aspect of your life-your relationships, your health, your employment, your feelings of self-worth and your sense of safety. I will meet you where you are at on your journey of healing in a safe non-judgmental environment working collaboratively with you to tailor your therapy. It is my goal to help you take control of your life and emerge from your current situation to a place of security, growth, and change.

Most of the time we can manage the ups and downs of life without extra support. Then something shifts, and it can feel like it all collapses like a house of cards. Quickly, it can feel like you don't even recognize yourself anymore. None of the skills you were using to successfully manage your life work like they used to. You're overwhelmed and at a loss for how to get unstuck. At times even the seemingly tiniest of changes can shake us to our foundations, and leave us feeling adrift; but change is often the perfect opportunity to grow.

Hello, name is Dr. Nika George and I am a therapist with my PhD in clinical psychology. I serve adult, young adult, and older adult clients in Omaha and across the Nebraska area. I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions (divorce, moving, relationship issues, making friends, setting boundaries, assertiveness training), career stress, or postpartum mood changes. I have a specialty in treating high achieving clients who experience perfectionism, and burnout. I have a second specialty in treating people with PTSD, complex PTSD, and trauma in childhood such as emotional abuse and neglect.

My mission is to treat mental health diagnoses through personalized and compassionate counseling practices that promote growth, development and well-being to further enhance quality of life. I am qualified in assessments, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention skills for many mental health disorders including; anxiety, depression, codependency, anger management, trauma, and substance use. I incorporate several therapeutic techniques during session to provide clients with; healthy coping skills, increased positive cognitive patterns, and behavior modifications.

Change is painful but nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you don't belong. We often feel stuck in the life we have because we don't want to move through the uncomfortable first. You may have experienced personal trauma, secondary trauma, or a bad run of luck in life. Those moments don't define your life. Every situation is getting you closer to the person you are supposed to be. If you are wanting to understand and process the uncomfortable, you are in the right place. In therapy, we will work together to process the past, find balance in the present and move towards peace for the future.

My goal is to provide a kind of relationship and atmosphere for you to come to your own insights, providing tools or techniques as support along the way. I feel I can best support those coming into therapy who want to gain an understanding of themselves. My practice focuses on working with individuals, couples, and groups ages 12 and older, whether that be short-term and solution-oriented or ongoing and exploratory.

Sometimes we come to a season in which we realize that our current ways of dealing with past trauma, connecting with people, or balancing life stressors just aren't working anymore. I am passionate about creating a compassionate and safe setting where an individual, couple, or family can develop positive, effective, healthy changes, and coping skills. There is always hope and healing that can be rewritten into the path you are currently on, and you can change your destination. I have specific training in Maternal Mental Health from Postpartum Support International.

Annie has experience with diverse populations, and has supported all ages through crisis and self-harm. She has excelled in working with grief and loss, mood disorders, self-esteem, depression and anxiety. Annie is trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and utilizes Art Related Therapy, Narrative Therapy and more to best meet clients unique needs.

I believe that while many of us feel unwell, we can improve our outlook and many areas of our lives with enough support and encouragement. Trauma, stress, abuse, and pain have caused us to become overwhelmed and unable to deal with life as it comes. Utilizing a holistic wellness model, I can assist you in creating a new life, with beautiful new dreams that can finally become reality. Together, we can pinpoint the parts of life that have never seemed to go well, and create real life solutions for them by addressing and resolving the pain of loss, grief, and oppression that have hurt us over time.
