Emotionally Focused Therapists in Omaha, NE
Therapy in my office is a place where you can feel free to express emotions and process unresolved traumas, with someone to work alongside you and collaborate on goals. I believe in gently challenging negative thought patterns and resolving where that thought was created. Your session is centered on your goals, and we work through relieving shame, and embracing positive and realistic growth. The analogy I like best: my office is the space where you dump your puzzle pieces, and we take our time to figure out which pieces fit together.

Do you ever feel like breaking down? Do you ever feel out of place? Like somehow you just don’t belong, and no one understands you? Thanks for the great intro pop punk band Simple Plan. But seriously, have you ever felt any of these things? I know I have. It is hard to have all these sucky feelings and have no one to turn to for support. Unfortunately, many people out there will say “Depressed? Isn’t that just a fancy word for feeling bummed out?”, which I am sure makes you want to scream. That is where I come in!
-Only accepting clients ages 19 and up-

My name is Amanda Tessmer, a licensed mental health practitioner. I have always felt a strong desire to work with individuals and families to navigate challenges they may face.
