Attachment-based Therapists in Omaha, NE

**Not accepting new patients at this time** As an integrative mental health therapist, I am committed to helping my patients achieve wellness in mind, body, and spirit. In my practice at Omaha Integrative Care, I collaborate with multiple specialties and providers to treat the whole self. I work with individuals, couples, and families as they navigate life — overcoming difficulties, repairing relationship wounds, and building deeper, stronger, and more meaningful connections with each other. I am trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Attachment-Based Family Therapy, and Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

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.

I am passionate about working with individuals, couples, and families. I understand that therapy is hard work, I desire to walk alongside my clients as they embark on their unique journey toward healing. I believe that all of my clients have the power to enact change in their lives and seek to encourage and challenge them as they move towards their goals. I strive to provide my clients with empathy and compassion and to create an environment where they feel safe to process their emotions and experiences. I am a firm believer in the power of hope, grace, and humor.

"How did my family get to this point?!" If you're asking yourself this question, 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.

If you are going through a difficult life transition, struggling in relationships, feeling emotionally overwhelmed then you're in the right place. Admitting you need assistance is difficult, but is the first step to bettering your future. Therapy is investing in yourself and/or your family! It is my priority to gain a true understanding of each client's goals and difficulties as this will assist in growth and healing. I enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults. I strive to provide my clients with truth and hope. "The only way out is through." -Dr. Hildegard Messenbaugh,MD

Are you feeling stuck or confused? Do you find yourself going over certain events or conversations from the past? Are you losing sleep or struggling to focus? Do you feel on edge or nervous a lot of the time? At some point, we all experience difficulties and unpleasant feelings and emotions in life. You can learn to navigate these with highly effective tools that work. Learn how to cope with family changes, life transitions, loss, school and work stressors and help develop meaningful relationships through exploring relationship patterns.

I have more than 25 years of experience working with and advocating for children and families impacted by abuse and neglect, grief and loss, divorce, attachment difficulties, foster care and adoption, problematic sexual behaviors, sexual abuse, domestic violence and trauma. Children and caregivers express their reactions in a variety of ways. Their reactions may be expressed through their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical symptoms. I am focused on utilizing effective treatment practices to provide healing and hope to children and families impacted by a variety of mental health needs and challenges.

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.

Whether you are returning to therapy or have never been before, taking that first step can be scary, yet life-changing. We all struggle with times in our lives that challenge or overwhelm us. If you're ready to make changes in your life or want to try to figure out why you're feeling stuck, sad or anxious, let me help. I take pride in helping my clients overcome challenges and achieve happiness in a supportive, non-judgmental, and compassionate setting.

I have a passion for building relationships with people and walking with them through the trials of life. I believe that every person has a desire to flourish, but there are often barriers that prevent us from living the life for which we yearn. My hope is to help individuals identify those barriers and walk with them to overcome them. My specific areas of interest are anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. I look forward to learning about your experiences and journeying with you toward healing!

At Deanna Sindt Counseling, my goal is to empower you to improve your well-being and happiness. We will work together to set and accomplish your goals, so that you can start living a life you enjoy!

(At this time I am not accepting new clients).This life is not always easy, or joyful, or what we expect for ourselves and our children. Just because that is true at one time doesn’t mean that things will never be easy, joyful or what we expect. Sometimes we need someone to be our witness to the life we live and serve as a reminder that there is hope. I am here to be that witness for you or your child. I have worked with adults, and children and their caregivers for over 15 years in the human services field. Whether one is struggling with past trauma, attachment, anxiety and stress, or the challenges of childhood I am here for you.

I have a strong belief that everyone has the capacity to improve their lives and reach their goals. Sometimes, there are just some things that get in the way of doing that. Whether it’s trauma, depression, anxiety, or other issues getting in the way of living the life you want, I’m here to help you through it. I offer a safe place for you explore what is keeping you stuck and find a way to work through it.

Want to feel less stressed and worried? To let go of your anxiety, fear or self doubt? We can help. You don't have to feel edgy or burned out. Your life can be what you hope for, not worry over. Making mistakes, having things go wrong, and needing to heal is part of life and being human. So is forgiving ourselves and others and trying again. You can always change direction. Take a new path to what you want, knowing that the person you are is always OK, you have a right to what you think and how you feel. The past doesn't have to doom the present. We can't change what's happened. But we can start where we are and make a new beginnin

It's time to take control. Are you looking to help bring control to various areas of your life that currently feel overwhelming? It is my priority to work collaboratively with my clients to empower them to take control and bring quality back to their lives. I believe that the therapeutic relationship plays an extremely important role in what you get out of therapy, as well as having a safe and non-judgmental space in order to begin making life altering changes.

*NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS* 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 safe space within the counseling relationship to explore the circumstances that prompt us to reach out for help. It is my joy to help individuals tell their story, develop tools to use in coping with wounds and difficulties, learn self-accountability and gain momentum in pursuing strong mental/emotional health, and build toward the quality of life they desire.

Are you a experiencing emotional difficulties during pregnancy or after the birth of your child? Is your child experiencing issues with impulsivity, acting out in defiance, or struggling in school? Has your teenager become withdrawn, moody, depressed or are they experiencing anxiety in the social environment? Are you struggling with your own emotions, feeling stressed, depressed or anxious? Have you had a traumatic experience that has turned your life upside down? Do you feel isolated, lonely or overwhelmed? I can help. Goals for therapy always start with your needs and concerns, first and foremost. There is always hope!

Are you struggling to gain mental clarity and find peace during these challenging times? I can assure you; you are not alone, and I would be honored and humbled to help you overcome your hurdles and achieve positive outcomes. I am a client-centered, strengths-based clinician with over ten years of experience working with individuals and families. I am focused on helping adults and adolescents who are working through personal challenges and who are faced with internal conflicts of anxiety, depression, insomnia, and ADHD as well as those who are affected by childhood and recent and/or recurring traumas and adjustment disorders.

Mental health is a part of life that we have a tendency to overlook, and it takes strength and courage to do what you need to feel peace inside. When this happens we may notice an accumulation of emotional pain that can be difficult to cope with. Our work together will involve addressing the areas in your life that you wish to improve so you can live the life as you see it.

Does it seem like your child or teen is speaking a different language at times? As parents, it can be difficult understanding his or her behavior and/or angst. Children from infancy through adolescence can seem unmanageable at times causing parents to feel overwhelmed and powerless. Why continue struggling? If your child is having a difficult time at home, in school, or with friends, I can empathetically provide kids with an engaging, effective way to process feelings, learn new skills, and improve behaviors through utilization of a wrap-a-round approach.
