Therapists in Omaha, NE

My goal is to provide ethical, identity affirming, evidence based care for people looking to better their life and improve their mental health. I thoroughly believe that clients are the experts in their own experience and in what they need in order to be well.

Are you feeling worried, disconnected, or troubled by past experiences? Are you struggling with your personal relationships or often feeling angry? You are not alone in these feelings, and I am ready to support you. I am a well-trained therapist and have experience working with individuals like you. I graduated with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. I have also spent time studying approaches abroad and have a large worldview. I have enjoyed supporting a diverse set of individuals from all walks of life.

Therapy really thrives when a client is ready to change either themselves or the situations that they find themselves in. Whether you are struggling with life-changing topics like divorce, a death in the family, or persistent depression or just need someone to lend a supportive ear, I strive to empower clients to make those enriching changes to their lives. Depending on what kind of client you are we will collaborate and plan an approach that instills the change you want to see in your life.

Have your attorney suggested that you obtain a report from an immigration evaluation therapist? Are you wondering what type of immigration cases benefit from a psychological evaluation? In some immigration cases, a psychological evaluation report can be a very valuable evidence and has the power to change the outcome of your case. I have provided psychological immigration evaluations throughout the last ten years and possess extensive experience in conducting Mental Health Evaluations and detailed written reports for Hardship Evaluations (I-601 & I-601 Waivers) as well as Trauma Evaluations (U-Visa, VAWA petitions, Asylum, T-Visa).

My name is Dr. Katie Reutzel and I am a Registered Dietitian and Provisionally Licensed Mental Health Practitioner in the state of Nebraska. I am an adjunct professor at the University of Nebraska-Omaha in addition to offering nutrition and mental health counseling through my private practice, K-Love Counseling. I am passionate about seeing the whole person healed...body, soul, and spirit...through the work of the Holy Spirit and the integration of both mental health and nutrition to ensure my clients are able to live life in freedom and abundance.

We collect experiences as we move through life. These experiences form the lens through which we view ourselves and the world around us. My goal is to support clients in processing their experiences, understanding how those experiences have shaped their world, and finding value in who they are as a result of their story so far.

Allowing yourself to be open to participating in therapy can be a scary step. I hope to ease some of those fears by creating a supportive environment that provides space for you to work on your goals, at your pace. My goal is to provide you concrete skills to use in your everyday life, to help you achieve your goals, help with symptom relief, and improve quality of life.

Welcome! I know getting started on your mental health journey can often take a leap of faith, but I am here to help you along the way. I believe in a collaborative approach to mental health treatment and I can't wait for us to get started on working towards your goals.

"Owning your story is the bravest thing you will ever do."- Brené Brown We all have stories, some that we have chosen to create and others that were created for us. Maybe your story is easy, maybe your story is hard, perhaps your story is embarrassing or maybe your story creates feelings of guilt or shame; Whatever the story, whatever chapter you may be in, whatever chapter you may be thinking about opening, I commend your bravery and courage. You do not have to suffer alone.

I have a unique style that blends multiple theories. I’m able to adapt to your needs and your style in a way that is most effective for your individuality. I am an honest, down-to-earth, funny, caring therapist. I keep it very real! I’ve been a mental health therapist for 12 years now and have been working with individuals, couples, and families for over 25 years. Does that make me sound old? Or experienced :)

Hello and welcome! I am a dually licensed Mental Health and Addictions therapist in the State of Nebraska. I have decades of experience in the human services field working with people who are sure there is more to life than struggle, heartache, pain, and frustration. My approach to therapy is strength-based, person-centered, and solution-focused. I have a strong background in Acceptance and Commitment therapy but work from a plethora of strategies to help my clients find what works best for them as they move towards their goals. Therapy is a trust relationship that requires time and attention. I am able to provide both.

I enjoy working primarily with adults who have dealt with depression, anxiety, and trauma since childhood/adolescence and are wanting to begin their healing journey. I also enjoy working with clients who have interpersonal relationship concerns and are wanting to improve that aspect of their lives. My specialties include depression, anxiety, PTSD, complex trauma, interpersonal relationship concerns, self esteem, and chronic illness.

You are not your trauma. You are a thriving, valuable survivor. In therapy with me, we will tap into your strengths to help create new standards of healthy living. When you say to yourself, "I am bad, or I am unloveable" those are messages that were taught to you and can be unlearned. Through the use of evidenced based treatment models, we will work together to help you heal from traumatic experiences.

Do you feel like there is something that keeps getting in the way of being able to live a life of fulfillment and joy? Is emotional pain or worry about the future making it hard to enjoy today? Sometimes even the strongest people need some help to work through some of life's more challenging problems. Overwhelm, stress, constant change, weight gain-these things can seem to be an inevitable part of life but that doesn't have to be the case. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, panic, depression, self-esteem, I want you to know there IS hope for a better tomorrow.

"You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great." When life seems overwhelming, sometimes the hardest part is just getting started. Working with an experienced and dedicated therapist can enhance your quality of life and provide a foundation for positive growth in all areas of life.

"Life’s difficulties can be overwhelming and at times feel unmanageable. Utilizing aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques, I can assist you in learning skills to manage life’s stressors and decrease that overwhelming feeling. Together, we can navigate through the therapeutic process and find what is comfortable for you. I assist individuals to address things such as relationships, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, and behaviors. I provide therapy for ages five and up for individuals, couples, families and groups. We also offer teen, adult male and female groups.

I work with you to address concerns that are keeping you from fully embracing and enjoying life. Perhaps it is trauma, depression, difficult relationships or low self-esteem that are keeping you from living with the freedom you desire. Perhaps you are looking for a place where you can talk about your relationship with God or explore the things that give meaning to your life. Perhaps there are other concerns for which you are considering counseling. I welcome the opportunity to be a companion and guide with you on the journey to greater wholeness in living.

Sometimes the ways of the world and personal stressors conflict with what we need to be ok. It can often be difficult to manage and cope with how racism, violence, employment, chronic illness, relationships, parenting, abuse, and past trauma impacts one’s mental and physical health. If your goal is to learn who you are and how to live your authentic self, you have arrived at the right place. I utilize Integrative therapy, which makes room for inclusivity and flexibility at meeting client differences. This includes Cognitive Behavioral, DBT, Family Systems, Gestalt, etc. Diversity in people demands diversity in approaches!

Abraham Maslow once said “In any given moment, you have two options, step forward into growth, or backward into safety.” Each take courage and self reflection and I want to help you evaluate both. I am here to help you live a life of meaning and value. I provide therapy in a nonjudgmental, confidential, and compassionate atmosphere. We all feel stuck or lost at times, perhaps clueless of the way ahead. Through therapy, we can collaborate to rework the issues holding you back. Together, we can create a path to your most valued and meaningful living.
