My primary goal in therapy is to create a safe space for clients to understand themselves better and to feel understood and accepted by the important people in their lives. It is amazing what positive changes people can make when they feel safe and comfortable enough to explore themselves and their problems with another person. Please email me to find out how I can help you tackle your specific concerns and start feeling better.

I believe there is no problem too big to be overcome! I work with a wide variety of diagnoses and specialize in Anxiety and Thinking Disorders. Other concentrations include depression, unresolved emotional issues, behavioral issues, low self-esteem, the LGBTQ population, and finding meaning/purpose in life. I use an individualized approach with each client, ensuring that each person's unique concerns, perspectives, and goals are met with warmth, respect, and acceptance.

Are you looking for an experience in exploring emotional and psychological insight, change, and healing through depth psychotherapy? My current location at The Catalyst Collective offers clients a centrally located, warm, and welcoming environment where coaching and group experiences are also offered. I have 20 years in psychotherapy practice addressing issues of trauma, mental health, gender and sexual orientation issues, and couples' relationship issues. I welcome work with individuals, couples and families. My post graduate training includes EMDR, Feminist Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (with Women's Therapy and Learning Center), Trauma Recovery, Gender and Orientation Issues, Jungian Psychotherapy, and Addictions.

I enjoy working with a variety of populations, including LGBTQ + clients and couples who wish to strengthen their relationships. I also specialize in domestic violence and sexual trauma. In addition, I love to help my clients find their own spiritual path and life purpose, regardless of their religious affiliation. I offer clients a variety of skills with the hope of increasing their sense of self-worth, self-acceptance and deep peace.

I offer an open and nonjudgmental space for clients to discuss their challenges for the purpose of resolution. I have spent the last 12 years working in the child welfare system resulting in extensive experience working with children, families and the juvenile justice system. I am also experienced in working with various populations, including interracial families, those who identify as LGBTQ +/SOGIE, and multicultural families.

My therapeutic lens is rooted in the tenants of social work and social justice. As a clinician I meet clients where they are and recognize that no person functions outside of their environment. So as we delve into issues of mental health symptoms, we will also be investigating how society at large plays a role in our health. I lean heavily on psychodynamic processing and a focused mindfulness practice called Brainspotting. I also engage clients through CBT, DBT, and narrative therapy. I am LGBTQIA + friendly and am continually in the process of being anti-racist.

As a psychotherapist, I can assist you in unlocking your innate potential. In our busy lives we tend to lose perspective and neglect caring for the body, mind and inner self. In psychotherapy, you are assessed in a holistic manner using a biopsychosocial approach and together we work on areas of your life that are in need of examination and healing. You will feel safe and supported on your journey and will never be judged for being who you are. I enjoy working with clients from a diverse background and embrace diversity in my practice. I'm open-minded, compassionate, experienced (but not stuffy), and have a sense of humor.

Experiences with the coronavirus, relationships, or your past don't have to leave you anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed. Process both your past and the present in healthy ways. Stresses from today can trigger past experiences and negative negative habits. I will help you get through today and give you hope for tomorrow. It makes no difference if you are gay or straight, faith or no faith, black, brown or white. Your concerns can be safely explored and your beliefs respected. Make this year a turning point to a better life.

My ideal client is someone who has a desire to work through things and is open to hearing other points of view. Someone who will challenge themselves and create opportunities for discussion. My ideal client would be someone who has a belief system, whatever that is, and can grow from that. I feel as though a client that would work best with me would have an open mind, understanding that I am there for them, and know that I truly want the best and ideal outcome for them.

One of the most important issues in a marriage is sexuality. Some people feel their sexual relationship could be better, others think if they didn't have to have sex again in their lifetime that would be fine with them. If you are dealing with some of these issues, I can help. I specialize in working with individuals and couples with lack of sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, female orgasmic disorder, premature ejaculation, and sexual addiction issues. Today is the day to begin taking steps toward a satisfying and fulfilling sex life.

I have worked in the Omaha and surrounding communities for over 30 years in community service agency and private practice . I am licensed for both mental health and alcohol/drug counseling.

I value and practice gender-affirming care and use a variety of evidence-based approaches- with a focus in strength-based and wellness techniques.

The work that goes into having a healthy relationship with your mental health often takes a back seat to much of life’s other stressors. The reality is our mental health and the relationship that we maintain with ourselves is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. Therapy can provide a platform to explore what is and is not working in your life and provide a powerful opportunity to enhance your life, relationships, and well being. I look forward to helping you discover your personal strengths and taking control of your life with a direct approach and a touch of humor.

I've worked extensively with trauma survivors to help them find healing from their past, and to begin creating a life worth living for themselves in the present.

Accepting new clients currently. Whatever roadblocks you face, we will develop concrete solutions through an individualized approach. What you are going through needs to be validated and heard. I focus on working with severe mental illness and supporting my LGBT + clients. I also believe men's issues are neglected and therefore increasingly important in a society that disourages men from expressing emotion.

In private practice, I enjoy seeing women, men, & young adults for individual or couples therapy. I have training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, feminist therapy, and Gottman Couple’s Therapy Level 2. I am comfortable treating people struggling with a variety of issues, including: depression; anxiety; trauma; grief; adjusting to life stages; gay & lesbian issues; and communication issues. I have been a psychotherapist since 1996. My first masters degree is in speech/language pathology & have been an SLP for 35 years, working in the public schools for 13 years.

I believe I am ideally suited to provide therapeutic knowledge related to social/emotional issues, teen issues, parent-child relationships, attachment issues, anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA + affirming care, personality disorders, and more.

**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.

Hey, I'm Evelynn! I enjoy working with a variety of issues, but I'm especially passionate about working with gender expansive clients! I'm a transgender woman, and my experiences absolutely inform how I approach working with my clients. I will provide space to explore which aspects of expression, pronouns, sexuality, and other elements you want to incorporate into your gender. There are no wrong answers, but we'll work together to find one you are comfortable with! I also have found neurodiversity (Autism Spectrum & ADHD) and eating disorders as additional specialties through working with the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
