Therapists in Omaha, NE

I believe that the key to raising healthy well balanced children is to lead by example. Setting and some times re-establishing rules, boundaries and expectations for your children and family is vital for a happy home. My goals as a therapist are to help individuals and families discover balance and peace in their lives and to find a more hopeful perspective of life. I have over 7 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults. Some of my areas of expertise include: treating depressive disorders, ADHD, and issues of self-esteem. I specialize in working with males 12 and up.

I make it a priority to not only use evidence-based techniques in my practice, but also to form trusting relationships with my clients. I primarily work with people ages 8 to 21 with a variety of issues including trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, behavioral or impulse control problems, psychosis, low self-esteem, and communication issues, among others. I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, while also taking techniques from other therapy modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Taking the first step to start therapy can be overwhelming. I strive to help my clients feel understood and comfortable by creating a therapy environment where clients can feel empowered to make positive changes in their personal lives. Healing is possible, even after the most difficult experiences. The important thing to know is that you do not have to do it alone. My clinical experience includes helping adults in various settings which include outpatient mental health therapy, inpatient treatment centers, and shelter settings.

Hello and Welcome. Thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Bill Hehner. I work with children, adolescents, and adults on a wide range of presenting issues, including depression, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, grief and loss, oppositional-defiant youth and parenting. My approach is eclectic and I utilize a number of methods to help an individual achieve their counseling goals. I have a deep respect for all my clients and the therapeutic relationship.

Daily routines and simple tasks can sometimes feel like a power struggle with children. You have tried everything to only experience temporary or no success. Life doesn't stop for tantrums, where giving up and giving in seems easier so you can get out the door. Parent-Child Interactive Therapy PCIT benefits families by acquiring skills to increase positive interactions and ability to regulate emotions when facing stressors and challenges. I enjoy helping parents regain confidence in themselves as daily routines become easier and your child builds trusting, healthy boundaries. PCIT treatment, generally, is best for kids ages 2-7yrs.

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.

If you are like many of us, you may not feel sure of who you are or what you want in life.

Together, we’ll uncover who you truly are under social and familial expectations, heal past wounds, and create a lifestyle that keeps you squarely in your worth.
