Somatic Therapists in York, NE

“Start close in…” What in you is hungry for answers? What might your life look like if you were deeply well fed by your choices? People come to me with hunger pangs. They're hungry for deep connection - to themselves, to a partner, to a job, to their life. They come to me craving answers - carrying persistent questions that may be contributing greatly to feelings of starvation, of wanting more. I partner with people who are searching for clarity, purpose, and more meaningful connections both personally and professionally. My clients seek to be better nourished by their life choices and feel more balanced in their relationships.

My name is Mike Keegan, and I am licensed as an Independent Mental Health Practitioner in Nebraska. I help people process underlying trauma that leads to anxiety, depression, relational issues, and addictions. I utilize Somatic Experiencing, the Meadow's model, and other various trauma-informed approaches. If you are struggling with anxiety, sadness, shame, guilt, or feeling stuck in a rut, then I could be the right person to help you. I also have extensive experience working with veterans, first responders, and their family members.

I take a nonjudgmental trauma-informed approach, recognizing the somatic components of mental health. I am especially interested in working with neurodiverse adults and teens. I believe that a mental health diagnosis isn’t something you need to be afraid of, rather it can be a key to discovering your superpowers and what you really want out of your life. I also travel nationwide to cofacilitate and provide spaceholding for somatic and spiritual retreats.

I am a trauma specialist and continue to build my skill sets and education in this area of focus. All of us carry parts of us that are needing to be connected with current or past trauma. Allow me to guide you towards the process of healing and an understanding of the maladaptive beliefs "Not being good enough" you hold within.

My approach specializes in helping you understand why relationships or other aspects of life are not functioning as you hoped. We will work together to develop a plan, repair past pains and disappointments, and help you begin to living the life you always wanted. Your story and your pain have a purpose, and your voice matters. Depression, anxiety, a persistent fear of rejection, or feeling alone and hopeless can impact all aspects of life; including relationships, marriages, jobs/careers, and children. Together we will use your strengths and wisdom to find solutions, relief, and the enjoyment you deserve.

In our journey through life, we may be faced with challenges that leave us feeling stuck, or in need of guidance to follow our desired paths. At times, we all may struggle to heal or make changes within ourselves. Whether it be anxiety, depression, stress at work, problems in relationships, or unhealthy cycles, life can become overwhelming for all of us at times. Seeking counseling is not a weakness, it is a strength! We all have the capacity to change, grow, and heal from traumas or other difficulties we may face.

Inevitably, we all encounter periods in our lives in which what we've learned to that point isn't sufficient for the challenges we now face. I believe therapy can be a safe, supportive environment in which to better understand ourselves and the world and to revisit what we want in life and how to get there. Whether you are dealing with significant anxiety or depression, or simply need a new environment to learn your way through new challenges with a helping eye and ear, I bring a humorous, creative, curious and open-minded approach to helping you progress through life's challenges.

Hi, my name is Liz! As a mental health counselor, I accompany individuals through life’s challenges and bear witness to their experiences. I work to provide children, teens, and young adults the tools and a safe space to grow and succeed. I have experience working in the behavioral health field in outpatient, partial care, and home settings. I specialize in addressing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment issues, ADHD, anger management, and other behavioral concerns.

My aim is to follow you into whatever calls for your attention, develop an authentic relationship and safe space to explore it, and use and provide tools and techniques as necessary. My work is informed by contemporary / relational psychodynamic theory, emotion-focused therapy (EFT), somatic therapy, parts work, and Buddhist psychology. I work with individuals, couples, and groups ages 12 and older, whether it be short-term and solution-oriented or long-term and exploratory.

I am committed to helping people learn how to build healthier relationships with themselves, their loved ones, and the world. Our work together will target past experiences, present life challenges, and steps towards your future life. I believe in giving the body its due and supporting you in gently bringing your mind and body back together. I believe that sometimes, we need to feel our way through difficult situations and emotions, rather than just thinking our way through hard times. I use an eclectic approach, including Brainspotting, EMDR, and Somatic Experiencing. I additionally offer sound healing.

I respect the courage it takes to seek therapy. If you are struggling to find direction, confused by loss or life transitions, stuck in the various forms of addiction or simply desire some objectivity, I would love to meet you. I find sincere joy helping my clients find their truest potential; parts of themselves previously unseen. Let me help you find your strength! In the process my approach will be direct yet compassionate and down-to-earth, I will speak in a language that is easy to understand and relatable.

It takes immense courage to seek counseling when you find yourself struggling. Life's more challenging experiences often leave us struggling with hurt, doubt, or feelings of being overwhelmed. For many, this can be daunting and the idea of talking about our struggles with a stranger may sound uncomfortable and even scary. My focus is to provide a safe space by listening with compassion and curiosity and without judgement. Together we can discover your journey to a fulfilling life defined by you.

Welcome! I have spent more than a decade in trauma work and understand the arduous process to release the debilitating grip past trauma can have on a client’s present-moment experience. I recognize the profound courage it takes to look deeply within. I prepare my clients to find that invisible line between comfort and discomfort to set the foundation for lifechanging results and encourage them to live in their own authentic truth. Trauma healing looks different for everyone and I work side by side with each of my clients to design a path of healing that feels right to them.

Welcome! I'm so glad you landed on my page. I am a strengths-based, client-centered, expressive arts therapist who sees teens and adults working through anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief/loss, relationship issues, identity questions, & trauma. The first thing I'll do when we meet is listen. I want to hear your story, in the way that you tell it. Together, we'll explore the parts of your story that are working for you, and the parts you want to shift; the parts of your story that are in your control, and those that are not. I will act as guide and witness to the work you do to move towards the life you want and deserve.

Days can move slow, but life often moves fast. It is easy to get stuck in the scripts of our life roles and feel as if we have lost our unique identity. Do you want to be more engaged in life, feel more at peace, and be more deeply connected to yourself and your loved ones? I am here to help.

As a "wounded healer", I offer a no-nonsense, transparent, and direct but compassionate approach to bring a new perspective and hope.
