EMDR Therapists in Lincoln, NE

I believe in meeting people where they are and value providing a comfortable and inclusive space for all. I know therapy can be intimidating, and I pride myself on bringing a healthy amount of humor into the therapy room while holding compassion and working through the trauma. As a therapist, I acknowledge systemic injustices that impact my client's experiences in their identity development and celebrate their uniqueness. I welcome all identities and am active in continuing my education and training to meet the needs of historically marginalized clients effectively.

Everyone deserves access to affordable mental health. The Couple and Family Clinic at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln understands the need for hope, compassion, and support when life’s problems seem overwhelming. Our clinic provides in-person and telehealth therapy services to those struggling with relationships, parenting, depression, anxiety, symptoms of trauma, grief and loss, social skills, and more. Our therapy interns are trained to provide culturally humble, responsive, affirmative, and inclusive evidence-based treatments for individuals, couples, and families.

I have been in practice for a little over 8 years. I am passionate about helping clients with past trauma as well as many other mental health struggles. I have completed level 1 training in EMDR and have a dual license in both mental health and substance abuse. My style is fairly laid back but direct when I need to be. We take most insurances and my schedule is typically 9-4:15 Monday-Thursday and 9-2 on Fridays. I have several available spots and can do a variety of in person and telehealth sessions. I look forward to working with you!

Sanctuary Psychotherapy and Wellness, LLC was formed out of my passion to provide just what the definition of the word Sanctuary implies: a place of refuge and/or safety. I have worked in the addictions and behavioral health field since 2005. I am a dually licensed therapist; I am an Independently Licensed Mental Health Therapist and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor.

I encourage clients to think of their mental health as just as important as physical health. It is all connected!

Seeking healing by being vulnerable takes a tremendous amount of bravery. Often the situations, experiences, wounds, and/or losses impacting our anxiety, depression, grief, self-worth, and self-esteem are the last topics we want to discuss. Labels and shame can make us feel stuck in our wounds. It is my goal to help you heal and make meaning of past hurts and current stressors that are impacting you.

Individuals are welcome to my practice. My practice name reflects my philosophy to assist in finding healthy solutions to life's problems that will promote quality living.

I believe that every person is an expert of their own life and possess inner strength necessary to deal with life situations. However, we may sometimes be overwhelmed by presented challenges or carry a load of childhood traumatic experiences that block the access to those resources and don’t allow us to find the best solutions. At Presence Psychotherapy, LLC, together with the client, we will explore different strategies and techniques, and examine important relationships within family and social systems, that will help them see new possibilities and become the author of their own life.

It takes immense courage to seek counseling when you find yourself struggling. Life's more challenging experiences often leave us struggling with hurt, doubt, or feelings of being overwhelmed. For many, this can be daunting and the idea of talking about our struggles with a stranger may sound uncomfortable and even scary. My focus is to provide a safe space by listening with compassion and curiosity and without judgement. Together we can discover your journey to a fulfilling life defined by you.

I work primarily with children, adolescents, and their families. However, I additionally work across the age spectrum and throughout the adoption network with adoption-related issues. I see behaviors as communication of unmet needs. As a client-centered therapist, I work to learn where clients have unmet emotional needs, how their family can work to meet those needs, and what barriers there are to that process.

We all need to be seen and understood, and it’s my goal to make therapy a space where that happens. I approach therapy from a place of getting that it's important to make sense of your experiences, know & feel that you are valid, & have a way to move forward feeling grounded in your authentic truth. I often work with people who have experienced trauma in relationships, a lack of emotional support in childhood, religious trauma, and marginalization. I can help with if you've been struggling to make changes you want in your life and relationships, have been overwhelmed by emotions, or don't ever know what you're even feeling.

I believe a therapeutic relationship must be free of judgement and based in compassion and empathy. I use a person-centered approach to therapy, meaning I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and I am there to meet you where you are at. Even if we experience similar life situations, no two lives are the same. I engage each individual in a manner that allows them to be their authentic selves in a safe and empowering environment. I believe insight, reflection, and personal awareness are powerful tools for understanding ourselves better and changing our lives.

The ache and overwhelm of unresolved attachment trauma is not something anyone is meant to move through alone. If you're struggling to make sense of a partner's infidelity, the loss of a loved one through death or separation, or how you and your partner ended up not only turning away from each other but turning against each other, know you can not only survive this season, but find purpose, healing, and peace again. My training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, EMDR, and DBT allows me to provide compassionate, evidence-based care to those looking to stop merely coping and start truly living.

Do you dread waking up each morning, worried you will experience another day filled with anxiety? Do you have difficulty maintaining healthy boundaries in your relationships? Do you wish you could stop the negative self-talk that plays in your head but aren't sure how? If any of this sounds familiar, you have come to the right place. When working with me, you will find a therapist who uses compassion, humor, and practical tools to help you move toward your goals for healing. I believe that all of my clients are capable of living a life marked by hope and restoration but sometimes need some help getting there.
