Therapists in Omaha, NE

Through my work with teens, young adults, and families over the years I have developed an authentic, warm, and inviting approach to therapy. I provide therapy to address a wide variety of concerns including; stage of life transition, crisis, depression, anxiety, oppositional behaviors, trauma recovery, relational interactions, family dynamics, and personal exploration. My professional journey includes specialized work in helping children and adolescents heal from trauma and manage behavioral concerns, and I have acquired years of experience working with parents and families in crisis.

Hello and Welcome. Thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Bill Hehner. I work with children, adolescents, and adults on a wide range of presenting issues, including depression, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, grief and loss, oppositional-defiant youth and parenting. My approach is eclectic and I utilize a number of methods to help an individual achieve their counseling goals. I have a deep respect for all my clients and the therapeutic relationship.

In therapy I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the patient and caretaker alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.

I have more than 30 years of professional practice helping people with all kinds of problems and issues. I enjoy knowing I can make a positive difference in a persons life. This is the reason I have dedicated my life to helping others. I've worked with people from all walks of life. If you've had therapy before and felt discouraged, I encourage you to give me a try. I have a unique personality and a way of communicating with my patients.

The continuum of life can be complex. If you can agree, then you are not alone. In this journey there are definite cork screws that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, off track, and at a loss. Change presents challenge and your interest that brings you to view this page only acknowledges that at the core - you are competent. Seeking professional guidance can help provide clarity, turning challenges into personal opportunities for growth and development, getting you back on course in leading a healthier and happier life.

Does something need to change in your life, or are you making promises that seem harder and harder to keep? Feel like a cartoon character walking around with a storm cloud following you? Perhaps something happened to you that you didn't deserve, or you experienced something painful that feels fresh? Mental Health can be a mysterious stranger who lingers in your life unexamined or unquestioned, and it can impact every aspect of self and the different contexts you exist within (work-setting, family/kids, and other significant relationships). Most importantly it can distort what you see in the mirror everyday.

I believe that everyone should be able to live their lives to the fullest. For many, there is something that gets in the way. I would like the opportunity to help you learn how to create an adventure worth living. I have experience helping adults, adolescents, and children make changes in their lives. I like to find out my client's strengths and build off of that. Look, everyone struggles from time to time, but I'd like to see if I can help you change that. Let's see if we are a good fit.

Finding the right therapist can be a challenge. Whether this is your first time looking for a therapist or you want to engage with someone new, I would be glad to work with you. My approach to therapy centers on making you feel comfortable with the therapeutic process and create an open, safe atmosphere to reflect, learn, and grow.

I love to work with ALL couples who are experiencing relationship conflicts (including LGBTQIA2S+), families who need additional supports for parenting help, adolescents, younger adults, those in college and who are navigating changes, military personnel, and those looking to process any experienced trauma. I honorably served in the military for 27 years and have extensive experience in treating PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, infidelity, and substance use/co-occurring disorders.

I see clients for individual therapy and psychological evaluations. My approach is individualized and based on my clients' needs, personal background, and goals. My therapy approach utilizes cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, & existential modalities, adapted specifically for my clients. I also incorporate positive psychology elements by being person-centered, non-judgmental, & utilizing strengths in developing goals & a plan for treatment. My clients can expect to gain insight into the nature of their difficulties, with an individualized plan for progress and improved functioning.

Life can be overwhelming. Therapy should be a place where the worries of each day are met with compassion, patience, and an optimistic spirit. Through a combination of CBT, DBT, behavioral modification, and solution focused therapy, I aim to help clients discover their best qualities, explore the barriers that impede their progress, and develop a plan to take practical steps toward making their goals a reality.

I strongly believe that therapy should not be limited to addressing immediate issues, but should also focus on long-term growth and fulfillment. In my practice, I encourage my clients to explore their goals and aspirations and work towards leading more fulfilling lives. By identifying their values and strengths, they can make meaningful changes and create a life that aligns with their true selves. If you or someone you know needs support, I am here to help. Whether you are struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other mental health concern, I want to support you on your path to a more fulfilling life.
