Therapists in Lincoln, NE

As the founder of Mind Matters Mental Health & Wellness, I am dedicated to providing excellent mental health guidance. People choose to seek guidance through counseling for a variety of reasons, and thankfully, asking for professional support has become a normal part of our society. While specializing in a variety of mental health matters, I practice on the premise that mental health and physical health go hand-in-hand. My goal is to help you find empowerment within yourself to grow or heal and to provide expertise in the topics you wish to address. It is my honor to help you do the work to become the best version of yourself!

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.

Life can get difficult, and it takes courage to move forward. If you are struggling with life's challenges, it might be time to see a licensed counselor. As a natural listener, interested in your stories, your challenges, and your goals, I'm here to nurture your journey toward healing and personal growth. In a safe, caring environment, I instill self-understanding and encourage clients to adopt new attitudes and feelings toward life situations by practicing logical thinking, mindfulness, relaxation techniques, and goal setting/follow through. ​

Welcome! My name is Dr. Courtney K. Miller and I am the Director of Clinical Services at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Counseling Center (IHMCC). We at IHMCC want to support anyone who may be experiencing difficulties in their day to day life. Sometimes individuals may need a supportive environment to refine what they are doing; sometimes individuals need longer, more intensive therapy to address and heal past wounds. It can be difficult sometimes to know what to do, how to do it or who to ask. We are here to help.

Welcome to my practice! I specialize in treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and related disorders. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder involves experiencing distressing, intrusive thoughts. Intrusions are paired with repetitive behaviors. Themes include contamination, causing unintentional harm, perfectionism, religion, relationship, sexual orientation, and "bad thoughts" (violent, sexual, taboo). When addressing OCD, my preferred method of treatment involves Exposure Therapy with Response Prevention. Individuals with Hoarding Disorder experience significant distress when discarding possessions. Avoiding this distress results in an accumulation of items that intrude on one's living space. In treatment, it is important to address both acquisition and factors that interfere with discarding.

If you are struggling with daily life struggles, women's issues, postpartum, anxiety, depression, grief, adjustment to change issues, relationship Issues, and/or other mental health conditions please reach out.

My approach to counseling is to help raise my clients' awareness of their unique strengths and the possiblities available to them for change and growth. One way of empowering these changes is by exploring ways in which my clients may be operating under the influence of mistaken belief systems, and help them shift toward more hopeful, optimistic thinking. I encourage utilizing humor and self-compassion as tools for transformation. Over the years of my practice I have felt fortunate to have witnessed the courage, creativity and resliency of the people I have met.

I believe in people living their best life and being their most authentic self. I believe that everyone has the right to inclusive, competent, weight neutral, and trauma informed mental health care and that's what I focus my practice on.

While I can't tell you a space is safe I hope that my office can become one for you.

I specialize in working with clients who have a history of trauma including physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse. I also work with clients suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder and Dissociative Identity Disorder. Left untreated, these conditions can make life unbearable not only for the client, but also for those who love them. Therefore, in addition to individual and couple counseling, I also offer weekend workshops for clients suffering from these conditions as well as their loved ones. These workshops enable the participants to learn more about these disorders and how to manage them more effectively.

Clients who seek help are generally looking for a wide spectrum of improvements in their life. I look at the big picture which includes, their personal happiness and their balance in life which includes relationships, family, work, play, personal health,growth, and spirituality. No matter their age or gender, all issues relate to their current diagnosis and life situation. Depression,self esteem, adjustment issues, and relationships are the focal point of every treatment plan.

Mental health affects us all but in different ways. We can experience the same symptoms/issues/stressors, but perceive and experience it very differently. This is what I enjoy about being a Mental Health Practitioner; the curiosity and insight of understanding one’s story through their own lens. My clinical approach is empathic, nurturing, and motivating. To help individuals achieve their goals, I often use Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, or Solution Focused Brief Therapy.
