Therapists Beginning With N in Nebraska

I have been a clinical psychologist for over 20 years, first as a staff psychologist at UNMC, and now in private practice in Papillion. I work with people 19 and older. The work I do is generally insight-oriented, meaning I want us to understand the factors underlying behaviors before attempting to change them. I am particularly interested in patterns, and how prior relational learning can repeat in the present. I try to make my office a place of safety where people can explore prior learning about themself and others in order to modify assumptions, expectations, and behavior. This type of work tends to lead to long-lasting change.

Throughout life, you may have faced injustices causing you to question your worth. I strive for my clients to be fully seen and held in compassion as we explore your past and how it has shaped you, while discovering ways to reclaim your power in the face of interpersonal and systemic harm. I have specialized training and experience in working with substance use (particularly in harm-reduction), PTSD and trauma, intimate partner violence, anger management, self-compassion, men and masculinity, veterans, and the LGBTQ+ community.

Life is messy and if we're honest, sometimes we're a little messy too. I work with individuals 12 years and older who find themselves stuck in patterns they don't want to be in - from challenges opening up to people you want to be close to, regulating your emotions, setting boundaries, struggling with self-doubt, and more. I would love to work together to identify the root of your issues and pursue healing so you can live the life that you desire.

Life is hard and everyone faces significant struggles at times. Oftentimes asking for help can make you feel weak or ashamed, which makes the problems seem even more difficult to bear. We were not meant to face these things alone. Counseling is for those who want to partner with someone to take a compassionate and honest look at their lives, face their problems, and find a path forward.

I am a compassionate and experienced therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve their goals. With a warm and nonjudgmental approach, I provide a safe place for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings and behaviors, empowering them to make a positive change and have a more fulfilling life. I work with older adolescents, and adults, and with ID adults.

I help clients tame anxiety and depression - many who see improvement in 6-8 sessions. I hold a MA in Community Counseling and another in School Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado and a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Wyoming. My background includes working with adults, children, and teens, teaching parenting skills, drug and alcohol counseling, grief counseling, and working with people with disabilities.

Together, we can work on goals to improve your situations that bring you to therapy. Whether it is symptoms of trauma, anxiety, or depression that brings you here, I use an integrated approach and have many tools to help you improve your life circumstances.

Mental health impacts each of us differently, making things even more important to not compare or judge how each of us feel and respond to life’s stressors. One of the most rewarding components of my job is truly meeting each client in their defined “time of need”. During your therapy journey, we spend time exploring your emotions, thoughts and behaviors, increasing your self-awareness and “tweaking” the tools to utilize in managing your emotions healthier.

Does the relationship that used to bring you so much joy now feel isolating, confusing, and frustrating?  Have you been so defined by the opinions of others that you've forgotten who you are and what you want from life? Are anxiety and panic almost always running your life, and you can't remember the last time you felt grounded and at peace? Know it doesn't have to be this way. At Sikhona Holistic Therapy + Wellness, I use evidence-based treatment, compassion, humor, and no-nonsense guidance to help you infuse joy, freedom, and peace into your life.

It can be hard to reach out in our most vulnerable moments. I feel privileged to meet with individuals in those moments and provide compassionate care and confidence in the healing journey. I have experience working with women, children and teens, older adults, and those struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions and financial stressors, ADHD, and ASD. I have a special interest in working with mothers during and after pregnancy and post-abortion care. I specialize in gambling disorders and can provide counseling for family members as well.

With so many challenges that we face in life today, it can be easy to feel stuck. Finding peace may seem far out of reach. However, I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming the trials of life. Therapy is a collaborative process, in which the therapist and client work together, building skills and working through issues, large or small.

Our journey forward is within us. I will assist with the facilitation of you becoming more self-aware so you can be empowered to fully live life.

My work experience also includes working with and doing advocacy work for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence.

Good experiences in counseling and therapy require a trusting relationship between the therapist and the person seeking services. Within this relationship you can feel safe to explore your current situation, learn to trust yourself and make decisions that support who and how you want to be. The services I provide are for adults seeking individual counseling. People who work with me have problems various things such as depression, anxiety, history of trauma and Complex PTSD, grief and loss, emotional, physical and sexual abuse. Difficulty or challenges in relationships also bring people into therapy.

We collect experiences as we move through life. These experiences form the lens through which we view ourselves and the world around us. My goal is to support clients in processing their experiences, understanding how those experiences have shaped their world, and finding value in who they are as a result of their story so far.

We all embark on the journey of life at the same starting point. We travel down the road before us, trying to carve out a path that will lead us to the kind of life that will bring us joy. However, there are times when that path leads us off the course of happiness and fulfillment, and into the unexpected. Whether you're stuck in the woods of depression, anxiety, or relationship problems, it is possible to climb out and get back on track. I know it feels daunting now, but that is why you are here. Here at New Outlook Counseling, we will work with you to help you develop the strategies you need to get back on the path that lead
