Christian Counseling Therapists in Omaha, NE

Hi! The fact that you are on this website, seeking assistance in this particular season of your life, is courageous! Keep going! I'd would consider it a privilege to be the one that provides a place where you can discuss your situation and thoughts without judgement as well as provide a solid framework for the best pathway forward for you.

Hello! I am so glad you reached out and are taking this brave step. I love working with people of all ages... Young children age 2 and older, elementary age kiddos, teenagers, and adults. I work well in the areas of trauma, attachment, foster care and adoption, behaviors, ADHD, depression, anxiety, bi-polar and many other areas of mental health. I feel everyone at one time or another would benefit from having their own counselor.

Our behaviors are a direct result of the thoughts we have about our feelings. When we don't understand those feelings, our behaviors might not make sense to us. 17 years of working with adolescents in an educational setting gives me a unique perspective when it comes to therapy. I love working with families and adults alike to help them feel better about themselves and create lasting connections. Connection and relationships are what make humans unique and beautiful. Struggles with relationships are often an indication of struggles within oneself. Counseling is an opportunity to work on oneself, heal, so thriving is possible.

My name is Linda Degner and I have lived in several different places across the US finally landing in Nebraska in 2014. I believe that inviting a therapist into your life takes courage and I take that honor very seriously. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization), PCIT (Parent Child Interaction Therapy), Theraplay, and TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy). I have significant experience working with victims of sexual abuse, physical abuse and neglect, children in foster care, couples, and Christian Counseling .

My name is Marie Gotthardt and I support each of my clients to work toward finding hope, healing, growth, and in building healthy relationships. I work with children, adolescents, and adults with a range of challenges, such as anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I have training in TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I have experience working with victims of sexual abuse, physical abuse, and neglect, child and adolescent counseling, couples counseling, and Christian counseling .

I want to create a safe and supportive atmosphere where people can discuss their lives freely without fear of judgement. While the specific goals of therapy are always decided by the client, my overarching goals with each person is that they will come to understand their worth as an individual, and will find freedom to fully engage with life. I believe in not only addressing issues that hold people back, but also in exploring their unique strengths and interests.

Many of us, from time to time, need help navigating life's incredible challenges. Fear, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and many other obstacles can keep individuals tied to old thinking patterns and cycles with ineffective coping strategies. As a Christian, I believe God made us with a need for good relationships with Him, with our family, with others, and with ourselves. My approach to therapy is based on a collaborative therapeutic relationship designed to help people identify goals and overcome challenges at their own pace.

Want to feel less stressed and worried? To live in confidence, not anxiety and 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 beginning

I offer both in-person and Telehealth sessions and am accepting new clients. Are you having trouble moving forward in your life? Have you had losses that you are having difficulty healing from? I have experience working with trauma, betrayal, posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, fears, substance dependence, codependency, grief and loss. Let me help you work through your concerns in a safe, confidential, and compassionate setting. In-office appointments and Telehealth (online) therapy appointments available for Nebraska residents.

Going to a counselor can be pretty frightening; my goal is to make it as comfortable as possible. I believe that we all need help at times to work through difficult issues in our lives. I count it a privilege to help clients with the stresses of life. Beginning therapy can be a big step toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the best life possible-no matter what challenges you may be facing. Through therapy, you can change self-destructive behaviors and habits, resolve painful feelings, improve your relationships, and more.

I truly enjoy working with people who are looking to excel in life, who are struggling to manage their emotions healthily, trauma survivors, teenagers (13+), pastors, marriages, and anybody looking for a safe place to work through life. I tend to have a direct and caring approach to counseling, and I mainly want to explore and find truth with my clients. I find that I work best with people who are willing to be a partner in the therapeutic process and can handle some bluntness about what is going on in their life.

Your story matters. Your pain and suffering are not in vain but contribute to a beautiful tapestry that is the chronicle of your life. A wise and skillful journey-mate can help you to walk successfully through challenging seasons of your life. Whether coping with a difficult transition, relational challenges, or pandemic/hurricane stress, I honor your striving and your courage and aim to equip you with the tools, skills, and support you need to thrive. Stress, anxiety, and depression may have hindered your past, but they do not have to define your future.

It's a beautiful day, can you enjoy it? I bet you are seeking a therapist because there is something getting in the way of completely enjoying this thing called life. I know it is a little intimidating to reach out for someone to talk with, but you have taken the first step and I am ready to talk when you are.

Welcome to my page! So happy to see you are here. I enjoy assisting individuals who have life struggles with mental health and addiction. I have had over 40 years of experience working in this setting. I am looking forward to guiding you and watching you grow into the person you have always wanted to be.

Owning your story can be difficult when life feels outside of your control. Life can feel like a long journey each one of us are traveling, and sometimes we need a journey mate to walk with us during a difficult portion of the road. For a short stretch of your journey, we will walk together to help process, problem solve, and make a plan to deal with the difficult, confusing, and the overwhelming parts of your story.

It is important to have a warm, safe place to discuss personal issues; a place where you can let your guard down and be accepted. Regardless of your stage of life, or the situation, your pain is real and can impact your life in many different ways. When faced with difficulties in your personal or work relationships, struggles with parenting, or any life transition, I believe that healthy and positive growth can result from a compassionate therapeutic relationship.

Unfortunately, I do not have any evening (after 3 pm) or weekend availability at this time. I strive to help individuals, couples and families work through a variety of issues and facilitate the change they desire. I provide a safe and comfortable environment to explore current and past issues that are creating problems for you, while fostering personal insight and change. I have significant experience working with adolescents and adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, grief & loss, life-transitions; families experiencing blended family issues or parent/child conflict.

Hello! My name is Brenda Jewell and I am originally from South Texas but have made Nebraska my home for the past 18 years. I am bilingual in Spanish. I have experience in working with families that have endured a trauma through sexual abuse, physical and domestic abuse, neglect as well as families that are involved in foster care. Working with children and their families has been my calling for many years and my hope is to continue to be an advocate for families in this community

Feeling stuck, at a crossroad? Sometimes you're not even sure what is wrong but you just feel off. Everyone experiences difficulty in their life. Even the strongest of us can feel lost, unsure, ambivalent or unhappy at times. You don't have to be on life's journey alone. As a counselor I can help you understand and manage whatever life throws at you, and how to do it successfully. I utilize the art and science of counseling to create a safe and accepting environment in developing a trusting partnership with you to help you in your journey.
