Relationship Issues Therapists in Omaha, NE

Therapy is the unique process individuals use to break through obstacle they are facing that are preventing them from living their best life. Whether you are facing obstacles from your past that need to be uncovered and healed or experiencing a recent situation that you need support working through, my diverse background, education and broad range of theoretical approaches creates the opportunity to develop an individualized plan to meet your needs.

The Cord’s founders, Cathy and Stefanie also founded the Attachment and Trauma Center Institute and created the Integrative Attachment Trauma Protocol (IATP-C). This protocol, along with other modalities that focus on neurobiology, trauma, and attachment theory inform our treatment. The Cord's therapists, who are also independent contractors, focus on attachment, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma and adoption issues. We help adults, families, and children/adolescents. When working with families, our collaboration with parents is an essential part of whole family healing.

Our mental health, like our physical health, requires care and attention. When we find ourselves experiencing thoughts, mood, or other mental health symptoms that interfere with our quality of life, therapy can be beneficial. It may provide us clarity, greater self-awareness, and help us cope in a manner that honors our values and who we are at our most true selves. I work with diverse clients, teens through older adults. My goal is to promote healing and improved resilience to successfully navigate difficult life transitions, LGBTQ+ concerns, complex trauma/PTSD, grief, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and adapting to health issues.

Is pain from the past inhibiting you from living the life you envisioned for yourself? Does it feel like you've been through so much that it's hard to even conceive of such an "envisioning?" Save that stuff for once you're out of survival mode, right? The fact is, trauma alone is not uncommon- it's part of being a human being. But for some of us, these traumas have been so severe that we can struggle to bounce back, feeling adrift and alone. Like journeying across the ocean when a storm cracks your mast, emotional trauma can leave us feeling lost, confused, and even desperate without a sail. How do we get back to dry land?

Is life overwhelming? Do you feel depressed, anxious, or chronically stressed? As a therapist, I'm passionate about offering support and teaching clients effective and innovative strategies for overall wellness, using integrative and holistic interventions. Therapy is about understanding and accepting ourselves, challenging old belief systems, letting go of what we no longer need, and learning to be present in our lives. Through your therapeutic work, you can begin to heal past hurts and traumas, reducing overall distress and suffering. Perhaps even, the adversity you’ve faced will transform into the peace and resilience you desire.

We all bear marks and scars from life’s hardships and trials. Comparison of pain can frequently keep us from reaching out for help because “someone has it worse.” I am here to help you walk through whatever pain has brought you to where you currently are, grief, anxiety, depression, or transitions in life. Taking the step to seek counseling is incredibly brave; it is stepping out and saying you are more than what may seem insurmountable right now.

"The best way out is always through."~ Robert Frost. Jeanie's work has included interventions with adults and families navigating role reversal and life transitions. For years, Jeanie has worked for local hospitals as a medical social worker assisting elder adults and their families with difficult changes. This experience shapes her understanding of how hard transitions can be for families and for older adults. She also has vast experience with bereavement and grief support and is able to lend an empathetic ear for all who may be going through a difficult time. Jeanie is also a Certified Grief Counseling Specialist (CGCS).

Jennifer has been a therapist for 12 years, working with children, teenagers, adults, and families. She has specialized in helping clients who have experienced trauma but also works with individuals and families on a variety of other concerns such as anxiety, depression, attention problems, bipolar disorder, intellectual delays/ functioning, grief and loss, LGBTQ+, and family relationships. Jennifer's primary focus is to assist others in discovering and developing their own self worth, taking ownership for when they've lost control, and finding a way to move forward.

Everyone always says parenting is hard, but that it is so worth it… leaving you to wonder when that will be true for you and leaving you to feel guilty when you feel like screaming at your toddler for not listening, or pulling your hair out due to your child excessively worrying about nothing, or walking on eggshells around your moody teenager. While you’re still figuring out how to navigate and adjust to each new phase of your own life, you’re also trying to teach your kids how to be human and how to find their own authentic selves in this changing world.

*daytime openings only* Many of my clients have experienced life circumstances that have taken a toll on their emotional and physical well-being. I have extensive experience with adult survivors of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse as well as domestic violence. I am trained and utilize Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), both of which are highly effective for treating trauma. If you are struggling with getting past your past, I would be honored to work with you.

I make it a priority to not only use evidence-based techniques in my practice, but also to form trusting relationships with my clients. I primarily work with people ages 8 to 21 with a variety of issues including trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, behavioral or impulse control problems, psychosis, low self-esteem, and communication issues, among others. I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, while also taking techniques from other therapy modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

My hope is that I can support you through some of life’s toughest challenges with empathy and understanding.

Sometimes childhood is interrupted by crisis—feelings and situations too big for children, teens and families to deal with on their own. Often children (especially teens) express their sadness, fear and anger through their behaviors and attitude. This "acting out" is especially challenging to caregivers. Child Saving Institute (CSI) offers comprehensive mental health services including pediatric, adolescent and family therapy alongside psychiatric evaluations and medication management services to children, teens and young adults.

Welcome to my Psychology Today profile page. If you've arrived here, you've most likely been given my name from someone who's opinion you value, or you began a search for a therapist. Good for you. We can all use some support these days.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. I am a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) who offers in-person or telehealth counseling services to clients in Nebraska or Iowa. I am passionate about working with individuals struggling with perinatal mental health issues, stress, grief, anxiety, depression and trauma. Together, we determine your goals and develop a treatment plan to meet your needs.

I am skilled at helping through the day to day struggles of anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, although my door is always open. Therapy should feel like a safe space to begin working through the tough stuff that has come up in life, and my goal is to help you discover the tools and skills to press on in this journey no matter what the circumstances. My job is not to tell you what to do, but rather to support you as you journey unfolds.

Going to a counselor can be pretty frightening; my goal is to make it as comfortable as possible. I believe that we all need help at times to work through difficult issues in our lives. I count it a privilege to help clients with the stresses of life. Beginning therapy can be a big step toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the best life possible-no matter what challenges you may be facing. Through therapy, you can change self-destructive behaviors and habits, resolve painful feelings, improve your relationships, and more.

I completed my master's internship at UNMC Counseling and Psychological Services where I had the opportunity to work with graduate and medical students. During this time, I started integrating neuroscience into treatment planning. I have found this evidence-based approach resonates well with my clients because they can better understand the way that they respond to their environment and how their internal processing frames the way in which they view the world.

Our deepest longings are to be seen, known, cherished, and touched. But often we live alone and thirsty in the wilderness. Relationships with families, friends, co-workers, and/or church community may be filled with trauma, anxiety, betrayal, pain, or ongoing stress. We may be in a state of brokenness, completely shut down, trapped by anger and grief or stuck in a meaningless rut. Strategies that had once managed life may be working against the relief we desire. Efforts to protect ourselves keep relationships shallow and distant. As a result, there is a deep thirst in our soul that nothing seems to satisfy.
