Therapists Beginning With E in Nebraska

Are you struggling with the pressures of life? Do you have strong, over whelming emotions that seem to come from out of nowhere? Do you feel angry, or irritable, most of the time and don’t know why? Perhaps you don’t feel anything at all, and wish there was more to life than what you are experiencing now. Perhaps you already have a mental health diagnosis or another diagnosis of infertility or cancer or are struggling with a chronic illness. Are you part of the military, or a military family member, and are struggling with all that comes with that role including traumatic experiences, secondary trauma, and stress from many moves?

"Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen" - Brene Brown. Are you looking for a non-judgemental space to decompress and process through life's tough stuff? Are you seeking tools and tips for when things just feel too messy? When we are experiencing anxiety, depression, or any other intolerable feeling, it can be difficult to manage on our own. I offer a comfortable, non-assuming space to sort through any of life's complexities you or your family is experiencing.

I believe mental health is as important as physical health. It is my view that mental health can best be described as a spectrum - we are either in balance or out of balance. Currently the society we live in can make difficult for us to remain in balance, and we may find ourselves locked into thought or behavior patterns which prevent us from achieving the life we want. Therapy can help to restore our mental health equilibrium. My hope for my clients is that together we can identify and eliminate the disconnect between thoughts and behaviors so they can live a life filled with meaning.

I am trained in Child Centered Play Therapy, which is a research based, developmentally appropriate mental health intervention for kids. Child Centered Play Therapy uses play - which is the natural language of children - as a means to allow children to process big feelings, inner experiences, struggles and triumphs. My job is to facilitate this play and establish a safe, therapeutic relationship with the child. This relationship, paired with a safe, consistent play environment, has the potential to decrease problematic behaviors, increase self-esteem, increase positive coping skills and improve overall functioning.

Feeling overwhelmed? I can help. As an integrative, holistically driven therapist, I'm passionate about helping people learn effective and innovative strategies for wellness. I view therapy as a collaborative process, us working together to find solutions with a focus on mindful living, acceptance, and change. As we talk, overwhelming issues can become manageable. Therapy is about acknowledging and accepting ourselves, challenging old belief systems, letting go of what we no longer need, and being present in our lives.

Have you ever found yourself feeling so lost, anxious, or overwhelmed that you do not know how you got there or what to do next? You may find yourself lying awake at night thinking "I do not know what to do." If problems feel too big to tackle on your own or you feel hopeless about your future, it may be time to take a leap of faith and talk to a professional. You deserve to have healthy, functioning relationships and a life that you are excited about. Whether you experience anxiety, depression, have traumatic experiences, or relationship struggles, you do not need to suffer alone! Let's see what I can do to help.

I received my degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and have added certifications in Financial Social Work Counseling and Wellness Coaching. In addition to being strengths based and solution focused, I draw upon cognitive behavioral approaches, systems theory and person centered therapy. My clinical experience includes working with teens and adults from all backgrounds who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, issues surrounding gender and/or sexual identity, or traumatic events. I am comfortable with any person in any topic area.

It takes a great deal of energy second guessing your decisions and worrying that you are failing yourself and those around you. And once you expend that much "mental energy" spinning your wheels, irritations and feelings of inadequacy increase. It doesn’t take long to then feel like you're losing control and wonder what you keep doing wrong. When this happens, we often distance ourselves further, we stop expressing our feelings, and we begin to suffer in silence. And, it can be scary reaching out to a counselor because you really want to connect with them.

Look;ng forward to a brighter future is what it's all about. I believe that being open and honest can lead to positive changes in one's life. Together we can find a solution to everyday challenges one may encounter.

“He heals the broken-hearted and bandages their wounds.” Psalm 143:2. To that end, I have been helping people work through grief, depression, anxiety, marriage and parenting issues, co-dependency and adoption issues and have used a variety of approaches to help people find hope and healing for 28 plus years. My commitment to each client is to provide a safe place to heal and grow where you can confidentially express concerns in an accepting atmosphere.

Is your preschooler running your household? Has your teenager been pushing you to the edge? There are many different theories on how to manage unwanted behaviors in children, and help your struggling teen. Some of these theories can leave parents with more questions than answers. You might ask yourself, "Does my child need more attention, or am I giving too much? Are my expectations of my teenager too high, or too low? If I ask for help, does that make me a good parent, or an incompetent one?" I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and their families, and I can help you find answers.

My approach to therapy is to meet each client where they are. I believe my role as a therapist is to provide tools and insight to help clients live more successful and fulfilling lives. I enjoy working with pre-teens, adolescents, and adults. I provide individual, family, and couples therapy.

Are you tired of feeling like life will never get better? That you’ll always be impacted by memories from your past? That the anxiety, depression, self-doubt, guilt, relationship problems, or physical pain will never go away? Feel like you should be able to “just get over it”? You’ve come to the right place—there is hope! Did you know trauma comes in all forms and can impact people very differently? Complex trauma can develop due to multiple distressing events that typically happen over a period of time. Or trauma can be a single event such as a car accident, animal bite, complicated surgery, or traumatic birthing experience.

Are you depressed, stressed-out, feeling like life is out of control, and sometimes just like giving up on it all? You CAN live a happier and more fulfilling life.

I am grateful for more than 20 years of experience in walking beside clients as they grow and heal from a variety of life situations. Together in a strength-based/wellness approach, we create a balanced treatment plan focusing on mind, body, and spirit. In addition to traditional individual and family sessions, I offer supportive holistic therapies including meditation and nutritional consideration.

Who are you outside of being an athlete, teacher, mom, or office worker? As a Mental Health Therapist and 10 years experience in Sports Medicine, I have worked with thousands of athletes, aiding in their physical needs to get them back to full capacity and into competition. Through my experience I have found that, whether on a court or in an office, individuals can only be their best if they are focusing on their entire health and wellness. Their mental game is as, if not more, important as their physical wellness in finding success. I focus on five factors of holistic health: creative, essential, social, physical, and spiritual.

Sometimes life can be a struggle for all of us. If you are in the midst of a struggle with your loved ones, friends, past issues or everyday life, it may help to talk to someone. I believe that a lot of our struggles come from choosing between what our heart tells us and what our mind tells us. Sometimes those decisions are very difficult and put us at odds with ourselves.

I help clients realize what powerful resources they have within themselves to achieve their goals, to solve their problems, and to heal. My clients frequently discover options they did not realize they had. I do this by using a variety of approaches, tailored to the person's past experiences, the issues the client is trying to resolve and the objectives the person is trying to achieve. My goal is to help individuals move toward a greater mind/body/spirit connection within themselves and toward enriched relationships with others.

I assist adults in healing their hurts and transforming their lives for the better. You are not alone and you do not have to carry your strains and stresses by yourself. My clients can develop a better sense of self, live in healthier relationships, and grow in confidence focusing on strengths to find balance by providing solid, practical tools and skills to support healthy growth throughout the life cycle. You deserve to be part of positive life experiences supported by a companion to "walk" with you on life's journey. Doing so allows you to find balance in the ebb and flow of life.
