In Person Therapists in Hickman, NE

Do you notice yourself getting stuck in the same old patterns? Are feelings of shame and guilt constantly overtaking your mind and body, leaving you with the painful belief that you aren't good or deserving enough? Have you found yourself desperately trying to take control of your life through management strategies that used to serve you well enough, but now only seem to make things worse? If any of these questions resonate with you, know there is hope and a way through into a life of compassion, confidence, and peace.

My name is Sara Campbell and I am so glad you are here. Starting therapy is hard and scary especially if you've had a bad experience with therapy in the past. Or maybe you have been struggling by yourself for so long, the idea of opening up and being vulnerable is difficult. I try my best to make it easier by focusing on building trust from the beginning (this means we go at your pace) and making your goals the focus of our sessions. I am passionate about working with the perinatal population as well as anyone experiencing anxiety, depression, or general life stressors.

Do you dread waking up each morning, worried you will experience another day filled with anxiety? Do you have difficulty maintaining healthy boundaries in your relationships? Do you wish you could stop the negative self-talk that plays in your head but aren't sure how? If any of this sounds familiar, you have come to the right place. When working with me, you will find a therapist who uses compassion, humor, and practical tools to help you move toward your goals for healing. I believe that all of my clients are capable of living a life marked by hope and restoration but sometimes need some help getting there.

If you are reading this, you may be weathering a challenging season in life. It may be hard to recognize at this moment, but I truly believe that everything you need already lies within you. I am here to offer my clients a safe and supportive environment where they feel heard, supported, and empowered as we navigate this challenging season together and seek long-term healing.

Since 2011, I have worked with clients across settings, including children's hospital, behavioral health clinic, state locked unit, community counseling center, and university counseling services (UNL & ISU). Over the last five years, I primarily worked with university students struggling with anxiety, depression, intimate relationship, coping, adjustment, family of origin, substance use, academic performance, and career issues. More recently, I have transitioned to operating from my private practice office located at the Behavioral Wellness Center, where I offer counseling and psychological evaluations with a focus on ADHD and ASD.

My work is in outpatient therapy providing services in office, facilities and in home to families, children, adults and couples. General Areas of focus include: General Mental Health; Addiction; Trauma, PTSD; Chronic Pain; Physical health, medical issues; Spiritual Counseling; Depression; Anxiety; Families, Parenting; Physical/Emotional/Sexual Abuse; Pornography, relationship and sexual issues; Life Stage Issues.

Seen, heard, valued, and known- that is what I hope you feel in the therapy space. I believe that everyone has what they need to heal within themselves. I work to provide a space to process & understand the impact of your experiences & help connect you to the strength within to begin the journey of healing. The work of therapy includes addressing issues related to family of origin, trauma, abuse, identity, sexuality, physical, mental, and spiritual health, cultural/societal norms, and other systemic factors.

I provide strength-based therapy for individuals, couples, and families who experience difficulties coping, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, difficulties adjusting, and low levels of self-worth. I utilize a cognitive-behavioral therapeutic approach to assist in setting goals, applying strengths, and finding new ways to cope with stressors. I've worked in both medical and agency settings with a consistent effort to treat the mind and body as a holistic unit.

This quote encompasses my approach to trauma and change: “Trauma creates change you don’t choose. Healing is about creating the change that you DO choose.” In my work with clients I seek to navigate through change, healing, and trauma, find and seek deeper meaning and understandings of our own selves within our existence and displays of resilience. In creating what we CHOOSE, whether it be CHANGE through our thought processes, relationships, decisions, or behavior the goals can seek to embrace the differences, challenges, and the unexpected that life throws at us.

Now Accepting New Clients: Recognizing your struggling and wanting to seek help is hard. Working toward healing and sitting in a therapy room ready to share your experiences is one of the most difficult things we can do as humans. If you are ready to begin your healing journey or continue your process, I strive to provide a safe space where you can be seen, heard, and acknowledged. A place where it is safe to sit with the scary, dark, worrisome, happy, and hopeful parts of you and work toward a place you want to be. I primarily work with individuals and couples.

We all need to be seen and understood, and it’s my goal to make therapy a space where that happens. I approach therapy from a place of getting that it's important to make sense of your experiences, know & feel that you are valid, & have a way to move forward feeling grounded in your authentic truth. I often work with people who have experienced trauma in relationships, a lack of emotional support in childhood, religious trauma, and marginalization. I can help with if you've been struggling to make changes you want in your life and relationships, have been overwhelmed by emotions, or don't ever know what you're even feeling.

Are you troubled by intense anxiety, depression, or painful memories from the past that won't seem to fade? Do your thoughts and behaviors trouble you or seem to interfere with your relationships? If you have these experiences, you are not alone. I understand how difficult coping with painful events can be. I welcome assisting you in your healing.
