Oppositional Defiance (ODD) Therapists in Omaha, NE

Through my work with teens, young adults, and families over the years I have developed an authentic, warm, and inviting approach to therapy. I provide therapy to address a wide variety of concerns including; stage of life transition, crisis, depression, anxiety, oppositional behaviors, trauma recovery, relational interactions, family dynamics, and personal exploration. My professional journey includes specialized work in helping children and adolescents heal from trauma and manage behavioral concerns, and I have acquired years of experience working with parents and families in crisis.

Is your preschooler running your household? Has your teenager been pushing you to the edge? There are many different theories on how to manage unwanted behaviors in children, and help your struggling teen. Some of these theories can leave parents with more questions than answers. You might ask yourself, "Does my child need more attention, or am I giving too much? Are my expectations of my teenager too high, or too low? If I ask for help, does that make me a good parent, or an incompetent one?" I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and their families, and I can help you find answers.

Life can have both unexpected and expected challenges. It is important for you to be able to find an individual with whom you connect, and that can assist you on your journey. I often like to think, that everyone is the author of their own story. Depending upon your previous and current experiences, your outlook may vary on what is in your control and what is not. I am here to tell you, that you can change the narrative in your story for your next chapter to feel rewarding and for it to be different.

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.

I treat adults and adolescents with addictive behaviors, depression, anxiety, oppositional behaviors, and/or trauma history. I also help to guide family members of those with addictions. I enjoy seeing the progress that people make in all areas of their life when they are able to put aside addictive behaviors, reduce their emotional pain, and genuinely feel better about themselves. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and have used it to help people heal from trauma and reduce overall anxiety. I also use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Theory in my approach.

In therapy I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the patient and caretaker alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.

I am a licensed, independent mental health practitioner specializing in child and adolescent therapy. I am also a licensed alcohol and drug counselor trained to complete juvenile drug and alcohol evaluations.

I believe therapy is a process that takes effort from both the client and the therapist working together to achieve the client's goals. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other therapies, I show my clients how they can replace their current thoughts with more positive and adaptive thoughts, which will change their mood and behaviors. I believe that clients have control of their treatment and can achieve a lot more than they think they can. I will work with clients in providing the skills that will help them achieve their goals. I am licensed in both Iowa and Nebraska and can diagnose co-occurring disorders.
