Therapists in Omaha, NE

It's the perfect time to create the life and relationships you want! Therapy doesn't have to be an anxiety producing activity. Long-lasting change takes patience and time to accomplish. However, I understand that hard work is necessary to achieve the timely results clients appreciate, so I am direct in my approach. I love helping people enjoy their lives more fully and accomplish their goals by helping them decrease their depression and anxiety symptoms and increase their self-esteem. I also enjoy helping couples work through the problems that are keeping them from having thriving relationships.

Pura Vida! My name is Lisa Dunlavy, MSW, LCSW, LIMHP. 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.

There are challenges in everyone’s life that can seem daunting.

Anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions can be incredibly overwhelming and debilitating. The constant battle with negative thoughts, intense emotions, and physical symptoms can make it difficult to function daily. As a therapist, I understand the weight that these conditions can carry and the toll they take on one's well-being. That is why I am dedicated to providing a safe and compassionate space for my clients to come and share their feelings with me. I want my clients to know that they are not alone in their struggles and that I am here to support them every step of the way.

We are a multiethnic and multiracial group practice that centralizes care for BIPoC and LGBTQIA+ communities. Clients who come to us are working though life challenges related to their identities. They are often in a process of self-exploration, working to make sense of their place and identity in the world where they are made to feel like "the other" and have been marginalized, traumatized, and blatantly microaggressed. We recognize the importance of finding providers who get it, from a shared and lived experience. Here, our aim is connect communities of color and queer communities with providers of color and queer providers.

Now accepting clients! If we do not author a love story with ourselves, we may never know the wounds of our own soul. In the safety net of therapy we can show up for ourselves, discover our inner world, learn why we do what we do. In the comfort of knowing ourselves, we find our true belonging. In this eventuality, in the fullness of time, we can belong in this world and show up for others without betraying ourselves. There is a wealth of love and freedom in this way of being. The process of therapy can navigate you towards your most cherished home, yourself. Our relational stories bloom from this place of abundance only.

I completed my master's internship at UNMC Counseling and Psychological Services where I had the opportunity to work with graduate and medical students. During this time, I started integrating neuroscience into treatment planning. I have found this evidence-based approach resonates well with my clients because they can better understand the way that they respond to their environment and how their internal processing frames the way in which they view the world.

Do you feel anxious or overwhelmed? Do you feel guilty for saying "no" or wish you had better boundaries? Maybe you find yourself self-sabotaging and wish you knew how to stop. I provide useful tools and healing so that you are better equipped to manage your emotions, improve your boundaries, and stop self-defeating behaviors. You will gain emotional insight and overall stability in your life. I tailor each session to focus on your needs and you will leave each session with the resources and skills needed. This will lead to the lasting healing you deserve.
