Therapists in Blair, NE

I am currently offering immediate availability for both in office and Telehealth services. I offer morning and evening appointments from 10:00 am until 6:00 pm Tuesday-Thursday. I specialize in trauma, anxiety and depression, and I am EMDR trained. I am also a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and focus on weight loss, sports performance enhancement, and mood regulation through the use of hypnosis. I look forward to helping you navigate your healing journey.

I work with individuals with a wide range of concerns. My clinical specialties and interests include disordered eating, body image, obesity and weight loss, LGBTQ, gender identity, phase of life transitions, grief/loss, relationships, assertive communication, issues related to trauma/adverse life experiences, holistic health and wellness, self-compassion, and promoting self-awareness and insight. My background includes significant experience in the delivery of behavioral health care including individual psychotherapy and inpatient, intensive-outpatient, and outpatient groups. In addition to my experience with psychotherapy services, I also complete psychological assessments, provide supervision to pre-doctoral psychology interns, and consultation services.

You are not broken. No one is. Still it can feel that way sometimes. Chances are, you're actually a capable, talented, and lovable person dealing with a crappy situation (or bunch of situations) or life just isn't what you want it to be. I want to understand how you see yourself, explore what isn't working, and define what success means for you (not what others' or society has told you). We will explore the ways you've overcome hard things before and test out new tools, until we find what works specifically for you. My most important job is to reflect your strengths and beauty back to you and help you put these skills to work.

Do you find yourself struggling to answer life's questions or manage your mental health day to day? I'm here to help! I believe every client is unique and has unique life experiences that shape who they are. I am a firm believer in mental health recovery and would like to help you on your journey towards wellness. My goal is to create a safe and productive therapeutic environment where clients can grow and work together toward change. My areas of interest include perinatal mood disorders, marriage and relationship issues including co-parenting struggles, depression, life transitions, family conflict, and college stress.

My name is Dr. Nika George and I am a therapist with my PhD in clinical psychology. Clients typically visit my practice to receive specialized care for high achieving adults who experience perfectionism, and burnout. I also specialize in treating people with PTSD, complex PTSD, and trauma in childhood such as emotional abuse and neglect. In addition, I frequently work with clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions (divorce, moving, relationship issues, setting boundaries, assertiveness training), career stress, or postpartum mood changes.

What does it mean to "take care of your mental health?" It's easier to tell when you aren't taking care of it: chronic stress, exhaustion, worry, and panic are all signs your mental health is suffering. If untreated, you could start having nightmares, poor health, trouble in your relationships, and difficulty staying on top of work or school. There are many things that can lead to mental health struggles, like a too-busy schedule, a chronic illness or someone else's troubles, a major life transition, or a death of someone close to you. Or, it could seem to come out of the blue, caused by nothing at all.

You want to make changes in your life. You want to break out of the old patterns and problems that are holding you back. But you're not sure what to do. I can help you access and develop your inner and outer resources to create better relationships and a more satisfying life. With over 41 years experience as a counselor and therapist, I am an effective life-change partner for you. We will work together to understand the root causes of your problems, so you can make real, lasting, and significant changes in the aspects of your life that are making you unhappy.

Sometimes life throws us a serious curve ball; whether it's coming to terms with a new medical diagnosis, adapting a disability, coping with the stress of career transition, or the loss of a significant relationship, these dilemmas can send us reeling. Any traumatic life event can leave us angry, sad, anxious, confused, isolated or just plain stuck and overwhelmed. My practical counseling philosophy supports clients with grief, trauma, relationship conflicts, financial stress, health issues, and vocational challenges presented by change, loss, new or existing disabilities.

If you are looking for a professional partner to help you with something in your life, you've come to the right place. Life can be a challenge; it's time for you to grow emotionally and strengthen your psychological skillset. I've been helping clients for nearly 25 years and I use my professional experience to collaborate with you so that together, we can find ways to make even small changes possible. I focus on evidence based treatments; meaning we actually measure your symptoms over time and ensure that things are improving. It's not easy but worth it!

Do you feel stuck and overwhelmed? Do you feel like life has no meaning or purpose? Life can be difficult when walking through the valley of challenges. Be encouraged, there is hope! While there are many ways to overcome obstacles and live a fulfilled life, therapy is one way. As your therapist, my goal is to partner with you in a therapeutic alliance and tackle life's challenges as a team. My clients find me to be empathetic, empowering and an active listener. I also offer faith based therapy to individuals who choose to incorporate faith into the therapeutic process.

Mental health problems don't define who you are, they are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain, but, more importantly, you are not the rain. (-Matt Haig) I believe in an individual’s strength and ability to learn and grow from life’s challenges. As a compassionate advocate of mental health and LGBTQ+ ally, I create a safe space free of judgment for my clients to express and be their true authentic selves.

M. Natasha Sanchez, MSW, LIMHP, LICSW, is a community based therapist providing services to those seeking to improve their relationships with others, change or eliminate troubling behaviors and habits, improve their control over mood and anxiety, perform better at school or work, adjust to difficult life events/transitions, and those who simply wish to gain insight into their personal past in order to welcome a bright and more honest future. Natasha's orientation to counseling is relationship based (collaborative), flexible, respectful and confidential.

I am currently accepting clients. I am a bilingual psychotherapist who offers services in both English and Spanish.

My areas of expertise are Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, including CPTSD, complex trauma, sexuality, ADHD, panic attack, anxiety, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, Dissociative Identity Disorder, and depression. My career is my passion, my vision, and my mission.

Allow yourself to experience changes through the seasons of life! As a counselor, it is my delight to come alongside clients and encourage them to transition through life's challenges. I believe that people can transform, weather the storms of life, and gain tools and insights to help them do so. I provide a safe environment, filled with compassion and empathy, in which clients can share their hearts, their fears, their dreams, and their stories.

Engaging in therapy is a powerful tool to help us navigate many key moments in our lives. You are taking an important step by searching for someone to partner with in this journey. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in individual and couple therapy. I have been an independently licensed psychologist for 13 years and have worked with clients for 20 years. I specialize in treating stress, anxiety and panic disorder, depression, life transitions, sleep difficulties, and relationship issues.

I am a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner in Virginia and Nebraska. Licensed Substance Abuse Counselor in Virginia and Nebraska. As a mental health and substance abuse counselor, I am committed to helping individuals learn how to change their attitudes and beliefs, while learning strategies to address the root cause of their difficulties. I am passionate about creating resources for individuals who are struggling and hold them accountable for the change they desire.

Taking time to listen and hear your struggles is the core of what I do. Learning new skills to help overcome these struggles is what you and I will do together. I strongly believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in therapy, therefore I will work with you at whatever pace necessary, so you feel safe and comfortable sharing your most vulnerable experiences. Processing and uncovering issues that connect our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be challenging; you don't have to do it alone.

Our life experiences at times can transcend the normal function of day to day life and can shape us, guide us, and at times lead us off our desired path or get us lost altogether. It is my belief that every person has the desire to expand beyond the patterns of their past and the ability to achieve a full and well-balanced life. I specialize in a unique integrative approach that addresses the whole person-mind, body, & spirit in the healing process.

The idea that sustainable happiness is an unattainable goal, is a tricky one. It's that thing we say to ourselves: "if I just ____ then I will be happy ...or if they just ____ then I will be happy." I prefer the idea of moving toward being more content. Isn't content what we feel when we are comfortable, calm, validated and without anxious or depressive thoughts that mess with our days? Often, if not almost always, we have traumas (big or small) and mean/sad/negative inner voices and thoughts that, if we process them, we can get to our contentedness.
