Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Omaha, NE

What does it mean to "take care of your mental health?" It's easier to tell when you aren't taking care of it: chronic stress, exhaustion, worry, and panic are all signs your mental health is suffering. If untreated, you could start having nightmares, poor health, trouble in your relationships, and difficulty staying on top of work or school. There are many things that can lead to mental health struggles, like a too-busy schedule, a chronic illness or someone else's troubles, a major life transition, or a death of someone close to you. Or, it could seem to come out of the blue, caused by nothing at all.

Are you struggling in a relationship, feeling like things are out of control, or feeling stuck and unable to get over some of life's hurdles?

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed? You may be tired from trying to give everyone your best and still feel like you aren't enough. I believe that healing occurs when the mind, body, and spirit are acknowledged, nurtured, and allowed the freedom to fully transform. If we aren't living our life intentionally we unknowingly block the best versions of ourselves from emerging. Do you become fearful of success, self-sabotage growth, and yet continue to seek deeper meaning and purpose in your life? If this message resonates with you it's time to do something different! Ask yourself - What's the best that can happen?

Pura Vida! My name is Lisa Dunlavy, MSW, PLCSW, PLMHP. Wellness refers to our overall balance of our physical, social, spiritual, emotional, intellectual, environmental and occupational well-being. Life stressors and mental health struggles can create imbalances in our well-being, but together we can create goals to address these imbalances and assist in making positive change, self-growth, and to learn how to live in the moment. Additionally, I am a Veteran of the United States Air Force (USAF). My perspective as a Veteran allows me to not only be an advocate, but a provider to those who have served.

Do you feel off track? Are you experiencing relationship issues, trauma , anxiety, depression sadness/grief, or another mental health challenge?

I value and enjoy being able to help others grow in their ability to practice resiliency. I am here to help you improve your well-being.

When we are struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, guilt, or shame, the negative things we believe about ourselves are probably the culprits. Our thoughts about an experience or event can powerfully affect our entire being and therapy can help get to core issues causing it. If you experienced a traumatic event, whether in childhood or as an adult; if you are or were a first responder and are experiencing isolation/detachment, hypervigilence, depression, nightmares, flashbacks, or panic attacks, techniques in therapy can enable your brain to process the traumatic experience which will alleviate the debilitating symptoms.

Feeling more anxious, overwhelmed, and sad than usual? These feelings can be caused by life transitions and/or trauma . Together we can help you gain proven, scientific, research-based skills to work through and overcome these issues with an integrative, holistic, and humanistic approach. Ready to live your most passionate, purposeful life? Is emotional or physical pain holding you back? Your own hero's journey is awaiting and together we can help you along that path to achieve your dreams. The first step is often the most difficult, and that is to reach out for the help that you deserve. Phone and live video sessions available.

I enjoy serving adults and children of all ages and working collaboratively with individuals and families to improve emotional health and overall well-being.
