Therapists in Waverly, NE

I believe we each have our own strengths and abilities to manage the difficulties that life brings us. Sometimes we lose sight of these and need guidance finding ourselves again, whether it's individually or within our relationships. My goal in therapy is to partner with you to find your unique strengths and help you build the skills to find a path towards happiness within yourself and in your relationships.

I work with adults and adolescents seeking to improve their relationships and emotional well-being. I partner with my clients to achieve their goals; improving their feelings about themselves and others; and fostering a sense of well-being using effective, evidence-based methods. I work well with individuals, families, and couples seeking relief from depression, grief, anxiety, traumatic events and abuse, developmental and intellectual disabilities, and borderline personality disorder. I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy. I also utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in my approach and have completed Level 2 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

I enjoy working with people of all ages and creating a safe space; from a former client, "I never had the fear of being judged. I could just talk and Miranda would listen. She always had the logical thing to say and knew what I needed to hear at that moment even the hard things! It never felt like therapy to me and I think that was why I felt so comfortable. It was nice to know someone was listening."

I want nothing more than to collaborate with my clients in order to help them discover the problems they want and/or need to work on, what strategies would work best to improve those problems, implement strategies, problem solve, and help my clients to build a life worth living. Together, we will focus on the physical, mental, and emotional conditions of your life and I will support you in many different ways to help you grow in each of those areas.

I believe that feeling comfortable and cared about are essential to your counseling experience. Positive change occurs when the client feels heard and empowered. When trust is established, clients feel safe in knowing that they can be honest. If you have lost a loved one, found yourself down in the dumps, feel anxious, or are experiencing other life challenges then it may be time to seek professional help. I offer an inviting atmosphere and a safe place in which clients can learn about themselves and develop the skills to overcome their challenges. I offer Christian counseling for those who are seeking this service.

My passion for working with others to find solace in their life has spanned a period of 21 years; both as a therapist & a school administrator. No matter who we are, there are obstacles & roadblocks that we need help overcoming. Sometimes, we need someone with whom we can bare our soul; sometimes we need reassurance that our thoughts are reasonable; sometimes we just need someone to listen. Life does not always turn out how we imagined. I have the background, skills, and experience tohelp others get as close to that imagined life as possible.

I care about people and I want to help. Helen Keller is quoted as saying, "The only way out is through" and I believe you don't have to do it alone. I view therapy as a collaborative process in which we work together in a safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment. We partner to increase awareness of your thoughts and feelings, identify your values and goals, and practice actions to help keep you moving forward. Together we can identify and acquire effective skills to get your life to how you want it to be. You can do this. You have more ability than you may realize.

Have you been feeling anxious, frustrated and overwhelmed? Clients working with me will benefit from a calm and caring space, as well as an open minded approach to their concerns. My hope is clients will leave their therapy sessions feeling like they have strategies to help them deal with day to day life, techniques to improve their mental health, and feeling empowered to move forward in their life.

" A medical diagnosis can be a terrifying time for you and your family, it can feel as if life is lost or has been stolen. Therapy allows individuals and their families make the transition from a medical diagnosis to living life again." I Am CURRENTLY OFFERING TELEHEALTH. PLEASE CALL 402-420-2650

I work primarily with adults with a wide range of presenting problems such as depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, bipolar, etc. My early training and early career jobs were in agencies serving primarily children and adolescents. I have shifted to working primarily with adults, but continue to keep my hand in a bit of therapy with adolescents. My background in child/adolescent therapy has been useful in working with adults struggling with their children, teens, and adult children. I also enjoy working with couples struggling with the trials and complexities of being in a marriage.

I take a holistic health approach, focusing on treating and supporting the person as a whole. All facets of life are examined including mental, emotional, physical, nutrition & social to help determine the best plan for healing. I strive to create a safe environment that is welcoming to all and goes beyond focusing on an illness and eliminating symptoms, but rather create a positive approach to life. The best way to schedule is via email.

I am a trauma focused therapist that is passionate about helping people identify triggers, barriers, or hang ups that are preventing them from living their most fulfilled and happiest life. I offer supportive insights and tools to assist clients in their life journey toward their identified goals. I enjoy utilizing creative techniques and tools in treatment such as narrative or art therapy.

As a clinical psychologist, I often work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, traumatic stress, grief/loss, and big life changes. I will work with you to identify your unique experiences and strengths which we will build upon to move through whatever obstacles may be in your way.
