Oppositional Defiance (ODD) Therapists in Omaha, NE

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.

Asking for help is hard—and look at you, rockstar! My name is Shae and I am a therapist in the Omaha-Metro area. I work predominantly with teenagers age 13 to 19 and young adults who are experiencing a myriad of struggles. I am passionate about creating a safe and accepting environment to promote healing, empowerment and resilience!

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 work well in the areas of trauma, attachment, foster care and adoption, behaviors, ADHD, depression, anxiety, bi-polar and many other areas of mental health.

Stress and anxiety can be a part of life. However, sometimes a person will find themselves drowning in feelings of loneliness, hopelessness and fear. Sometimes these feelings and thoughts become are so overwhelming that people literally feel held hostage by despair. People become paralyzed with fear unable to make a decision because of self-doubt. People lose the will to face the day stop taking care of themselves. My typical clients range from teenagers to adults with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, anger management issues, ADHD, PTSD, codependency, poor stress management or coping and other various mental health conditions.

Wanting to maintain and improve your mental health can feel scary to do alone, we all want to be heard and feel seen by others. Often times talking and questioning can bring the clarity you're looking for. Whether you're ready to do the work, or just exploring, having someone to work with goes a long way. I am accepting new clients. I enjoy working with adolescents on emotional regulation and communication skills. I am open to new experiences with other concerns.
