Parent-Child Interaction (PCIT) Therapists in Burt County, NE

I believe that everyone should be able to live their lives to the fullest. For many, there is something that gets in the way. I would like the opportunity to help you learn how to create an adventure worth living. I have experience helping adults, adolescents, and children make changes in their lives. I like to find out my client's strengths and build off of that. Look, everyone struggles from time to time, but I'd like to see if I can help you change that. Let's see if we are a good fit.

I fully understand what it feels like to have all the feelings but no idea what to do with them. I also know what it’s like to “know” what to do and feel unable to make positive changes. Because of this, I firmly believe you are the expert on your own life and my role as the therapist is to support, encourage, and offer a fresh perspective on areas of struggle. Through our collaborative work, my goal is to offer guidance as you learn to embrace what it means for you to experience a fulfilling, authentic life.

I am dedicated to helping children navigate life's challenges and thrive emotionally, socially, and academically. I provide a fun, safe and supportive space where children can express themselves, develop resilience, and reach their full potential.

Life can be challenging. You don’t have to go through it alone. I believe that one of the most important aspects of counseling is the relationship between client and therapist- the therapeutic alliance. I aim to connect with my clients through empathy and honesty. I value treating clients with respect and compassion, and I believe that change is possible when you have encouragement and the right supports in place.

I work with individuals using evidence-based interventions to help address a variety of concerns. My approach when working with children and adolescents is to include the family unit in the therapeutic process to help set and achieve goals whenever possible. I believe it is important for a therapist to work alongside the client/family to help guide them in their transformation, not be the sole director of the journey. I aim to help clients develop the skills to maintain their growth long after therapy is over and generalize their skills to other situations life may put in their path.

I have built a rewarding career helping others and dedicating myself to the kids and families I serve. With nearly a decade of experience, I understand the importance of creating a welcoming environment to facilitate meaningful relationships with both my clients and their families. I have practiced in a variety of settings in various states, including Illinois, Ohio, and now Nebraska. As a licensed school counselor in Illinois I worked with students and families in both middle and high school settings before my family and I moved to Ohio, where I focused on providing social emotional learning in before and afterschool settings.

Feeling stuck or anxious? Overthinking or losing sleep? Not feeling good enough in relationships or in parenting? I help adults let go of what's holding them back from thriving including anxious thinking, people pleasing, perfectionist tendencies, feelings of unworthiness, and trauma. I also help parents who are feeling defeated to create more peace and joy at home through connection. All services are online/virtual. Sessions are by video.

As a mental health therapist, my primary goal is to foster a safe and non-judgmental environment where you feel heard and understood. I will collaboratively work with you to build a healing environment. I strive to create an environment and therapeutic relationship that emphasizes trust, genuineness, and mutual respect. This creates a safe space for you to express and explore thoughts, feelings, and past experiences.

My name is Linda Degner and I have lived in several different places across the US finally landing in Nebraska in 2014. I believe that inviting a therapist into your life takes courage and I take that honor very seriously. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization), PCIT (Parent Child Interaction Therapy), Theraplay, and TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy). I have significant experience working with victims of sexual abuse, physical abuse and neglect, children in foster care, couples, and Christian Counseling.

My mission is to interactively provide individuals, couples and families the tools to rebuild, restore and regain control of their lives, exploring underlying issues related to cognitive and dialectical reframing, addiction & trauma related issues. I am also trained in (PCIT) Parent Child Interactive Therapy- A short-term program, specialized behavior management program designed for young children experiencing behavioral and or emotional difficulties. I am also trained in (EMDR) Eye Movement Desensitization, Adoption Competency and Addiction/Sex Offender Treatment.

Talking about mental health can be a sensitive topic, but my goal is to provide a safe non-judgmental space where you can explore and prioritize yourself and your mental well-being at your pace. I am dedicated to supporting individuals who have experienced trauma and helping them heal and thrive. My commitment extends to collaborating with children (2-12), adolescents (13-18), and families to cultivate positive transformations, genuine happiness, and stronger, healthier relationships. Additionally, I devote my time to Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), where I aim to improve and create secure connections and environment.

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.

Hello! My name is Brenda Jewell and I am originally from South Texas but have made Nebraska my home for the past 18 years. I am bilingual in Spanish. I have experience in working with families that have endured a trauma through sexual abuse, physical and domestic abuse, neglect as well as families that are involved in foster care. Working with children and their families has been my calling for many years and my hope is to continue to be an advocate for families in this community

I have been honored to have had the privilege of working with both adults and children for the past 15 years. I believe we all possess and deserve the ability to find a sense of peace, harmony and happiness in life. I have been privileged to work with amazing adults and children and welcome the opportunity to walk beside you in your journey. I am here to assist, empower and advocate for you. If you have been thinking about making changes in your life take the next step and contact me.

I believe in a rapport-based approach to therapy: mainly authenticity in communication and interpersonal development of relationships. I aim to remove stigmas and depathologize issues, focusing on outcomes over symptoms. My philosophy is that people are often unaware of their core values, or stressors have made them seem far too distant. When building acceptance around the reality of problems facing families, and focusing on objectives that improve wellness, change can occur. The behavioral interventions, objectivity, and support found in the therapeutic relationship help lead individuals and families to their goals.

I strongly believe that therapy should not be limited to addressing immediate issues, but should also focus on long-term growth and fulfillment. In my practice, I encourage my clients to explore their goals and aspirations and work towards leading more fulfilling lives. By identifying their values and strengths, they can make meaningful changes and create a life that aligns with their true selves. If you or someone you know needs support, I am here to help. Whether you are struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other mental health concern, I want to support you on your path to a more fulfilling life.

My goal is to provide personalized mental health and substance abuse counseling to help individuals achieve their personal goals in Iowa and Nebraska. I regard each individual in an ethical and professional manner.
